In this episode of Tech Intersect, I chat with Tim "Mr. Future of Work" Salau, the CEO & Co-Founder of Guide, the premier B2B Learning & Talent Development SaaS app helping remote teams and knowledge workers learn anytime, anywhere, on-demand.
He's an author, investor, accomplished international keynote speaker, product leader, tech influencer, and the only Nigerian-African American activist and global authority leading and shaping the discussion on the Future of Work, leadership, and innovation.
In 2017, he founded the Guide Group, a global movement of 300,000+ business leaders and professionals focused on helping every member lead a fulfilling career. Tim inspires millions of professionals and business leaders, daily, to embrace change, and thrive in the future of work.
If you’re not FIRED UP and READY TO GO after Tim’s high-energy takeover of my show then I don’t know what to tell you. He’s amazing. His energy, enthusiasm and commitment to empowerment, power and positivity is exactly what we need for such a time as this. I interviewed him the day after the 2020 U.S. presidential election and we now know that the Biden/Harris ticket won. And I am THRILLED. There’s a lot of work to be done and that includes envisioning and reimagining money, work and entrepreneurship in the fourth industrial revolution. We’re now in excellent, capable, prepared, forward-thinking hands with the 46th administration. So time to prepare for our individual and collective future … today! Let’s go. Let’s win. Like really win this time.

In this episode of Tech Intersect, I speak with Sherrell Dorsey, a data journalist, social entrepreneur, and the founder and CEO of The Plug, a distinctive, Black tech news and insights platform covering Black innovators in tech, venture capital, future of work policy, and more. Sherrell has scaled her new media startup to thousands of subscribers, hundreds of paid members and she’s raised over $500,000 in equity-free capital. Amazing.
Sherrell shares her poignant personal journey, how she’s been doing in the midst of the devastating impacts of the pandemic, and her phenomenal professional ascension … from working for designers and content marketing firms at the intersection of commerce and social media to finding her true shine in tech journalism. She’s contributed to Fast Company, The Root, Next City, and many others.
And recently, she launched a season one of The Clark Street Project, A narrative episodic podcast that details the evolution of Black business news and entrepreneurship coverage and the journalists who’ve led the charge. One of the most empowering moments to listen out for is when Sherrell reminds us that the pandemic hasn’t changed the mission for Black innovators and entrepreneurs. And she offers some strategies for not only surviving but thriving as we prepare for the fourth industrial revolution and future of work in the tech world.
If you’re listening to this on the release date, November 3rd, 2020, then I hope you’ve already voted, are on your way, or are in line and listening to pass the time. Get. Out. And. Vote. Our collective future depends on our individual participation in democracy. Let’s make anyone who’s ever been disenfranchised proud.

In this episode of Tech Intersect, I chat with Leigh Cuen is a tech reporter covering blockchain technology for publications such as Coindesk, Newsweek Japan, International Business Times and Racked. Her work has also been published by Teen Vogue, Al Jazeera English, The Jerusalem Post, Mic, and Salon.
I invited Leigh on to talk about some of the latest topics and trends she is covering in the blockchain and crypto spaces and we spent a lot of time exploring the boom of thirst traps (aka sexy selfies) and feminist GIFs because they are selling like hotcakes on non-fungible token (NFT) markets, but-of course-not everyone is thrilled about this trend.
Leigh was challenged by the topic at first but through her reporting has come to appreciate the self-actualizing creative and final power born out of this unique way of levering NFTs. This is a must-listen episode to be sure!

In this episode of Tech Intersect, I selected former guest Stephanie Morillo (Episode 5), for a Episode Spotlight because she’s doing some amazing things that I want you all to know about. Stephanie is a content strategist and technical program manager. When I interviewed her, she was just about to release her first book. Now she has two!
Stephanie is the author of the books The Developer's Guide to Content Creation and The Developer's Guide to Book Publishing and she also offers content strategy coaching for developer advocates through her DevRel CMS program.
She helps developer advocates to tackle content planning, reporting, and other operational aspects of your work so you can focus on doing your job: helping other developers. She offers custom one-on-one coaching and an extensive content library. She’s amazing and she has a great twitter timeline so definitely follow her and tell her I sent you. I’ve been watching her add so much value and I know you’ll enjoy this episode. Lots of wisdom. Enjoy!

In this episode of Tech Intersect, I chat with Manasi Vora. She is the VP of Strategy and Operations at Sia where she focuses on privacy-based cloud storage products. She is also the Founder of Women in Blockchain Boston with a mission to break down barriers to entry for underrepresented group and to increase gender diversity within the blockchain industry.
Prior to joining Sia, Manasi conducted research at the MIT Media Lab's Digital Currency Initiative and was the Director of MIT Bitcoin Expo. She held multiple roles on Wall Street before falling down the proverbial Crypto rabbit hole.
Manasi reminds us that there is indeed a lane for everyone in this new digital economy. And everyone includes women and people of color and those in historically underrepresented and underestimated groups. She shares the importance of women and POC in STEM fields and in blockchain/crypto, speficially, what Sia and Skynet are and how you can get started quickly and easily, and how excited she is (and we all should be) about the future of decentralized file storage in a web 3.0 world.

In this episode of Tech Intersect, I chat with Erika Jefferson, the president and founder of black women in science and engineering BWISE, an organization focused on bridging the leadership gap for black women in STEM. She received her MBA from Georgia Tech and her BS in chemical engineering from Louisiana State University.
She has worked for top companies such as Amoco, BP, Chevron and Praxair in a myriad of leadership and executive roles ranging from sales/business development to supply chain in operation six excellence. Since creating BWISE, Erika grown the organization to over 1,200 members and six chapters (Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, DC, Houston and San Diego) around the country.
We talk about the five key areas that women must focus on to enter and excel within STEM fields. And we address challenges and opportunities in the future of work for black women and other underestimated groups because sometimes being underestimated is our greatest superpower, as Arlan Hamilton says.

In this episode, MakerDAO general counsel Brian Avello and I explore the secrets to success for future lawyers and current lawyers interested in pivoting to represent clients involved in blockchain, cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance (or “defi”). This is also an important episode for anyone who wants to better understand the legal landscape in the crypto space.
Brian explains what decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and smart contracts are and addresses the cefi vs. defi distinction. And he also shares his take on some of the most pressing legal issues in defi and crypto today and in the future, including regulation by a number of regulatory bodies like the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Commodity Futures Trade Commission (CFTC), Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
