I’m excited about Verizon’s commitment to 5G, but I’m not sure why anyone else will be. Verizon is playing the long game. We will need 5G coverage everywhere. Think about this...

New piece addressing why money is so hard for people to discuss. It is harder for parents than discussing sex and sexuality.  In part this is because, in my view, money is a stand-in for who we are and what we value.  As such, it's meaning is vastly more than  dollars and cents. …see more

After months of ramp-up, Apple TV+ is here. Rumor had it, months ago, that Apple could offer a bundle for its subscription services -- TV+, News, and Music -- but nothing has materialized. A new report says it may happen next year.

It's about time that disability leadership gains ground! I was drawn to the Forbes website early this morning because of an article Kris Macc about the epic fail of representation on the 100 Most Innovative Leaders list.. I get frustrated in the arena of equality because there are so many challenges far beyond our appearance, targeting gender and ethnicity. Disability support and unawareness are also imperative to innovation and growth but this area is often ignored. I was pleased, however, to find a few articles that highlighted culture and diversity in the differently abled community, including this one which encourages open dialogue to talk about otkut disabilities: "No one disability or experience is the same as another, so it makes sense that showing pride is less about posters and slogans as it is about telling your story and mentoring." https://lnkd.in/gztjCSR #diversity #inclusion #inclusionspeaker #diversitytraining #leadershipandmanagement #chantelshares …see more

Folks, yesterday saw guilty pleas of a dozen or so wealthy parents and coaches for bribery, illegal money transfers across state lines, and tax fraud among other charges. Felicity issued an apology, seemingly sincere. Here's an idea I want to refloat: When we get to the punishment phase, I want to reiterate the idea of a cy pres award. Elite colleges were harmed. True. But the whole incident shines a spotlight in inequality in education and across America. And, ironically, the bribes ostensibly went to help low income kids. Yup, that's the tax fraud part. So have those pleading guilty do just that: donate to a cy pres fund that benefits low income kids and the non-elite small colleges that serve them. Redistribute the cy pres to colleges with more than 40% Pell eligible students and/or 50% first gen students and under 1200 students and endowments under $10 million. Then use the funds for scholarships and institution sustainability. The cy pres agreement would be part of a court ordered settlement and the distribution could be decided by a cy pres committee or designated court appointed official. Make lemonade out of lemons. Force these parents to do what they actually said: give to help low income students. Do good from bad. …see more

the startup/incumbent divide in financial services (whether the startup side is defined as fintech or defi or crypto) is an identity war. one side defines itself affirmatively as centralized, protective of users, benevolent, secure, orderly (amongst other things) the other defines itself affirmatively as insurgent, edgy, innovative, user centric (amongst other things) each side defines the other by the attributes it abhors: - not innovative, takes advantage of users, not secure, too expensive, bad for the system, doomed to fail each side secretly wants to acquire the positive attributes of the other. ultimately, as with many identity wars, each side’s minimalists will cross pollinate to create something new, while each side’s maximalists will further polarize. #digital #innovation #fintech #financialservices #defi #identity #strategy …see more
