Spark Series Episode 3: Open

image Once again, my friend and fellow ANGLEr Michael Sean Wright has hit it out of the park with a stellar mini-documentary in his Spark Series, this one entitled “Open.” Michael and co-documentarian Marc Ostrick this time followed for a day the goings of of Leo Laporte with a focus on his positions on Network Neutrality.

Leo Laporte has carved out a nearly idyllic existence here in the land beyond Silicon Valley. He launched his own network and streams over a dozen “Netcasts” each week, live from the TWiT Cottage. Surrounded by the latest in tech, a superb staff, and the support of thousands of devoted geeks, Laporte is proving that you can build community from nearly anyplace.

He is more than capable of generating capital with revenues currently north of 1.5 million – that number has been doubling annually, and will likely continue to increase. Advertisers are finding that Laporte’s audience is far more engaged than the audience of traditional, main stream media. One reason for his success is that Leo has consistently focused on the humanity of technology. He believes that tech should move us forward, empower bold ideas, and be accessible by all.

It’s definitely worth watching – take a gander, and read on for my thoughts.
