Responsibility. Today’s world has most folks talking about it as though it were something outside of themselves. Few places exemplify that more than Silicon Valley – a place where brilliant ideas from brilliant people often take on lives of their own since the creators didn’t play the tape all the way forward. What does that mean? It means the “unintended” consequences wrought by technology are still that – consequences. Enter people like Brian Solis. Someone whose career is saturated in the analysis of technology and who today focuses his efforts as a digital anthropologist helping business executives and the companies they run be responsible about what they make, how they use it and how they move in the world.

He’s an author, public speaker, former analyst and thanks to a scheduling snafu we ran out of time before we could get to the meat of the chat – talking about his life with pets. But I’ll tell you this. My dog Truman loved him. And Truman didn’t love just anyone. So there’s that.

What motivates people? Why do they do what they do? What does leadership actually mean in today’s world? Good questions, right? That’s what Cathy Brooks, thought. And it’s why she created Talk, Unleashed – a new podcast of entirely candid conversations with fascinating people doing remarkable things. This weekly podcast will feature guests from arts and entertainment to business to technology to food to activism to politics (well, we’ll see on that last one). Talk Unleashed invites these influencers to consider the things that have led to them to where they are, the lessons they’ve learned and how all those things can come together to create a better world.
