Tech Society

What does it take for a modern-day entrepreneur to succeed?
 
Why do success stories seem fewer and farther between?

This week on Tech Society Alex and John from Ninja Software welcome David Sax to shed some light on these questions and to talk about his latest book, 'The Soul of an Entrepreneur'. David is an incredibly talented author, reporter, and speaker who has written for the likes of Vanity Fair, The New York Times and Monocle.

Join the discussion and discover exactly what it means to be an entrepreneur, the broader statistics on other ventures beyond Silicon Valley type start-ups with other people’s money.

Alex and John from Ninja Software gain illuminating insights from Ewan McIntosh, Founder of NoTosh, the no-nonsense consultancy that makes accessible the creative process required to innovate traditional, outdated education systems.

His methodology in Design Thinking cuts through to what really mattered - the experience of the parents, the students and the teachers.

Coming from a background of helping tech startups, Ewan incorporated the same agile approach to education: co-designing, collaborating, amplifying and accelerating impactful changes to offer students alternative pathways towards their future careers.

Say what you will about Trump, he has made politics interesting. With unprecedented numbers of early and postal votes, and massive media coverage, it's hard to keep up to date with the current (and real) information out there surrounding the upcoming US election.

This week on Tech Society, Alex and John from Ninja Software speak with Dr Keith Suter. Keith is considered to be one of Australian’s most influential Global Futurists and Media Commentators in national and foreign affairs and helps to explain the political landscape unfolding right now in America.

With record numbers of voters, record numbers of bullets sold and a never before seen interest in the election, what exactly can we expect to see as a result of the outcome? How did the US get to this point?.... And what can be learnt in the years to come regarding one of the most primitive processes in the Western world regarding democracy and elections still taking place today in America?

Join the discussion and be informed.
This week, on Tech Society.
