"Wish not so much to live long as to live well." — Benjamin Franklin In 2008, Kevin Delaney woke up from a coma with doctors telling his family that he had only about 24 hours left to live. He was 42 years old, active and healthy, and now suddenly in need of an emergency liver transplant. The odds were stacked against him, but by some miracle, a few hours later they found an organ donor match in Arizona. Kevin was given a second shot at life, and now spends it helping teach others how to live life to the fullest. --------------- Buy Kevin's Book - A Life Worth Living (Amazon): https://www.amazon.com/Life-Worth-Living-Finding-Imagined-ebook/dp/B08H1DLFHQ Check out Kevin's official website and sign up for his email newsletter: https://www.kevinjohndelaney.com/ ---------------

George Pappas was the first Jamie Salter sponsored team rider for Kemper a distinction he earned by placing 8th at the Snwoboarding World Championships in Breckenridge CO. He grew up riding with his brother Chris Pappas, Dave Dowd, Kevin Delaney, and many other legendary pro snowboarders from Colorado and around the world.In December of last year when this was recorded George was piecing together his life after serving 5 years of a 13 year sentence for the attempted murder of his girlfriend at the time. Shortly after arriving in prison George enrolled in everything he could to try and spend as little time in jail as he could and luck (which he reminds me is the meeting of preparation and opportunity) landed him in programs that actually reached him and changed his life forever. Now, as we're nearing a year of George being out of prison, he's reno'd a home he's living in into a recovery house. He's qualified to compete in the in World Skate Games slalom events in Argentina by beating  the 8 time world champion Joe McLaren at the Texas Sizzlera few weeks ago. He's in the process of being granted early release from parole. And he's reconnecting with his son Geoy. Support the show (https://paypal.me/fnradfoundation)

As we approach the warmer months, more companies are starting to think about when, and how, their employees should return to the office-- if at all. The pandemic has made us all reconsider how we best work. But what questions should workers, and employers, be thinking about as we head into summer? Kevin Delaney, co-founder and CEO of Charter, a company dedicated to thinking about the future of work, joins us to discuss where he thinks the workplace is headed, and take calls from listeners.

The future of work is one of the most fertile topic areas out there. The pandemic caused a reset, when combined with the labor shortage coming out of Covid, and it's not going back to normal. The Atlantic's Derek Thompson cited statistics that show basically every industry halted by Covid – from restaurants to cruises – has more or less returned to normal, except ones like movie theaters and offices. I've long thought the boss class is kidding themselves about strongarming people back to dreary commutes, fights over who left a coffee mug in the sink, pointless meetings and presenteeism. Work is changing, even if bosses don't trust people with their cameras off.That's why I find the scramble to own the future-of-work category fascinating. Jay Lauf, a cofounder of Charter, a new brand exploring the transformation of work, joined me to discuss how this bootstrapped media company is taking a different path than his previous executive roles at Quartz, The Atlantic and Condé Nast.“We've run these workplaces,” Jay told on this week's episode of The Rebooting Show. “We've thought about these workplaces, and we've served different roles within these workplaces. We've been our own test lab in some ways, both prior in our careers and currently, trying to build this out.”Some takeaways: Start with an idea. Jay talks about how he and co-founders Kevin Delaney and Erin Grau all felt like they were “scratching an itch.” Media born from a legitimate interest tends to be more valuable than engineered media that looks for an arbitrage opportunity.Find a high-value area of need. The upending of the work routine during the pandemic was unprecedented. Human resources issues have gone from the sideline to a central organizational challenge.Embed in a community. Charter is both covering the future of work but also living it as they build their own workplace. Being both a participant and observer is a powerful combination.Ads and subs aren't an either-or proposition. Charter wants to develop a business model mostly reliant on direct payments. But that doesn't mean it is averse to ads. In fact, ads are the majority of its revenue as it determines the best direct-revenue model. Check out the full episode on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Over the past seven months, non-fungible tokens or NFTs have captured the world's imagination and hype cycle, especially after the digital artist known as Beeple sold an NFT, which is a blockchain-verified proof of transfer of ownership, for one of his prints, for a record $69 million. Since then, demand for these types of collectible digital art has exploded. Artists, writers, and entire industries are trying to tap into this lucrative new art form and create all kinds of NFTs for movies, albums, photographs, even a single tweet. At the forefront of the NFT effort in the digital newsroom is the business publication, Quartz, which sold the first news article converted into a non-fungible token or NFT. Since then, the New York Times, Time Magazine, and other news outlets have followed suit with their own NFT offerings. Joining me to talk about NFTs and the media landscape is Zach Seward. He's co-founder and CEO of Quartz. Seward is widely recognized as a leader in digital journalism, cited in publications, such as Forbes, Crain's New York Business, Digiday, and FOLIO. Prior to joining Quartz, Seward was a reporter at the Wall Street Journal, covering education and health, and then served as the newspaper's first social media editor. Before the Wall Street Journal, Seward was an assistant editor at Harvard's Nieman Journalism Lab, covering the media industry.

Chitra Ragavan: Well, tell me how you made the journey from journalism to digital journalism and over to Quartz and why you got it started. Zach Seward: Yeah. I helped start Quartz back in 2012. Before that, as you were just saying, I was at the Wall Street Journal. My boss there was this guy Kevin Delaney, who was the managing editor of WSJ.com. He gets hired away by Atlantic Media in the very beginning of 2012 to launch a new business news site for Atlantic Media. That company then published the Atlantic Magazine, a few other titles. They had this theory, which proved correct, that there was some white space for a digital-only global business news publication that would go after advertising that was largely locked up with the Financial Times and the Economist, which by dint of that, not being a very competitive market. It gotten complacent and certainly had the burden of having to focus on print. Zach Seward: And so, we came in, digital-only, totally free,

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, digital connections were indispensable — for education, social interactions, telemedicine, business continuity and so much more. But in places where connectivity is limited, the challenges and tragedies of the pandemic were only heightened. This was especially true in Native American communities across America, where infection rates soared, economic opportunity fell, and, for many, isolation deepened. In this podcast, Cisco TechBeat host Kevin Delaney speaks with Traci Morris, Director of the American Indian Policy Institute (https://aipi.asu.edu/) at Arizona State University. A proud member of the Chickasaw Nation, Dr. Morris has studied the impact of the digital divide in Indian country. Additional insights come from Emma Broadbent, of Cisco’s Networking Academy (https://www.netacad.com/), about her efforts to build tech skills among the indigenous peoples of Australia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea. Together, they provide some real-world solutions that will help to unleash the creativity, wisdom, and entrepreneurial spirit of indigenous communities around the world.

Additional insights on the power of digitalization are shared by Bidhan Roy, Cisco’s Managing Director and Head of Commercial and Small Business for Asia Pacific, Japan, and China; and Carlos Torales, Managing Sales Director for Small and Medium Business in the Latin America region.
