The nostalgic charm of simpler times in educational fundraising comes alive as we reminisce. I fondly recall the days when selling chocolate bars door-to-door was more than just a fundraising activity; it was an exercise in community spirit. It was also a time of innocent mischief - I remember sneakily eating half of the chocolate bars, much to my parents' chagrin, who then had to cover the cost. These activities were the cornerstones of our fundraising endeavors, creating enduring connections and shared experiences. Fast forward to today, and we find ourselves amidst a transformative wave sweeping across the landscape of educational fundraising. Moving away from these traditional, tangible efforts, we are ushering in a new era marked by the allure of technology and innovation. This evolution paints a vivid picture of educational institutions stepping into a new realm, where digital prowess becomes key to their financial vitality. Imagine a world where the quaint charm of these bygone campaigns gives way to the dynamic pulse of the digital age. Here, schools are not just adapting; they are reinventing the very essence of fundraising. They weave technology into their narrative, turning each campaign into a network of global connections and digital sophistication. This metamorphosis is not just about keeping pace with the times; it's a bold statement about the importance of a stable and robust financial backbone, critical to enriching the educational journey for each student. Within the pages of this article lies a journey through this evolving terrain. It's a story about how technology is not just changing but also enriching the world of fundraising. From unlocking doors to global communities to nurturing a spirit of connectedness, this narrative explores how schools are charting a course towards a future where financial resilience is seamlessly interwoven with educational excellence. Goodbye chocolate bars, hello hashtags! Dive into how tech is turning school fundraising on its digital head. The Digital Renaissance in Fundraising The digital age has instigated a transformative shift in fundraising, steering initiatives away from conventional methods toward innovative, tech-driven strategies. Traditional approaches like door-to-door sales are being phased out, allowing for a new era where the internet, social media, and various tech tools take center stage. This digital renaissance marks a departure from the familiar, embracing a landscape where the power of technology amplifies the reach and impact of fundraising campaigns. In this evolution, educational institutions are leveraging the dynamic capabilities of the digital realm to engage supporters globally and reimagine the art of fundraising. Unlocking Global Reach with Online Platforms In today's fundraising landscape, educational institutions are embracing online platforms to expand their reach far beyond traditional geographical limits. This shift represents a significant change in strategy, allowing schools to connect with supporters and donors from all corners of the globe. These online platforms enable schools to engage with a wide and diverse audience, breaking free from the constraints of regional boundaries. This global outreach ensures that fundraising campaigns resonate with people from varied backgrounds, fostering a sense of worldwide community support. A key component of this approach is the use of engaging websites, crowdfunding platforms, and targeted social media campaigns. These tools are highly effective for showcasing educational initiatives in a visually appealing and accessible manner. They allow potential donors to easily understand and connect with the causes they care about. This digital exhibition of projects transcends physical boundaries, inviting a broad audience to explore and contribute to impactful educational efforts.

Remarkable improvements in artificial intelligence are forcing us to reassess our government, our economy, and ourselves. Boosters see an opportunity to empower individual creators and circumvent sclerotic industry gatekeepers. Many creators are already using AI to hone their craft, test new concepts, and reach new audiences. But skeptics see another possibility: that AI will stifle creativity by strengthening the most powerful corporations. Artists' work is being used without license to teach AI models. AI platforms have produced works inspired by human creators without attribution. And as the recent writers strike shows, many fear that media companies will use AI to replace human creators altogether.How can we channel AI so that it strengthens individual agency? What are potential artistic and public interest applications of AI, and what policies and incentives do we need to make those applications succeed? In this bonus episode, Laurent Crenshaw (Patreon, FAI board of directors), Sy Damle (Latham & Watkins, fmr. general counsel for the U.S. Copyright Office, Ashkhen Kazaryan (Stand Together), and Patrick Blumenthal (New Frontier Ventures) discuss AI's implications for creators, art, and innovation live from Washington, D.C.

Always forward-thinking, the studio leverages AI in post-production to benefit projects. Lucien is a VFX-supervisor for 2D/3D animation, design, and experiential projects. But he's not just about work; he's a man of diverse experiences. An avid sailor, Lucien enjoys racing and family overnights on Chesapeake Bay or Hudson River. He's a pilot, a DJ, and in the '80s, taught himself to solve the Rubik's Cube. His life has been a tapestry of unique experiences: from summers in nudist communities to living in a Tennessee school bus, and an Amsterdam houseboat. He's led a blind runner through two marathons, volunteered at Ground Zero, and enjoys Burning Man. He's raced classic sports cars, survived high-speed motorcycle crashes, and enjoys longboarding in NYC with his boys and night SCUBA diving with sharks.

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Andrea Polio about his research on Chinese technology companies in Nairobi, Kenya, and how African cities have emerged as proxy arenas where different modes of international relations are given effect through the development of infrastructure. He discusses how African cities are crucial actors and sites of the geopolitics of digital infrastructure, which will increasingly be one of the key geopolitical arenas of the 21st century as the US, China, and the EU compete for global influence with new programs of development finance. In a related paper, Dr. Pollio argues that urban areas are already beholden to competition between different state actors and units of capital for infrastructure networks in the global south. In this context, Africa's fast-growing metropolises have emerged as testbeds of shifts in the geopolitics of information towards multipolar magnets of power. Dr. Andrea Pollio is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow jointly at the Department of Urban and Regional Studies of the Polytechnic of Turin and at the African Centre for Cities of the University of Cape Town, where his research addresses the impact of private Chinese technology companies in Nairobi's Silicon Savannah. His broader work explores the interface between technology economies, development, and urbanization in Africa. He has also studied the impact of private Chinese capital on two East-African cities (Addis Ababa and Nairobi) that have emerged as key destinations for the urbanization of Chinese investments in the continent.

Special Guests: Paul Miller and Shimrit James: Co-Authors of Nature of Work Your organisation is alive. It's a living, breathing, adaptive, regenerative system. But for decades, maybe even centuries, organisations have been treated as though they are machines. From that mechanistic mindset, engaging employees will fail, time and again. Seen simply as ‘human resources', addressing emergent threats and opportunities such as ‘The Great Resignation', hybrid working and employee wellbeing will be an uphill struggle. Approaching these from a living systems mindset, however, means leaders can draw inspiration from and alignment with nature around areas such as purpose, biodiversity, relationships, migration and health. Paul Miller is a technology and social entrepreneur. He is CEO and Founder of Digital Workplace Group (DWG), rated by the Financial Times in 2020 as one of the UK's leading management consultancies in digital transformation. His previous books include The Digital Renaissance of Work: Delivering digital workplaces fit for the future (co-authored with Elizabeth Marsh), which was shortlisted for the Management Book of the Year 2016 Award, and The Digital Workplace: How technology is liberating work. Shimrit Janes is Director of Knowledge for DWG, focused on curating knowledge on the digital workplace for its members and clients such as Adobe, The Coca-Cola Company, Ubisoft and UNHCR. She has worked with Paul and DWG colleagues on various initiatives, such as Digital Nations Group, as well as co-hosting the 24-hour global digital experience DWG24. Join us as we discuss how people within an organisational ecosystem can be nurtured to thrive by learning from nature's patterns. Listen Live (Archive Available) Host: Andy Goram

On this episode of Untold Stories, my friend Jamil Hasan, currently the program director of the “Crypto Corner,” a weekend podcast series hosted by Irish Tech News, turns the spotlight on me. A few of the conversation topics discussed in the interview included: how I got into Bitcoin and Crypto, Bitcoin's role on the macro-landscape, how to level up your life, disruptive technologies and much more. We begin our conversation by discussing the early days of Bitcoin and how my team and I bootstrapped BitInstant, the first venture-backed Bitcoin company. We also touch on how the Bitcoin industry changed dramatically over a small period of time and how the Bitcoin community has changed over time. Our conversation transitions to War Games and Bitcoin's role in the macro politico-economic landscape. We discuss the degradation of the dollar as the global reserve currency and the possibility of the escalated conflicts in the age of information. A very interesting topic of discussion was the impact of global conflict on financial equilibrium and Bitcoin. Our conversation transitions to the topic of disruptive technologies. We discuss the impact of the print press on literacy rates and the democratization of knowledge and information. A very interesting talking point was how the feudal power structure of the past attempted to stifle the dissemination of information by imprisoning people who used the printing press to share information to the general population. We finish our incredible conversation by discussing how anyone can take advantage of the Digital Renaissance. I give advice to anyone who is interested in leveling up their life should consider becoming a domain expert in any of the sub categories of the crypto industry.

Episode 3: Monty Preston, Manager of Art Advisory & Curation at Saatchi Art, joins us to explain what NFT's are and how we as emerging artists can benefit from blockchain technology. Isotta asks Monty to clear up the common misconceptions around NFT's and clarify how they can generate income for artists. Part 1 of their conversation covers the popular topic of curation in the NFT space and delves into the probing question: do NFT's offer opportunities for increased diversity and democratized access to the art world? The episode ends with Monty sharing her vision for the future of the art world along with an explanation of trends, emerging media models, and innovations both she and Saatchi Art are excited about.

In our discussion we cover exceptionalism and investing fundamentals, why DAO's will eat the world, the cultural significance of NFTs and the Digital Renaissance, and much more. We begin our conversation by discussing the early days of Bitcoin and marvel at how much things have in such a short amount of time. We discuss why Crypto is such a unique industry and the evolution from a nascent industry to global asset class. We continue our discussion of technological revolution and investing by discussing Vinny's unique approach to investing and how that is informed by his understanding of the world. We discuss the importance of the individual and how one person can have an asymmetric impact on society. This insight has driven Vinny to change his investing strategy from betting on the idea to betting on the person. We discuss how this mindset guided Vinny's decision to invest in Solana and Filecoin at the Seed stage. We continue our conversation by discussing what makes a person exceptional and why Vinny calls these people "species changers." We go on to discuss examples of species changers from history like Einstein, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos. We finish our discussion on game changers by discussing the importance of perseverance and grit. One of the main talking points throughout our conversation is the emergence of the metaverse in the consciousness of the general public. We discuss the metaverse, how it is all encompassing, why traditional tech companies are beginning to pivot toward the metaverse, and much more. Our conversation flows to the discussion on DAOs. We discuss the impact DAO's will have on disrupting traditional finance and Wall St, empower community building, and enhance the digital experience to heights unknown. We move from DAO's to NFTs where Vinny explains why we are still in the early days of NFTs and their importance and implications on broader society. He continues his discussion on NFTs by elaborating on his broader vision for the future of NFTs and how he believes the market dynamics. We continue our discussion by talking about how we are living through the beginning of a Digital Renaissance. We finish our discussion on NFTs by discussing the future use cases of NFTs and the integration with AR and VR. We finish our conversation by discussing the bull case for Solana, the developer battle between Solana and Ethereum, and the joy of building new technology.

Joel Gordon's experiences over a lifetime are diverse and have shaped his philosophy on education and our desire to Make. His training in electronics, coding, sculpture, and mechanics has led to an exciting career that has taken him around the world and back again.
Josh Rosenthal is a former historian and is now a partner at 6ixth Event Cataclysmic Capital. In today's episode, we take a wide lens and examine the similarities between the European Renaissance and what is happening in today's society with both the internet and blockchain technology. Will future historians call this the Crypto Renaissance? ------
Digitization is reshaping creative industries. Old gatekeepers in music, publishing, television, movies, and other industries no longer play such an important role, and digital piracy makes it easy for consumers to avoid paying companies, artists, and writers for what they produce. On the other hand, independents can now cheaply produce and distribute creative works both to niche and mass market audiences. In Digital Renaissance: What Data and Economics Tell Us about the Future of Popular Culture (Princeton UP, 2020), Economist Joel Waldfogel uses data about the quantity, quality, and mass appeal of these works to make the case that this has on balance made us all better off, resulting in a digital renaissance. In this interview, we discuss the findings in his book and how he arrives at them. I also get his perspective on some developments since his book came out, like the rise of Spotify, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and the impact of the pandemic on digitization. He also unwittingly gives me the opportunity to tell everyone with an Amazon device in the house to say “Alexa, Beethoven’s pathetic!” and enjoy the result. If you want to buy the NFT for Waldfogel’s famously Scroogey paper “The Deadweight Loss of Christmas,” he is open to bids and promises to donate the proceeds to charity, unlike Scrooge. You can also follow him on Twitter. Host Peter Lorentzen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of San Francisco, where he leads a new digital economy-focused Master's program in Applied Economics.

We made it to Episode 50! In this episode of ‘The Agency Accelerator' podcast, I am joined by the extremely talented and savvy Lee Jackson. Lee is our first-ever repeat guest, and today he will be sharing with us his insights into what he sees coming down the road in 2021. The last time we spoke, Lee joined us in Episode 10 of the podcast, where we were talking about growth and transformation. If you haven't listened to that episode, Lee helps web agencies fall back in love with their businesses, he runs ‘Agency Transformation Live', is the co-founder of Events Engine, and if that wasn't enough he is also the host of the ‘Agency Trailblazer' podcast. Time Stamp 02:00 What are the typical trends you've seen happening this year with agencies? 02:07 Most agencies have been surprised that they have been able to continue throughout 2020! 02:45 For most agencies, their clients reached out for help 03:07 Agencies helped clients move from the physical to the digital space 03:56 Some agencies thought they could hibernate and tread water, and some agencies were afraid to sell their services because they thought it was in bad taste! 04:38 Small businesses struggling to sell things online 05:32 A digital renaissance - businesses are realising that being online is imperative 06:05 Two aspects: technology and marketing 07:58 Using social media to build a new audience of consumers 08:34 People working out how to pivot 10:00 Lee's clients are events organisers - they have embraced online and created incredible digital experiences 14:32 If you can really understand what your clients what to achieve, you should be getting out there and helping them 15:25 Lee tells us more about the 2021 ‘Digital Renaissance' 16:26 Businesses will start focussing on what's important 16:40 One of Lee's agencies is going full virtual now 17:10 Lee is still concerned about the high street and thinks they might still struggle in 2021, but he thinks the high street will also change and more service-based businesses will appear 18:30 Many entrepreneurs get seduced by starting projects and not finishing them. How will agencies figure out what is important? 19:13 To start a business you need to work out your identity, then your values, the message and output. If you look at 2020, think about what your strengths, missions and passions are. Who are you helping and what are you solving? 21:37 The importance of niching 25:00 Not everyone can start an agency, there's a lot of fake competition tarnishing the industry 25:55 Marked increase in the low cost of entry in the industry 27:18 Lee, if you could go back in time and give your younger self a piece of advice, what would it be?

We ended 2020 by looking back at 2020. We start the New Year, 2021, by looking ahead and more specifically by looking ahead to what the Future of Work holds in store. We had this conversation with no less a leading expert than Paul Miller, CEO and Founder of the Digital Workplace Group (DWG), rated by the Financial Times in 2020 as one of the UK’s leading management consultancies in digital transformation. On January 14th, only a week after we drop this episode, Paul will be releasing his latest book Nature of Work: The new story of work for a living age. Co-written with his Digital Workplace Group colleague, Shimrit Janes, Director of Knowledge, the book is already receiving lots of pre-publication praise! Paul’s previous books include The Digital Renaissance of Work: Delivering digital workplaces fit for the future’ (co-authored with Elizabeth Marsh), which was shortlisted for the Management Book of the Year 2016 Award. Before that Paul’s book, ‘The Digital Workplace: How technology is liberating work’, helped popularize and explain the term “digital workplace”. Paul Miller Paul Miller is a business and social entrepreneur. Paul has given many inspirational talks on the digital future of work, for audiences at Microsoft, IKEA, Google, Accenture, Harvard Business Review, Cisco, European Commission, IMF, Adobe and Oxford University. He hosts the Digital Workplace Impact podcast. Paul hosted the pioneering internet radio show Digital Workplace Live and is Executive Producer of the 24-hour global digital experience Digital Workplace 24. Prior to founding DWG, Paul was Founder and CEO of a communications company The Empowerment Group; Publisher and Editor of social and digital innovation magazine “Wave”; and, in pre-internet days, co-founder of the Ideas Café salon. He lives in the Cotswolds in the UK and is a keen tennis player and long-time yoga practitioner. Connect with Paul on Twitter: @paulmillersays
In this episode, Michael Marchuk discusses with PhD Daniel Araya the impact of automation on our society and the changes that are necessary to embrace the innovation ahead. Much as the rise of merchant capitalism in the 14th century buoyed the Italian Renaissance, we should see the social and financial wealth generated by a data-driven economy. Here’s what we talked with Daniel about: * The role of an automated corporate entity in this new digital Renaissance * Employee skills that will be needed in the coming transition * How government plays a role in the societal changes that accompany a digital transformation * How education may change to reflect the new ways of work
The internet and social media have restructured the traditional media landscape by allowing anyone to bypass the traditional gatekeepers with a smartphone and an internet connection. In the past, you had to be chosen by media executives; now you can choose yourself and bring your creations directly to your consumers. While this has created unprecedented levels of collaboration and creativity, it has also resulted in intense competition for the attention of people - more people means saturated markets. Though the traditional gatekeepers may have lost power, new gatekeepers have taken their thrones: social media platforms. After all, notwithstanding the new perceived levels of creative potential, all creators must still go through a few platforms. In this sense, the new gatekeepers are now algorithms, determining who sees your work. Technology companies, already powerful and concentrated, have the potential for becoming even greater behemoths. In this episode, we sit down with University of Minnesota economics professor Joel Waldfogel to discuss his new book The Digital Renaissance.

This is cool industry to be in, says Jack Liu of the crypto finance company Circle: “even fintech that’s not Bitcoin or not blockchain is not cool any more”. People who once dismissed the sector as a scam or a fraud, may say they’re still not ready to use crypto, but they now recognise that “this must be the future”.Jack graduated from his Canadian university in 2010 and started working for Barclays Capital in Hong Kong. He liked wearing a suit every day and “the money was pretty good too”. But while the rest of his life was full of new technology, he says he found himself in a financial world that hadn’t changed much from the Wall Street described in Michael Lewis’ Liar’s Poker in the 1980s: “structurally, something was off in finance”. He decided to quit his job and move to Silicon Valley and “see what was going on in the fintech world”. And that’s how he discovered Bitcoin, in 2013.At the time, almost everyone in Bitcoin was from a technical, not a financial background. Jack wasn’t even sure he’d be able to get a job. But he started a blog to share his ideas about crypto. One feature of crypto compared to other Silicon Valley sectors, is that it was global from day one. Jack’s international experience led to a job as director of strategy at the crypto exchange Kraken. At the time, it wasn’t clear how you could make money in crypto. There were really only two ideas, Jack said: “there was mining and there was exchange”. Today, that’s all changed and Jack’s vision for the potential of the sector has increased dramatically: “money is just a representation of value”. Once you have money that can move instantly across borders and be transferred using microtransactions, “that can underpin an entirely different economic structure for all of humanity”. And it’s not just the practicalities: Jack believes that the crypto revolution will be so profound that it will “improve the quality of living for every single person on the planet. It will do that even for people who don’t even know what Bitcoin is and will never own a Bitcoin.”But how? Well, it would do that by allowing everyone to fulfill their potential by reducing the risks associated with pursuing the brilliant ideas that we all have, but mostly leave unexploited. Instead of having to give up your job to move onto a more interesting path, you’d “get paid every single minute” for making any kind of contribution - from flipping burgers to writing a brilliant book. And that’s because Bitcoin would provide an easy economic transaction path to every single person on the planet. “Work becomes a hobby,” says Jack, “because for anything you do, you’re going to be able to get the appropriate value for that contribution. There’ll be no frictions in the Bitcoin world.” It’ll be like “the gig economy on steroids”.If that sounds like something you might not want, don’t worry: it’ll release creativity and allow us to escape from crude materialism. It’ll be like “a digital Renaissance”. And Jack goes further: “it’ll have the kind of effect of making earth seem like heaven”, and the way we live today “will be looked at by historians in the future, [and] seem like hell”.And if you do, by some misfortune, find that you aren’t able to work, as long as you have previously worked in a Bitcoin economy, you’ll be OK because the Bitcoin you have already earned will be worth more and more as time goes on.
Charlotte is granted her first of many interviews with Jack outside the lecture hall. She plays along with his charade, quizzing him on Leonardo da Vinci facts and prying for details on Renaissance life. He explains that the 15th-Century Renaissance has many ties to today’s Digital Renaissance, and shares with Charlotte the significance that today’s technology, data, and people will play in the future. Charlotte is surprised by his interest in technology, and skeptically plays along. Toward the end of the interview, after he has explained how he hops through time, the mood gets more serious. Charlotte and Jack discuss his death, something he knows exactly when to expect.
LIVE from SXSW 2018, this special episode features the talk Rob and Jim delivered at this year's festival titled 'The Best is Yet to Come, Digital Renaissance.' We've all heard the dystopian stories of AI destroying the world as we know it, but what if the best is yet to come? We believe there is an equally viable outcome for the future where humans are no longer burdened with menial tasks and are free to live life to the full and get creative, as was exhibited during the Renaissance in the 14th-17th century. Using this positive outlook as a lens, we will provide an analysis of the most important developments in technology over the last year. -- Alexa Stop is supported by Manifesto and Wirehive, recorded live in London, UK. https://manifesto.co.uk https://wirehive.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alexa-stop-podcast/message

I have added a great new track by by Spencer & Hill called 'Excuse Me' great prog house track. I have thrown in a feel old time classics with a bit of a new feel such as the Superbeez's 'You're No Good For Me' mixed by Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike I get close to finishing he mix with 'Destination Calabria' (Abel Ramos with love mix) and don't be fooled by the track it's not the commercial fave it is a nice progressive house number works a treat on the dancefloors.
