Bio for Paul Hochman - America’s Technology Reporter

Connect with Paul Hochman: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulhochman

As the Gear and Technology Editor for the NBC TODAY Show, Mr. Hochman has spent over 10 years mingling with TV hosts who wonder how he got on the set.

Matt Lauer still pretends not to know him when he sees him in the Green Room at 30 Rock. Al Roker will now appear in public with Mr. Hochman only when he's wearing a fur hat or juggling oranges.

And Bill Gates? Hochman's exclusive Today Show interview with Gates about a then-breakthrough Microsoft technology likely got Gates's entire security staff fired.

During Mr. Hochman's time with the TODAY Show, he has covered Olympic gear and technology at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games, the 2004 Athens Summer Olympics, the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino; and the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver.

He was also the technology and culture reporter for Versus TV and the Tour de France; the host of an online technology talk show on MSN called "Playit4Ward" and has been a longtime technology contributor for CNBC and MSNBC.

Mr. Hochman atoned for his life in morning TV by becoming a journalist. He was a Contributing Writer for Fast Company Magazine, focusing on technology and design; his article about 'sexy prosthetics' was called a "Must Read" by the editorial staff of The New York Times.

Mr. Hochman was also a founding writer for The New York Times's sports-focused Sunday Magazine, called PLAY; wrote for FORTUNE Magazine; and has been a contributing editor for SKI Magazine. For 10 years, he was that magazine's Ski Test Director, directing the testing of all new gear. He was nominated for an Olympic Media Award for his work with The Wall Street Journal.

Finally, Mr. Hochman is an accomplished athlete. He has a black belt in the Uechi-Ryu style of Karate and was member of the Dartmouth Men's Alpine Ski Team. He speaks French and Italian, graduated cum Laude from Dartmouth College, and has 4 children. He is married to an Olympian, Carrie Sheinberg, who skis faster than he ever will.

Team Rubicon and Veterans Empowerment Organization on Georgia Business Radio

Joe Messere

Deputy Director, Southeast at Team Rubicon

Team Rubicon USA

NonProfit Executive, Veteran, Entrepreneur. Making a difference in people's lives every day through disaster response and veteran reintegration.   Team Rubicon unites the skills and experiences of military veterans with first responders to rapidly deploy emergency response teams.

Team Rubicon’s primary mission is providing disaster relief to those affected by natural disasters, be they domestic or international. By pairing the skills and experiences of military veterans with first responders, medical professionals, and technology solutions, Team Rubicon aims to provide the greatest service and impact possible.

Through continued service, Team Rubicon seeks to provide our veterans with three things they lose after leaving the military: a purpose, gained through disaster relief; community, built by serving with others; and identity, from recognizing the impact one individual can make. Coupled with leadership development and other opportunities, Team Rubicon looks to help veterans transition from military to civilian life.

Serving the Under-served Across the world, disasters are a part of life. No corner of the globe is spared from severe weather – be it crippling winter storms, catastrophic hurricanes, or unchecked wildfires. By focusing on under-served or economically-challenged communities, Team Rubicon seeks to makes the largest impact possible. Disasters represent a massive financial cost, and by providing immediate relief work, free of cost, TR aims to help communities begin recovery sooner.

Topics to Discuss: 

Veterans Day

For many men and women of our Armed Forces, the desire to serve their country and fellow man does not diminish once they take off the uniform.

Continued service helps us build stronger communities and supports transitioning veterans.

Michael J. Coles: Cookies, Coffee and Kennesaw on Capital Club Radio

Please join Michael Flock of FLOCK Specialty Finance as he interviews Michael J. Coles, Atlanta business executive, serial entrepreneur, education advocate, well-known public speaker, the namesake of the Coles College of Business at Kennesaw State University and author of Time to Get Tough: How Cookies, Coffee and a Crash Led to Success in Business and Life. His book explains how he started a $100 million company with only $8,000, overcame a near-fatal motorcycle accident, set three transcontinental cycling world records and ran for Congress twice.

Prior to writing his book, Michael was the Chairman of the Board for BrandBank and for Brand Group Holdings, Inc. Additionally, he was the former CEO of Caribou Coffee from 2003-2012 and co-founder of the Great American Cookie Company in 1977.

Moreover, he was in the clothing industry for over 19 years and launched two clothing businesses. Michael has been a highly engaged philanthropist with organizations such as Hillels of Georgia, the Georgia Film Commission, the University System of Georgia Board of Regents, the Kennesaw State University Foundation Board and the Walker School Board. He and his wife, Donna, have also supported the American Lung Association, Georgia Special Olympics, Scottish Rite Children’s Medical Center, and the March of Dimes.

He and his wife reside in Atlanta and Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Here is a glimpse of what Michael shared in the interview.

“…it doesn’t matter how many thousands of miles you ride, it doesn’t matter how many weeks, or months, or even years you might put into something, it’s the last five miles that count.”

“So, I’ve always believed that the difference between success and failure is how you’re prepared…How you deal with the unexpected.”

“Information, innovation…implementation, and then the last one, the most important one is improvement.”
