I had the honor of interviewing Dr. Jason Frand, THE personal knowledge management (PKM) pioneer.

In 1999, Dr. Jason Frand and Carol Hixon wrote the revolutionary paper ‘Personal Knowledge Management: Who, What, Why, When, Where, How?’This article coined the term PKM and changed its trajectory forever.

In this interview, we discussed:

  • Where the idea for PKM came from
  • How PKM compares to travel agents
  • Why knowledge is our most precious resource
  • The best structure for organizing information
  • And much more…

As far as I know, it’s the only interview with him on the subject. Listen to the full interview on YouTube.
