- mikesabat 10y agoI believe he tells the story in this podcast. A professor put the P in front of his email address to avoid unwanted emails. Possibly the P stood for private. This P became an inside joke among friends or coworkers, and this is a continuation of that joke.
- DeBraid 10y agoI just finished the pod, it is the LAST story they tell (at 1:10 mark). http://fourhourworkweek.com/2016/05/29/marc-andreessen/ http://fourhourworkweek.com/2016/05/29/marc-andreessen/ Marc had an old boss "that was so important" he used 2 emails. One for the whole company, another for private emails... haha.
