I like this guy. I'm not rich but have enough to give some away and as he, I give it while I'm still alive. It's so rewarding to see people's faces receiving money they never expected.
Bob, FYI: You not closing IBM as a customer, was a testament to you being too good of a salesperson! You were so good, you convinced IBM that networking had a future. IBM's error, like many big business want to be the standard in the industry, not create it. They had the false belief they had the size to bully the market into adapting their tech as the saw fit. Loved the honest and thoughtful interview. God bless.
Bob is a rare breed. Both highly technical and business savvy and he understands Silicon Valley and its machinations. Its hard to believe that area which has created immense wealth many times over started with just a handful of entrepreneurs who would listen and support wild ideas as they built a new industrial sector and new economy. The comedy Silicon Valley catches some of the vibe well and spoiler - many of the story lines are loosely based on reality.
not generally a fan of billionaires as most are just born rich and combine that with greed and sociopathy. This man seems truely humble and to have made it mostly through his skills..which seem mostly to be sales
I find it always interesting when I read comments that judge a person based on an interview. We can talk about an impression, but making a good impression and being a good person are two very different things. Everybody loved my mom, she did voluntary work, was very active and had an impressive Vita. Yet she was an alcoholic and beat us kids and nobody knew.
Hi Noah. I'm not sure if you can get this to Bob, but I just wanted to say "Hi!" I was an instructor at a summer computer camp at MIT in 1999. I had a lab with all the colorful iMac G3's. Everyone else had a Windows 98 lab. His son, Max (I'm almost positive that is his name), was in my class and I taught him how to program True BASIC on it. Bob came in and we spoke for a while. He was super nice. We spoke just like in this interview :) He told me about inventing the Ethernet at the famous XEROX PARC and how he had to go around and sell it all over the world so it would become the standard. I remember our conversation to this day! Super nice guy!
Watch any of these types of videos and you will find a common trend, the interviewer cares about the money, the wealthy person cares about the product and making a difference.
Very interesting fellow. I have known a few people like him; highly educated, tremendously successful, fabulously wealthy but still down to Earth and easy to talk with.
Thanks, I enjoyed the interview. I met Bob when he visited Australia circa 1989. At the time it felt like the wild west with a number of networking standards competing to become the dominant standard. An exciting time for the industry.
What a charming fellow. It's interesting listen to someone who's an inventor but also has a sales psychology knows how to communicate his thoughts so gracefully.
Great interview, love it! “I try to dock with various opportunities and then it clicks” - that's actually how his main creation works. It just docks, clicks, and then you have a immense range of possibilities.
15:41 so true. First I sat with sales people, then learned the best techniques to start selling on my own. Fonus on building the funnel and not the quota.
Great interview, Noah. Early in my career, I worked at IBM in their former Networking Hardware Division, in the early 90s. By then, 3Com was the king of Ethernet. Bob's comments about IBM asking him to talk to them about Ethernet was before my time. The alternate Bob mentions was Token Ring which was one of the dominant networking protocols in the 1980s and 1990s. Obviously, Ethernet won the war. Great to hear Bob's stories. Important lessons and commentary.
Wow.... As a kid who grew up making Lan parties for games before broadband, and went to college to literally make cat5 cables... this is an epic one for me and a lot of IT subscriber guys... cheers, and respect. 🍿
Way back when I implemented a bridge between our proprietary minicomputer ethernet and Novell network using the 3C501 (3Com) pc board. It was an adventure for sure with a single block buffer. Not long after getting the bridge working, Racal came out with their 16k buffered board. I enjoyed those early days, fond memories.
Love this interview...you can tell this guy has a wealth of knowledge. We have the respect the grandfathers of innovation...without him and others you wouldn't have the technology we use everyday today. Earned my respect!
Incredible opportunity to hear this from Bob Metcalfe,thank you Noah!Asking whether it's worth it is a question on many minds. His perspective is invaluable, shedding light on the journey and its worth. Insightful interview!
On the summit with the Bell Labs guys and TCP/IP inventors (Kahn/Cerf). It’s nice to see that level of intellect also be very successful in business, and that’s what sets him apart.
Noah I watch a bunch of these videos and some of them do they same concept as you but you honestly separate yourself with your questioning, respect, and genuine interest in the person rather than the views. Good job and good luck to you honestly!
Pitching a network product to Steve Jobs and naming it "Orchard" would have an inherent marketing flare for several reasons tied to Steve Jobs' penchant for simplicity, elegance, and powerful symbolic messaging. Symbolism and Brand Association: Steve Jobs co-founded Apple, which has a strong association with the fruit. The name "Orchard" evokes an image of growth, cultivation, and abundance-all positive connotations for a networking product. It suggests that the product is not just another tech solution, but a vital, organic system that fosters connectivity and development, much like how trees in an orchard grow and bear fruit. Thank you GPT..love ya.
I wholeheartedly concur. At 60 years old and newly retired, my external retirement funds total around One million two hundred fifty thousand dollars.. With no debt and minimal retirement fund allocation relative to my portfolio's value over the last three years, I recognize the importance of a financial advisor. Neglecting them isn't an option; however, thorough research is vital to find a trustworthy fiduciary advisor.
Prioritizing effective personal finance management holds greater significance than the sheer amount saved, irrespective of income source. I understand you when you consulted a certified financial advisor which offered you tailored strategies to optimize financial results by reducing expenses and enhancing income, regardless of whether it's earned through employment or investments.
Many people underestimate the importance of advisors until their emotions lead to financial setbacks. I recall a couple of summers ago, during my protracted divorce, when I needed a significant boost to keep my business afloat. I conducted research and found a highly qualified licensed advisor. He has effectively increased my savings from $220k to $740k, even in the face of inflation.
Finding financial advisors like CHRIS RYAN STEWART who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very smart option/choice. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
I trade based on the season of the market. It gives me a direction on implementing the right strategies for long or short term. I also trade based on the volatility of the market. Although it wasn’t easy till I came across a mentor who helped to keep me in the market loop. My mentor is Bernard Paul.
I’m also conversant with Paul. I’ve learnt invaluable insights from Paul, who generously shares his knowledge and experience to help beginners navigate the complexities of the market
Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits, such as regularly setting aside money for sound investments...
yeah that is its achilles heel, but it was cheap. And now you can get them with a sock over the tab to prevent them breaking off when you pull a cable out of a ratsnest.
"If nothing is done on your finance, Income will relatively be unchanged." Wealth is attained through Pro aid, that's why the Rich seek aid of finance Pro(s) to attain wealth but claim to attain it themselves
"Don't lay your eggs in a basket." I attained wealth by varying options with the aid of my finance pro. and so far have attained so-much in my finances. Give this a try and attain wealth
*fist pound*. Same here. I enjoy sitting in my car at lunch studying material just like this!! My day job is something to be appreciated ... but escaped ASAP.
The comment about marketing v sales is an interesting one. The speaker talks about perceptions coming in (ie what the market / client base thinks of you/product), verses sales (meaning what you/product deliver). He has a nice way of putting it and an important distinction to make.
I'm only gonna comment on the thumbnail: *Money doesn't corrupt the character. It amplifies it.* Corruption is insatiable, thus naturally seeks ever-more material wealth in a futile attempt to fill an emotional-spiritual void. Give an intelligent and virtuous person a lot of money with no strings attached and they can do a tremendous amount of good, because then they simply amplify the influence of their character through interaction points with the status quo. As is their nature, they would spend that money very thoughtfully and with great insight and big-picture perception, and they would not waste time on turning that money into more money, since that would already defy their virtuous character. And no strings attached would mean that the source of the money shall not give it and then have an intensified desire to compensate and regain it, since that could lead to a neutral if not negative karmic balance sheet.
Isn't it ironic that one of the points that replaced each came out of the other Xerox went under due to electronic copies and person who made electronic copies able to be transfered without hardcopies ended up being surpassed by a networking company to make the technology more secure and usable at a larger scale.
Money reveals a person character and is a tool that can be used for good, bad or evil. Money is also a tool that gives a person options that they would not have if they did not have it. Having money is not bad. lusting after it and what it takes to obtain it no matter what is bad.
Would be an interesting round-table discussion to hear a gathering of ex-Xerox PARC employees discuss the culture of Xerox in the 1970s-1980s. It's possible that there was a cadre of execs there that "thought different" and understood the concepts emerging from their teams were SO world-altering the ideas had to be surrendered to the larger engineering community cuz they affected technologies so far away from Xerox's "core." However, it certainly looks from afar (50+ years) like the execs were completely left in the dust by the foresight of the engineers in their employ. Thankfully the real talent had the confidence to leave and take the ideas to more fertile ground.
@14:28 the problem probably wasnt in the money. The money usually only works as a catalyst. Whatever one carries around, positive or negative, it just shows up reinforced and floats to the top more easily
I was just connecting ethernet cables the other date and it's so hard to put them in UTP slots cause cable color scheme could be better organized for easier connection. It's been 50 years, I'm just saying, upgrade that shit bro.
Money is a form of energy created by human societies. It not related to virtue or vice, it is totally neutral. The way it is used (like atomic energy for good or evil purposes) creates vice and virtue in the user. Wealth and poverty are merely economic conditions. Wealth doesn't make people evil and poverty does not create saints. Poverty is not a life choice, it's an enforced economical condition in most cases. There is a danger to confuse poverty and a simple life. To lead a simply life focused on necessities is a choice, if one cannot afford necessities that's poverty. I prefer to be capable of fulfilling my needs and occasional wants with the help of my own means.
Money doesn't corrupt people. It reveals them. If you had the resources to fulfill your heart's desires, what would you do? What would become of you? Money opens doors. It doesn't make you walk through them
Bob’s sense of self-awareness is exceptional! Very admirable!
A truly honest simple conversation. I enjoy unpretentious people.
True! TX.
Crazy how people who literally changed the world are hardly ever known.
I know him and so do all the people that understand the Internet, don't praise your ignorance....
@@alwaysright3718Ironic, considering you’re ignorant of how ignorant the average person is.
@@Everysingletimeowitz I never mentioned average, so clearly you are, but probably suffer Dunning-Kruger Syndrome...
@@Everysingletimeowitzouch 😂
Unknown part of the creation of the Internet! Quiet billionaire !
Metcalfe is a national treasure. Thank you for getting him on
Bob was at MIT while I was there and I very much enjoyed his lectures.
I like this guy. I'm not rich but have enough to give some away and as he, I give it while I'm still alive. It's so rewarding to see people's faces receiving money they never expected.
Bob, FYI: You not closing IBM as a customer, was a testament to you being too good of a salesperson! You were so good, you convinced IBM that networking had a future. IBM's error, like many big business want to be the standard in the industry, not create it. They had the false belief they had the size to bully the market into adapting their tech as the saw fit.
Loved the honest and thoughtful interview. God bless.
lol, that part of "bullying.... " the next big thing in market has been repeated dozens of times since and will be done many more times.
Great interview. Nice job letting Bob do 90% of the talking. I could listen to him for hours.
Agreed.
Noah is an incredible interviewer.❤
Bob wouldn't of had it any other way, pretty sure Bob made sure Noah didn't interrupt.
Bob is a rare breed. Both highly technical and business savvy and he understands Silicon Valley and its machinations. Its hard to believe that area which has created immense wealth many times over started with just a handful of entrepreneurs who would listen and support wild ideas as they built a new industrial sector and new economy. The comedy Silicon Valley catches some of the vibe well and spoiler - many of the story lines are loosely based on reality.
Yup
so smart yet so self aware and humble, this guy is a good role model
not generally a fan of billionaires as most are just born rich and combine that with greed and sociopathy. This man seems truely humble and to have made it mostly through his skills..which seem mostly to be sales
I find it always interesting when I read comments that judge a person based on an interview. We can talk about an impression, but making a good impression and being a good person are two very different things.
Everybody loved my mom, she did voluntary work, was very active and had an impressive Vita. Yet she was an alcoholic and beat us kids and nobody knew.
Hi Noah. I'm not sure if you can get this to Bob, but I just wanted to say "Hi!" I was an instructor at a summer computer camp at MIT in 1999. I had a lab with all the colorful iMac G3's. Everyone else had a Windows 98 lab. His son, Max (I'm almost positive that is his name), was in my class and I taught him how to program True BASIC on it. Bob came in and we spoke for a while. He was super nice. We spoke just like in this interview :) He told me about inventing the Ethernet at the famous XEROX PARC and how he had to go around and sell it all over the world so it would become the standard. I remember our conversation to this day! Super nice guy!
These interviews are solid gold. Lacking that myself, here's my meagre contribution to keep them coming. Thank you!
You really are the "gansta of love" ;)
Cheers
- Godspeed
Watch any of these types of videos and you will find a common trend, the interviewer cares about the money, the wealthy person cares about the product and making a difference.
Because when you don’t have money you become obsessed with finding out how to get it……
Very interesting fellow. I have known a few people like him; highly educated, tremendously successful, fabulously wealthy but still down to Earth and easy to talk with.
Thanks, I enjoyed the interview. I met Bob when he visited Australia circa 1989. At the time it felt like the wild west with a number of networking standards competing to become the dominant standard. An exciting time for the industry.
Noah, I'm loving these deep money and business convos with the OGs. Your interviewing style is pure gold. Thanks! 👏
I just started watching this channel and I really like how noah gives the guests time to elaborate on different topics.
My three favorite channels: Noah Kagan, Stock Brotha, & How Money Works. Make my week complete! 🔥 🔥 🔥
I went and checked 'How money works'...some great content there 😉👍🏽
You son of a ..... Did you comment on ali abdaal channel. I saw. I found how money works . Thats cool channel.thanks man
What a charming fellow. It's interesting listen to someone who's an inventor but also has a sales psychology knows how to communicate his thoughts so gracefully.
selling is everything….. what a man ❤
Great interview, love it!
“I try to dock with various opportunities and then it clicks” - that's actually how his main creation works. It just docks, clicks, and then you have a immense range of possibilities.
Well put...
Great observation
If you want to understand the mind of an inventor/engineer, just listen to this man
15:41 so true. First I sat with sales people, then learned the best techniques to start selling on my own. Fonus on building the funnel and not the quota.
He’s so chill and modest

Money doesn't change people, it only exposes who they really are.
I love how Steve Jobs left that friendship window open cause he new there could be opportunities in the future!!!
Incredible opportunity to hear this from Bob Metcalfe,thank you Noah!Asking whether it's worth it is a question on many minds. His perspective is invaluable, shedding light on the journey and its worth. Insightful interview!
What a goldmine of information😎
What a humble man
This guy is legendary i dont think people realize his impact
Self awareness: great wisdom
I use his technology in my personal and professional life. This invention alone made all communications in almost all the industries today relies on.
On the summit with the Bell Labs guys and TCP/IP inventors (Kahn/Cerf). It’s nice to see that level of intellect also be very successful in business, and that’s what sets him apart.
I’ve always liked Bob Metcalfe. Very underrated man.
It's marvelous to note how someone who claims to have a big ego is almost entirely egoless in hindsight. That's called wisdom.
Noah I watch a bunch of these videos and some of them do they same concept as you but you honestly separate yourself with your questioning, respect, and genuine interest in the person rather than the views.

Finding financial advisors like CHRIS RYAN STEWART who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very smart option/choice. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
Noah you are the man! You are so blessed to interview sir Bob Metcalfe! Maybe I shouldn't say blessed because you worked really smart and hard!
Did you hear what he really said…MIT….DARPA….and the timeline. “By 1982, I was selling cards that put your PC directly on the internet”.
Always enjoy hearing from those who have done it. It's great motivation for my own side gig (which will hopefully no longer be a side gig soon). ;)
Bob is such a great guy! Use his invention every day in fact I've made a living with it. :)
What a father he had. Wow.
One guy having ups and downs and retiring as a billionaire was definitely a "sacrifice" worth paying to get ethernet out in the world.
I learnt a lot from this video. Thanks for creating the Ethernet. I’m curious who trades the financial market?
I trade the financial market. Which aspect of the financial market are you referring to?
I was contemplating between stock or crypto? How do you trade?
I trade based on the season of the market. It gives me a direction on implementing the right strategies for long or short term. I also trade based on the volatility of the market. Although it wasn’t easy till I came across a mentor who helped to keep me in the market loop. My mentor is Bernard Paul.
I’m also conversant with Paul. I’ve learnt invaluable insights from Paul, who generously shares his knowledge and experience to help beginners navigate the complexities of the market
I appreciate Paul’s transparency in his communication, providing clear insights that has helped me to be on the profitable side
Noah that was a very interesting and informative interview with Bob Metcalfe keep those gems coming and peace and blessings to you.
Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits, such as regularly setting aside money for sound investments...
this guy deserves a headlock for all the ethernet cables i’ve had to deal with that had a broken locking tab.
yeah that is its achilles heel, but it was cheap. And now you can get them with a sock over the tab to prevent them breaking off when you pull a cable out of a ratsnest.
I feel your pain
That’s cause you bought Rev Z.
The early versions were made of better materials.
Change your budget change your life by local, if possible
This is gold!! Thank you Noah.
Did it take everything you had to NOT ask this legend to talk about Metcalfe's law? Great interview. Thanks!
This video is beyond amazing. wealth has no shortcuts but they're ways to go about it.
"If nothing is done on your finance, Income will relatively be unchanged." Wealth is attained through Pro aid, that's why the Rich seek aid of finance Pro(s) to attain wealth but claim to attain it themselves
"Don't lay your eggs in a basket." I attained wealth by varying options with the aid of my finance pro. and so far have attained so-much in my finances. Give this a try and attain wealth

Isabelle Chloe Scott.
This was exceptional. Love these interviews Noah.
This guy is a great communicator.
Yes. This is the guy who was talking about he would like to learn sales earlier or something like that.
Great video, very insightful and moreover it just shows that anyone can become something should they pursue an idea...
What an awesome and down to earth billionaire.
Kudos to him being so grounded and humble for being where he is now.
Ask him about Origin Trail, where he's an active advisor and proponent.
This is why I listen to billionaires. I just can't engage with the normal "cooler talk". I have no interest in the latest celebrities and small talk.
When you have chaos dancing around your day job, entertainment will make sense to you.
👏👏👏👏
Absolutely right! I love hearing how humble beginnings still are there with them forever
*fist pound*. Same here. I enjoy sitting in my car at lunch studying material just like this!! My day job is something to be appreciated ... but escaped ASAP.
U sound like an INTP
Like me.

You met Metcalfe's law in person 😃
I find it cool this billionaire can sit on his hands while being interviewed. 😊

Super smart man. Totally different level than “normal”. Refreshing.
Interesting and motivating interview thanks
He’s a great story teller
This a high level brother…. Very connected and tapped in….
Outstanding interview.
I've often wondered just exactly how disconnected these people are from the working public. Good video !
Another Amazing True to life story🎉 and a rare interview with the Tech Inventor / CEO 🙌
Great conversation, thank you!
Great interview
Seems like a good dude. Happy to hear from him.
awesome video as always!
Loved the boat analogy at the end!
He’s so normal for being a massive intellect
Money doesn't corrupt people. Money is an amplifier of who you already were.
I want to know how the employees who bought stock from Bob made out...
@14:28 the problem probably wasnt in the money. The money usually only works as a catalyst. Whatever one carries around, positive or negative, it just shows up reinforced and floats to the top more easily
Long way from Lymbrook and Miller bud. Good work!
Money doesn't corrupt people. Money exposes the corruption that was always there.
"Anyone can invent something, but it takes skill to sell it."
I literally laughed my ass off and stopped the video there.
I noticed that too, surprised the gentleman there didn’t pick him up on that. Also, isn’t it polite to remove your hat indoors nowadays?
I was just connecting ethernet cables the other date and it's so hard to put them in UTP slots cause cable color scheme could be better organized for easier connection. It's been 50 years, I'm just saying, upgrade that shit bro.

i wish i had a billion i would do so many things for animals yes this would help people its needed world wide for our plannet
