Ryan Calo

I was lucky enough to meet the brilliant Ryan Calo at a Social Media Club event I took part in. We might have been trying to get Lawrence Lessig on our panel, but we got more than we could have hoped for from Lessing himself.

Ryan is an Academic Fellow, Center for Internet and Society at Stanford University, and spends time researching and sharing findings on the intersection of the law and technology, including the social web.

An in-demand speaker who’s been a featured expert  on many broadcast programs , including CNN, I am thrilled to welcome him to The A-List! Listen to the archive here:
