As we were sat drinking awful Redbush tea this afternoon we got to talking about where the industry is going to lead us next in the whole increasing wheels size market. Then we remembered that this guy, in a fit of apocalyptic prophecy way back in 2010 pretty much set the bar as high as it could ever go.

And that, right there , is our entire justification for turning a 5 year old Youtube clip into an afternoon story for you – enjoy!

What Mark doesn’t know about social media isn’t worth knowing and his ability to balance “The Stack” is bested only by his agility on a snowboard. Graphs are what gets his engine revving, at least they would if his car wasn’t electric, and data is what you’ll find him poring over in the office. Mark enjoys good whisky, sci-fi and the latest Apple gadget, he is also the best boss in the world (Yes, he is paying me to write this).
