Wells Fargo is cutting 27,000 jobs by 2021. The bank cited changing customer preferences, including the "adoption of digital self-service capabilities" as "a key reason".

Dealing with kids is one of the hardest jobs in the world. It is outrageous that we shaft our teachers so hard. We should celebrate and reward their generosity to educate + deal with 25 of our children all day. Higher pay is even proven to help outcomes. …see more

It is hard to imagine an AI News Anchor would be smooth, until you watch this. AI is much more capable than we think with exponential growth. This is happening now.

Journalism is fragmenting as ad revenue diminishes local press is particularly hard-hit. I’m for public subsidies and investment in journalism for the 21st century as a public good. Journalism and information are vital to a democracy.

Most founders I have interviewed have a deep passion and purpose. And they do whatever it takes because they feel a personal sense of urgency. It’s their mission. ⠀⠀ Healthy or not, it consumes them. ⠀⠀ Following a debate on Twitter, I wrote about what it takes to be successful. What’s your view? https://lnkd.in/gWvdk2z #founder #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #femalefounders …see more

Empathy in founders is a highly underrated skill. And yet the best founders I have interviewed are deeply empathetic, often because they have had to overcome their own adversity. One such founder is the brilliant founder David Rogier of MasterClass who I had the pleasure of interviewing earlier this year. He said in his interview: “I stutter. When I was a kid, it was bad. I was teased in school about it. My family refused to let me use it as an excuse. One day I decided to tell my grandfather that I stuttered and was being teased in school for it. He gave me a hug and said — “So? You going to let that stop you?” In his eyes, if you weren’t in Auschwitz… you’re OK. My parents would not let me use my stutter as an excuse to temper my curiosity (to not ask questions). They always expected my brother and I, from a very early age, to participate in dinner conversations with their friends. They were incredibly loving and determined for my brother and I to achieve whatever we wanted.” https://lnkd.in/em3TwNg #founders #startup #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #innovation #tech …see more

“Entrepreneurs won’t give up on their dreams.” Efua Akumanyi - founder and CTO of Furnishful At the beginning of lockdown, I decided to reach out to some founders across the world to find out what life in lockdown has been for them.

Here is my interview with Efua onlife in lockdown, how she stays productive and what opportunities she thinks will lie ahead. https://lnkd.in/dx2nZ62 #founder #tech #entrepreneur #beyondwork #productivity …see more

What fascinates me is that most (if not all) reporting about this ruling is focused on Google’s win or the EU’s loss. This is truly a mistake. Big tech is, by definition, global. From an internet point of view, there is no such thing as the EU or America or any country; there is simply the internet and the users (people and machines) that use it. Think about this... …see more
