Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins talked with Recode's Kara Swisher at the 2016 Code Conference about how he's trying to evolve Cisco beyond its hardware roots to a business driven by software and online services. Here's the full video of the interview.
And via our podcast Recode Replay, here is the full audio of Bezos's appearance:
No one company can do everything, Robbins said, which is why he has partnered with and invested in many other tech companies and startups. Perhaps the best-known of those partners: Apple.
Robbins also discussed the Internet of Things and what he thinks of hot enterprise startups that compete with Cisco, such as Slack.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
