Patreon CEO Jack Conte Wants You to Get Off of Your Phone

Before we really enter it, we always start with a bit of interrogation, some warm-up, some warm-up. Jack, what is the most active text thread you are?

I am not on any active text thread. I try to do as low as possible.

Okay, we can come back later. Algorithms do you know about you?

The way is too much.

Oh yes, I know the feeling.

It knows that I have recently received a new dog.

What kind of dog?

He is a mustache. He is somewhat gold recovery, some chihuhua, some pit bulls. He is the most beautiful animal in the world.

I also have a pit bull. Are you getting ads for dog food now?

Yes

I got it. What is the technology to change your life?

DAWS, Digital Audio Workstation. Recording gear is the most beautiful, great thing in the world to make an album to be able to create an album on your laptop.

What is your favorite way to spend Saturday in the Gulf? I have to ask, you are from here and of course we’re here.

Sorry to bring the dog twice in front, but he simply learned that he could run straight to the sea. And it’s so great. I love it And so I put the sticks for him in the sea. He bolts in the sea, completely fearlessly swim around, looking for it. The best thing in the world.

Which music app do you use the most?

Spotify.

Let us give our audience a few days in your backstory, if they don’t have it. So you were born here in San Francisco and grew up and the music was always in your life. If you have studied music at Stanford, you founded Patrion with your old college roommate in 2013 and it was in response to personal experience, isn’t it?
