Tech San Diego Presents

Welcome to another TIMLEY episode of Tech San Diego's Spotlight podcast! In this episode, we dive into the crucial topic of technology investing bias and its specific impact on tech workers managing their own stock investments. As technology workers, we are often at the forefront of innovation and investment opportunities. However, it's essential to be aware of the biases that can influence our investment decisions. These biases can skew our perceptions and lead to suboptimal investment choices, affecting our financial well-being and career growth.  For more information about Tech San Diego visit www.techsd.org  For more information about Tidemark and Jared Redfield visit https://tidemarkfp.com/team/ or follow Jared on LInkedin here https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaredredfield/

What do Ryan Reynolds, Blues Clues, and Sustainable Shipping have in common- well, not much until 2022, when Maximum Effort and Flock Freight launched a tongue-in-cheek ad campaign to talk about what they are doing- and using our old friend Steve Burns from Blues Clues to do it. So, pull up your thinking chair, and grab your handy dandy notebook, cause we are talking with Bob Wolfley, Director of Social Media and Partnerships at Flock about how this campaign came about! Founded in 2015, Flock Freight roared onto the tech startup scene in 2021 winning Start Up San Diego's Startup of the Year award, CNBC's top 50 disruptors award, and a host of supply chain awards. Headquartered in Encinitas, Flock Freight is looking for brand awareness and a way to improve the freight industry- their software pools freight in the most efficient way possible, helping carriers keep their trucks full.
