    These "Peer-to-Peer Conversations" / interviews are consistently top class. I greatly enjoy watching them. And I learn a lot. Specially from this interview. New to me. Quick paced conversation. Inspiring guest. Both interviewer and interviewee are good role models. Good balance of content, mutual respect, and humility. Thanks posting and sharing. Please keep them coming : )

      @Michael Hinton His name sounds Indian so its likely that he isn't American ( like me ) and hence he might not know this gentlemen being interviewed.

    I find the David Rubenstein Show to be a great and informative show. He has great guests and great interviews. I am very happy for Robert F. Smith and the success and good works he has been able to do. I wish his shows were translated (subbed/dubbed) -- the content is globally relevant. It is amazingly educational, informational, and at times inspirational.

Ken Chenault, Stan O'Neil, John Utendahl, etc. It shows that yes hard work can pay off, but access to power is the lifter and enabler of his kind of story. Much respect to Robert Smith. Doing so many awesome things in various communities.
