Nicole Hollingsworth, EdD, MCHES 's blogpost for The Aspen Institute is a counterpoint to Maria Valenzuela's. As a #healthequity researcher, Nicole relies on data and research to assert that health care for the undocumented and the uninsured exists, and that more people should be accessing it. Nicole is an Assistant Vice President, Community & Population Health for the Montefiore Health System and Assistant Professor, Epidemiology and Population Health, at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY. The #AspenInstitute 's #HealthyCommunities Fellowship is producing some talented, outspoken advocates for compelling community health issues.

‪@LMichaelMeyer & i taught the very first University of Virginia Darden School of Business #fintech class at the new Darden DC campus. in fact it was the first graduate class taught there too. we were expertly guided by Elena Loutskina , who is definitely one of the most amazing professors at Darden, and without whom this class would not have been possible. speakers from Capital One J.P. Morgan RegTechLab Route 66 Ventures, LLC , amongst others, participated and shared their views on innovation in financial services. we even had Scott C. Beardsley , dean of Darden, speak for a few minutes on the last day. Elena, Michael and I are already looking forward to teaching this fintech class next year. University of Virginia many thanks to the students who chose the class and made it a success with their excellent participation.

If you've tried to buy a house lately, you might have found yourself running up against some unexpected competition: investors. Time was, the single-family housing market was pretty much the sole province of individual owners, or maybe a few small-time partnerships. But after the housing bubble burst, big institutional investors swooped in to buy up millions of houses for pennies on the dollar. And to almost everyone's surprise, they've kept buying even as prices have rebounded. One in five starter homes sold in the U.S. last year were bought by investors. In some markets, it was closer to half. All those investors mean more competition for ordinary buyers, at a time when affordability is already a huge challenge in many cities. But it's a complicated story -- investors are also helping to rehab homes that were abandoned in the foreclosure crisis. In today's The New York Times , Conor Dougherty and I explore this trend through one home in Atlanta, which was sold three times in less than a year -- and nearly quadrupled in price.

Let’s start 2021 being provocative instead of safe with wishy-washy predictions. Let’s drop the prefixes from commerce. Then get our heads wrapped around the fact that consumers and businesses have redefined what it means to be “convenient” and recognize that innovation in the connected economy is at a pivotal fork in the road, as players confront the changes that will add momentum to the digital-first economy and some of the issues that could hold it back. …see more

When I like something I have read or heard, I ask myself why I like it. Is it because what they said ‘resonated’, made intuitive sense? Do I have confirmation bias? Or do appreciate their perspective, irrespective of whether I agree with their conclusion? Is it because the author/speaker is ‘successful’, rich, famous...for that topic? For an unrelated topic? But I had already defined the measure of my success as ‘being happy’, being able to control my time, being able to sleep well. What do I know about them being happy? Would love to hear thoughts on this - How do you define success? How do you judge the quality of what you hear/read? #askbetterquestions #sundaythoughts …see more

What gives meaning to life? Deep relationships and meaningful work? I remember my ‘mid-life crisis’ moment when I questioned the work I was doing, the life I was living, the relationships I was in. I sought answers in a lot of places, but came back to books. See article from today’s Mid-day. How about you? Would love to hear from others on this. It’s Sunday...we can take off the work mask for one day a week. I don’t know why finance, and LinkedIn to some extent, assumes we are ‘Econs’ rather than humans. …see more

In early 2010, I watched a humble, talented Engineering leader who constantly wore a warm and friendly smile receive a standing ovation from hundreds of people. The reason? He was being recognized for years of stellar contribution in Microsoft's Developer Division, and was widely regarded as Microsoft's best DevOps leader. Today, I'm proud to call that Engineer my peer and an Amazonian. Welcome Madhu Kavikondala to Amazon Alexa!! I can't wait to see you lead DevOps to new heights, and ensure our intelligent talking robots are well behaved and operationally efficient :). Congratulations!! …see more

Being Indistractable is not about never getting distracted. Everybody gets distracted from time to time. We all encounter situations that take us by surprise and steal our attention. But when the same thing continues to distract us on a regular basis, that’s when something needs to change. Becoming Indistractable, above all, is about striving to do what you say you’re going to. The idea isn’t to never get distracted. The goal is to learn from past mistakes and apply that knowledge to other aspects of your life. I recently appeared on the About Progress Podcast with Monica Packer, where we discussed the root causes of distraction, how to schedule time for your values, and how these skills are more relevant than ever.

Losing loved ones is never easy... but death is an inevitable part of life. The arrangements following a loss are demanding and plentiful which can curve your career for a short time... Take the time to step back and grieve. Here are three healthy ways to grieve... 1) Address it with management. This will allow your team to understand your need for time and space as well as bereavement options. Communication is critical should you distance yourself and need the support. 2) Dive into an interest/hobby. Arts and crafts have a therapeutic way of emotional expression and release - who knows, your creative side may be itching to be discovered! 3) Rest, but don't get stuck. Rest and relaxation are important in the grieving process... but don't let yourself get stuck there. Find support if you need it with available resources. May you take the time to celebrate a life well lived and may their spirit live on in your heart 💖 #bereavement #management …see more
