In this episode of Parents at Work, Lori Mihalich-Levin and Jason Levin continue with their tradition of interviewing moms and dads in various professional roles.  Today, Lori and Jason talk to two amazing CEO dads, Bob Spagnoletti and Charles Bonello. Bob serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the District of Columbia Bar, and Charlie is the Co-founder and CEO of Vivvi, a provider of childcare and early education for children of all ages.  The District of Columbia Bar is the largest integrated bar in the United States, with over 110,000 members practicing in fifty states and more than eighty countries. Bob also serves as the Executive Vice President of the DC Bar Pro Bono Center, an independent 501(c)(3) affiliate of the DC Bar. The Pro Bono Center recruits, trains, and mobilizes volunteer attorneys to take pro bono cases, serving individuals living in poverty who are at risk of losing their homes, livelihoods, and families. Bob and his husband, Bernard, have been together for twenty years. They have two boys, Hunter and Anthony, and one grandson. Vivvi has programs across the country, including on-campus, in-home, in-office, and virtual tutoring. Vivvi partners with employers of all different sizes to make child care more accessible and affordable to provide parents with peace of mind and allow employers the most powerful tool for recruiting retention and productivity. Before co-founding Vivvi, Charlie co-founded Grand Central Tech and was a venture partner at RTP Ventures. He is a graduate of Tufts University and currently lives in New York with his wife and their three children.  In today's conversation, Bob and Charlie share their respective journeys as working fathers who also happen to be CEOs. Bob talks about his and his husband's experience of fostering and then adopting children as a same-sex couple. Charlie describes what it was like to go from an academic exercise in childcare to needing childcare in real life. They also discuss what it has been like, day-to-day, being both parents and CEOs, how their parenting experiences have enhanced their careers, and how their careers have helped them become better parents. Stay tuned to hear Bob and Charlie's inspiring stories! Show highlights: Bob talks about how his older son, Hunter, came to him and Bernard, as a foster child, in the mid-90s. (3:52) Bob and Bernard adopted Anthony many years after Hunter came into their lives. (4:58) Bob worked the whole time, and Bernard, a special-ed teacher, took time off work when they had Anthony. (5:45) Charlie got to see first-hand the impact that child care had on working families and their employers. That inspired him to go out and make things happen! (8:40) Although it took a lot of juggling, serving families in need of childcare during the desperate time of COVID motivated Charlie and his wife, a nurse, to keep on going out and driving their programs. (10:05) Being both a parent and a CEO can sometimes feel all-consuming. Charlie explains how he manages to cope with both roles successfully. (12:34) Being a parent and a CEO has sensitized Bob to the parental concerns and issues that members of his staff are facing. (15:01) It was helpful for Bob to have a diverse executive team, great work colleagues, flexibility, and the power to make operating decisions when he became a parent. (17:34) Offering free childcare to all his employees has proven to be the most impactful and effective recruiting, retention, and productivity tool ever for Charlie. (20:47) The DC Bar now has a policy in place that allows moms, dads, and adoptive parents to take time off after the birth of their children. (26:40) Back-up care is an essential resource for working parents. (30:21) Bob feels the need to jump in and fix things that are broken. As a parent, he has worked hard to figure out who needs to be addressing a problem before jumping in. (32:55) Parenthood has helped Charlie improve his communication and how he...

Funny as Tech (tech ethicist David Ryan Polgar & comedian Joe Leonardo) chat with Georgia Frances King about the future of journalism! How has it been influenced by social media and the internet in general, and where is it headed?We chat about Georgia being a slashie, gamifying reading, filter bubbles, the ability to nerd out on topics, clicking out random ads to support good journalism, whether people read long articles online, meaningful engagement, saltwater crocodiles, and so much more. Georgia Frances King is an Ideas Editor at Quartz, where she works with industry leaders to pen forward-thinking op-eds on futuristic technology. VR, AR, AI, IoT, ML, NLP: If it's an acronym, she probably deals with it. A recovered lifestyle journalist, she was once the assistant editor of Australia's frankie magazine and spent three years as the editor of Kinfolk magazine, during which time she also edited their New York Times-best seller, The Kinfolk Home. She now works at the intersection of emerging technology and quality-of-life, happily living with her head in the cloud.
