Interview with Phil Simon: The Age of The Platform

Not so long ago I interviewed Phil Simon on his then book release, The New Small.  Well he’s done it again and in record time. Phil has recently released his new book The Age Of The Platform, and although I have not read it YET (waiting for my copy to come in the mail, LOL), I have no doubt it will be filled with some amazing content and learning moments for anyone who reads it!


Some of the topics covered in the podcast:

  • The benefit of self-publishing
  • The distinction between a platform and a plank and how they are related
  • The power of building a platform as a method of collaboration
  • The Gang of Four and how they’ve created what Phil has deemed the new business model – The Age of the Platform
  • Using Kickstarter as a way to fund your project and some great tips
  • Steve Jobs Biography by Walter Isaacson

Note: Please excuse of the background noise as the interview was done over phone. However, I think if you can look past that, you will get true value from the interview. ;-)

Well I have to say it was once again a pleasure interviewing Phil and at the rate he is going, I expect we will be seeing ever bigger things from him soon. I hope you’ve enjoyed the interview and remember there are so many lessons to be learned here.

You’ve heard the old adage “if at first you don’t succeed try, try again” or “where there’s a will, there’s a way”.  Phil Simon is a perfect example of this and I hope this has inspired you to believe in yourself, believe in what you do and most of all – NEVER GIVE UP!

Hugs. :-)
