Antonio García Martinez

Episode 030 - Antonio García Martinez Chaos Monkeys: Inside the Silicon Valley Money Machine Imagine a chimpanzee rampaging through a datacenter powering everything from Google to Facebook. Infrastructure engineers use a software version of this “chaos monkey” to test online services’ robustness—their ability to survive random failure and correct mistakes before they actually occur. Tech entrepreneurs are society’s chaos monkeys, disruptors testing and transforming every aspect of our lives, from transportation (Uber) and lodging (AirBnB) to television (Netflix) and dating (Tinder). One of Silicon Valley’s most audacious chaos monkeys is Antonio García Martínez. After stints on Wall Street and as CEO of his own startup, García Martínez joined Facebook’s nascent advertising team, turning its users’ data into profit for COO Sheryl Sandberg and chairman and CEO Mark “Zuck” Zuckerberg. Forced out in the wake of an internal product war over the future of the company’s monetization strategy, García Martínez eventually landed at rival Twitter. He also fathered two children with a woman he barely knew, committed lewd acts and brewed illegal beer on the Facebook campus (accidentally flooding Zuckerberg’s desk), lived on a sailboat, raced sport cars on the 101, and enthusiastically pursued the life of an overpaid Silicon Valley wastrel. Now, this gleeful contrarian unravels the chaotic evolution of social media and online marketing and reveals how it is invading our lives and shaping our future. Weighing in on everything from startups and credit derivatives to Big Brother and data tracking, social media monetization and digital “privacy,” García Martínez shares his scathing observations and outrageous antics, taking us on a humorous, subversive tour of the fascinatingly insular tech industry. Chaos Monkeys lays bare the hijinks, trade secrets, and power plays of the visionaries, grunts, sociopaths, opportunists, accidental tourists, and money cowboys who are revolutionizing our world. The question is, will we survive?

So, you want to get featured on a podcast.  Follow this 20 point method and you’ll slide straight through the gates.  The priority of the podcast host is their audience. If you’d like to address this audience, you’re going to have to reassure the host that you won’t jeopardise what they have worked extremely hard to create and nurture When contacting the host avoid selling yourself on how great you are. They don’t care. Tell the host why you would like to be on their show, why the audience would enjoy hearing from you, what previous episodes you have enjoyed and what you like about the hosts approach  Describe what topics you can talk on and suggest a set of questions that the host could ask you  Use a targeted approach rather than a scattergun. Emailing twenty hosts talking about yourself will get you one opportunity. Contact ten hosts using point two’s approach and you’ll see a much better return  If outsourcing this to a PR company, send them this list. This is your brand, don’t damage it with a scattergun  Be extremely flexible with your availability and confirm time zones  Do not see this as an opportunity to advertise your value proposition, you are on the show to discuss a topic that the audience is interested in  Look to add value. Leave the audience with some key takeaways and something they can implement following the episode  Ask the host if it’s OK at the end of the interview to share information about your product/service/book/course etc. Twenty-eight minutes of great content and two minutes about you, is a fair trade off  Have fun. Think Edutainment  Ask the host if there is anything you shouldn’t say, such as cursing  Supply the host with your bio, photograph, company logo and social channels Post interview, thank the host and ask “Is there anything I can help you with?”   Suggest guests that may also be a fit and if possible, help to connect them  Review the show on the various podcast players and share the episode via your social media channels  Continue to look out for your hosts content and support via social media.
