Ryan Taylor from Havoc Inspired does a fun video series called Please start from the beginning in which he interviews web industry professionals, focussing mostly on the history of their career.  Ryan interviewed me the other day.  In keeping with the theme, we took a stroll down memory lane.  Enjoy…

Please start from the beginning with Rick Ellis

Thanks Rick, very nice.

Very interesting. Definitely feeling very inquisitive now about what the other products you’re “not at liberty to talk about yet” are

Definitely a great video to watch though.

Best wishes,

Mark

Rick is alive! - Thought he vanished - Good to know :-)

Edit-Add: Good interview Rick!

Actually after watching the whole of the video and looking back my life seems to mirror yours in a lot of ways what with audio and the likes. I got in with music and computer systems just as they were being introduced and did the whole same sort of things you’ve done too.

The only thing I don’t have yet is an absolutely fantastic web publishing system. Hmm, may have to work on that one a bit methinks!!

That was pretty cool.  I found it funny that I’m trying to do the reverse: I’m a web guy trying to get more into the audio world of things.

What?  I thought your greatest accomplishment was when I taught you The Unblockable Move®!?

Seriously though, history is the greatest teacher, and our captain’s history is a solid predictor of our future.  I’m honored every day to be able to work here.
