Guest: Andrea Girlanda. According to a Harvard publication, as much as the number of people with autism entering the workforce in the next 10 years is on the rise, currently, the unemployment rate among people with autism is over 80%. The number of companies involved in neurodiversity hiring initiatives is modest today, as is the number of participating workers. How can companies without the resources for dedicated programs make real progress in bringing neurodivergent employees into their organizations? What are the main challenges? To talk about that, we have Andrea Girlanda. Andrea has 20 years' experience working for global technology and media companies serving in both technical and commercial roles. He worked with TV networks, publishers, global media agencies and global advertisers until 2019 when he joined Auticon UK as its CEO, to oversee business development and introduce purpose in his professional life. Auticon is an international social enterprise and B2B tech company providing IT consulting services and employing exclusively professional consultants on the autism spectrum.

This is a different episode from what you’re used to. It’s March 2022 – with all the technologies, innovations, knowledge we’ve been sharing with you, seeing the decision of physically invading another country to fight for power, by killing people, by killing children – it’s at the very least, outrageous. As questioned by Yuval Noah Harari on this beautiful piece published by The Economist - is change possible? Can humans change the way they behave, or does history repeat itself endlessly, with humans forever condemned to re-enact past tragedies without changing anything except the décor? This is not about Ukraine x Russia. It’s about the future of humanity. For us, at Future Hacker, it’s just too hard to simply stay as observers while we watch this movement, which we believe no rationale could ever justify, and that goes completely against our main motivations which are discussing conscience expansion, inclusion, sustainability and how to evolve as humans to a better future. To begin this discussion, we invited Oksana K. – so we could give you the insider’s view of a Ukrainian, still living in Ukraine, and could give us some great perspectives about what’s going on, the challenges, and how each one of us could do our part.
