John Furrier has the transcript of a Calacanis podcast chutzpah-fest at RWW. He's a blood-thirsty samurai, so he says. "I always look at entrepreneurs as samurai. It’s a lonely pursuit at times and basically your life is to fight. And you get done with one fight. You clean the blood off your sword. You put it away. You walk 10 miles to another village. And then you got to clean up that village. A couple of people got to lose their arms. And then you clean the blood off your sword. You have a cup of tea and some rice. And then you walk to the next village." Really, and I thought he was the sensitive type who sulks in depression for days because he was interrupted.
