Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll, and Not Quite the End of the Story

I was going to end this series with sex, drugs, Rock & Roll, and maybe even time it for the 50thanniversary of Woodstock. But, when you do a series, even though you plan it out at the beginning, other people keep discovering new and notable enhancements, and then you want to keep going. I’m going […]

The Future of Work: Fact or Fantasy?

If you’re starting here, you might want to roll back a couple of episodes for the full context, but all my thinking about how the Internet of Things, the Future of Work, and Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll all interrelate started with a DisrupTV guest spot, during which hosts Ray Wang and Vala Afshar […]

Especially when they are on opposite […]

Five Life Lessons from Woodstock 1969

I’m not admitting to actually being alive in 1969, or if I was, old enough to get there, or do anything that might or might not have been legal then. Right?
