Walter Isaacson

With his southern drawl and laid-back demeanor, you would never know what a renaissance man Walter Isaacson is: Best-selling biographer of icons like Einstein, DaVinci, Kissinger and Steve Jobs, former editor of Time Magazine, former CEO of CNN and professor at Tulane University are just some of his accolades. He is on the podcast circuit as he discusses his newest book The Code Breaker starring Jennifer Doudna who helped develop gene-editing technology and CRISPR. I liked his interview with Dax Shepard on Armchair Expert as they cover a lot of territory including the fact that Walter lives on Royal St. in the heart of the French Quarter. I guess drunks and noise don’t bother him.
