Thursday, February 18, 2010 at 08:00PM What should Jason do for the 50th episode?
The title says it all; we want to make the 50th episode special, for one we are taking the show on the road to San Francisco the epicenter for tech startups and plan on having a venue that can hold a large number of people. In the past while on the road normal segments like “Ask Jason” and “Shark Tank” have proved difficult. So we have been throwing around a couple ideas:
All of these we have been throwing around but we would like to hear your ideas and don’t be afraid to think outside the box. Please add your ideas to the comments.
- Have a mega guest, interview and live Q&A (who do you think qualifies as a mega guest?)
- Have a round table of past epic show guests (who would you include as the 5-6 epic guests?)
- Have a Bonus (show) after hours poker game with guests chatting about tech news and how it fits in with business. (Would head-to-head play between different guest be interesting and have Jason bouncing around chatting between tables or would a table full of different guest be fun?)
All of these we have been throwing around but we would like to hear your ideas and don’t be afraid to think outside the box. Please add your ideas to the comments.

Mr Calacanis,
Guests are great. Whoever you get I'm sure will be great. What I would like to see (maybe not the 50th, but some future show) is a show dedicated to:
1) I was in the shower and "BAM!" - I got my idea.
====ALL IN BETWEEN STEPS======
Last Step) Presenting business plan and beta/demo product to Angel investors.
I realize this could be 5 shows, or a book, either way I am in.
For me personally (and I realize you have a large sophisticated audience) I'd like to see this whole thing from the perspective of essentially having nothing with respect to cash on hand.
I feel like I have my idea, I have figured out my basic model with viable revenue streams, but now I need a website with a very complex backend that is completely scalable should I be succesful.
To get to the next step do you attempt to get a beta site built or do you just build mockups for a presentation? Is the answer as easy as looking at my bank account and doing what I can afford now? Is step one raising funds for my idea, getting it to beta stage and then going for round 2?
As you said very recently - good ideas get funded very quickly.
Anyway I'm sure you get the picture of where I feel myself and others could use support.
Sincerely,
Jude
