This week on the GeekWire Podcast: In light of his estate’s launch of the new $3.1 billion Fund for Science and Technology, we revisit a classic 2011 interview with the late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen to explore the “Idea Man” mindset that continues to shape his legacy.

The conversation reveals the personal motivations behind his “big bet” philanthropy, his candid thoughts on his partnership with Bill Gates, and his passion for everything from brain science to jamming with rock stars.
