"I grew up on Marvel comics. Star Trek: The Next Generation was when I really got into Star Trek and it is true that one reason I’m here today is that geeks and science fiction fans understand what the future can look like and that a better future is possible if we just push in that direction."

"Thurner, 63, was laid off in 2008 as director of tech at Belmont Hill School, has worked for Lyft/Uber, and worked for a short time loading carts at Costco," We have experienced high skill workers surviving on jobs that are "supposed" to be stepping stones to better opportunities. Do not be misled by labor stats. Millions have left the workforce and are on disability. 44% of recent grads are underemployed. Over 94% of jobs added since 2005 have been temp/1099. This is not normal. …see more

Financial insecurity is the new normal where people are working more than one job to make ends meet. 59% of Americans can't pay an unexpected $500 bill and most are living paycheck-to-paycheck. This economy is not working for people. Young adults know this better than anyone. …see more

Focusing on only one strategic marketing initiative, like social media, is like trying to bottle up the ocean. #marketing #digitalmarketing #socialmediastrategy #websiteoptimization #searchenginemarketing #searchengineoptimization …see more

If this research and learning-oriented mindset was applied to femtech by the venture community, startups revolutionizing women’s health would finally get fair access to the capital needed to scale these technologies and solutions.” #venturecapital #FemTech #SheVC …see more
