On June 13th, I gave the keynote at [TechCocktail Week in Las Vegas, NV](https://tech.co/event/tech-cocktail-week-sessions-speaker-series-downtown-vegas-june-2013?ref=philsimon.com). Afterward, I gave a five-minute interview in which I talk a bit about writing, my books, whether it's better to work for a small company, and other topics.
