Representation of women in the fintech industry is scarce. So scarce that women make up less than 10 percent of fintech founders or executive board members, according to a recent paper from the International Monetary Fund. But Sofiat Abdulrazaaq is changing the game for women of color in fintech. Abdulrazaaq is the co-founder of Goodfynd, a platform that began as a way to help consumers find nearby food vendors/trucks and facilitate ordering and delivery where available. Goodfynd also has a B2B application. Abdulrazaaq identified the need for all mobile vendors — food or otherwise — to have an accessible and affordable one-stop shop to run their business. This “business in a box” model is meant to reach the under-served community of first generation and immigrant mobile vendors, allowing them to include what they need from the Goodfynd platform — without extra bells and whistles. What started off as an organic quest to find food trucks before the pandemic morphed into B2C and a scalable B2B model. Pivoting from a stint in privacy law (she got her JD then decided to become an entrepreneur), Abdulrazaaq shows resilience in the face of hardship as a woman of color in a male-dominated world. Listen to Abdulrazaaq discuss raising capital and launching Goodfynd, on this episode of SheVentures. 1:45 Abdulrazaaq discusses her career pivots. 4:20 How did the idea for Goodfynd emerge? 10:15 Abdulrazaaq reflects how a grant from Lighthouse Labs helped her and her co-founders create a proof of concept. 19:05 Will Goodfynd expand its business model to all mobile businesses? 22:12 What does being an “impact-first executive” mean to Abdulrazaaq? 25:22 Abdulrazaaq shares her experience as a woman of color raising capital. 33:55 What are her three tips for women pursuing entrepreneurship? 38:06 Where can listeners learn more about Goodfynd?
If you listened to the very first episode of this show, the name Todd Nuckols and part of the following story might sound familiar.When I first moved to the US eight years ago, Todd was one of the very first people I met. We met up at a coworking space called 804 RVA and I asked him how to get involved in Richmond's entrepreneurship scene. Without hesitation, he pulled out his metaphorical Rolodex and generously opened up his network. To top it all off, he invited me to attend a conference in New York City with him that got me in the same room for two days with some of the world's most renowned startup accelerators.Todd's rich social capital and the generosity with which he meets people are only two of the reasons I knew I couldn't produce this season without him on the show. Todd, like me, is not keen on confrontation and conflict, yet he has managed it masterfully as a keystone in RVA's entrepreneurial ecosystem.A career technologist and committed dad, Todd Nuckols is passionate about advancing access to capital to fuel founders and community growth. Driven by faith and seeking to be part of the conversation wherever he finds himself, he wants to be known for leaving an impact on those around him for the better!Let's talk to Todd and find out how he invests in the lives of founders.Disclaimer: We had audio issues with this episode but trust me that the content is worth suffering through some of the distortions.Listen to the full episode to hear: How clarity and simplicity of mission turned one of Lighthouse's initial opponents into a supporter Why Todd says it's so important to focus on common ground when there's conflict How to compromise while maintaining the integrity of your mission and purpose How Todd says establishing a framework where everyone gets a win builds trust Why owning your failures is also key to earning trust Learn More About Todd Nuckols: Lighthouse Labs Connect with Lighthouse Labs on LinkedIn Learn More About Anika Horn: Website: www.socialventurers.com Instagram: SocialVenturers Newsletter: Sign up for Impact Curator

Cybersecurity isn't typically an HR thing... but go for it! This is a big ideas episode and you'll learn a lot. Dennis Hill, Ph.D, an HR and information management specialist, talks about a lot of ideas here. You'll learn about cybersecurity for HR but ALSO a little about ransomeware, 5g, and blockchain and how these apply to the security of employee data.

I invited 4 graduates on from a Canadian based coding bootcamp to share their experiences with the program. One thing that I have to say is that programs and even students in Canada seem to portray themselves in a very honest and straightforward way. It's no secret that the educational industry in the US has some work to do in that area. This program also taught Ruby, which is something you don't see all that often. So, of course, we dove into some pros and cons of that.

A plan to prioritise certain people for coronavirus tests will be published in the coming days following widespread problems with the system. NHS staff and patients - along with care workers - will be at the top of the list. The former health secretary, Jeremy Hunt, told Nick Robinson that the government should aim to expand testing capacity by more than currently planned: “If we roughly quadrupled the testing capacity that we are currently planning - not 500,000 a day but two million a day – you would be able to test everyone in the population once a month.” He went on to say: “And that you could do not with a sort of moonshot of new technologies - you could actually do that with existing technologies. So that really is the next step if we’re going to try to find a way of controlling this surge of public demand.” With Dr Mike Skinner, a reader in virology at Imperial College London who volunteered to work in one of the giant government run Lighthouse Labs.

Whether you're a newbie or an experienced coder; whether you manage a small team of programmers, or an entire corporate division, the if/else podcast is here to help you make those decisions.On this first episode of if/else, host Mayuko Inoue explores a choice faced by anyone interested in starting or rebooting a career in software development: should you opt for a short-but-intensive coding bootcamp, or sign up for a long-but-deeper computer science degree program? How should you think about the cost of the two options? Or the time commitment? Or the community?You'll hear from several developers about their first-hand experience of bootcamps and 4-year degree programs, and from instructors and faculty, including Harvard professor Harry R. Lewis, who taught both Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg.You'll also meet Andreea. She's facing this decision herself, but she's not alone. That's because we've enlisted the help of two industry experts to help Andreea figure out which option will work best for her, and for anyone facing a similar choice.Cedric Stallworth of The Georgia Tech College of Computing, and Charlyne Fothergill of Lighthouse Labs join Mayuko to debate the pros and cons of each approach, and to talk about all the things Andreea should consider before she makes her choice.What will Andreea do?

Thank you to everyone who's stopped by to listen! On Episode 3 of #TheFutureOf podcast, we explored the theme question "Will the gig economy take over 9-5 jobs?" with guests Jeremy Shaki, CEO of Lighthouse Labs and Isabelle Duchaine, Director of Operations at the Business/Higher Education Roundtable “The gig economy [in the U.S.]…is now estimated to be about 34% of the workforce and expected to be 43% by the year 2020.” That was in 2017. For a more concrete picture, Harvard Business Review reported that 150 million workers in North American and Western Europe are engaged as independent contractors. The host (Prieeyya) leads the conversation around the opportunity for the gig economy in the future of work, how this shift in jobs is affecting talent development and how the gig economy will impact workplace culture and the employer-employee relationship.

This episode is a little different. A joint experiment. A nebulous mission. In this inspiring international discussion, I was honored to be joined by two co-hosts: Dawna Jones of Vancouver and Gert Penne of Belgium. And three guests: Willow Bumby and Lindsey Henwood of Vancouver, and Josh Shaffer of Tampa. With 6+ participants, spanning 3+ countries, 3 continents, and 3 generations we explored not only the future of work, but also the future of education. Dawna Jones is the AUTHOR of DECISION-MAKING for DUMMIES. Her book appears on Steve Denning's (Forbes) list of 8 Noteworthy Books for 2014. Dawna is also the host of the “Evolutionary Provocateur” podcast. Gert Penne, an account executive in the tech industry, is a an Empathic Problem Solver, who takes a principle-centered approach to teaming across cultures, disciplines, and generations. At the end of a 2-continent, 3-country Skype call, Dawna, Gert, and I found ourselves talking about generational differences globally. With the goal to learn how the next generation sees the Future of Work, we decided to invite 3 Millennials to a follow-up call. This show is that call. Millennials fall just after the Gen-Xers. They were born between 1982 and 2004. We were fortunate to have 3 Millennials join us. Josh Shaffer is an early Millennial, and works for Accenture in Talent Acquisition in Tampa. Willow Bumby is an iOS Engineer, designer, and writer, as well as a teacher at Lighthouse Labs in Vancouver. Lindsay Henwood is a User Experience Design Instructor at Red Academy, a rapidly growing Tech School startup in Vancouver. Two other Millennials joined us virtually. Lauren Kirmil is a Marketing and Media Specialist and a former technical recruiter in the San Francisco Bay Area. During her extensive travels throughout Southeast Asia she worked as a freelance travel writer. Grace Liu is a former Outreach Support Officer at the British Consulate in Guangzhou, China. She recently received funding to start a venture in Shenzhen. With the assistance of her NYU professor she also plans to start an NGO incorporating ancient contemplative practices, including meditation. In this discussion we covered a wide range of topics. Distributed workforces and workplace flexibility and the big American offensive to change the workplace. Self-responsibility, self-awareness, self-perception. Cultural fit: the “techie” mold and the pressure to fit in. The dying days of the industrial model, the irrelevant university degree and the rise of bootcamp style education. The need to understand the next generation, and the companies which will die. The rise of the robots and the growing fear of job loss. Capitalism and its schizophrenic booms and busts: do we want an economy based on self-interest or creativity and collaboration? Tribalism and the need to belong: do we become global citizens or nationalists? Surviving the industrial model and designing the new workplace. The need to shift easily into different industries and the costly risk in over-specialization. The silliness of our current system and people's inability to work with power. And the power coming from the “Millennial values”.
Drew and James open the show with a shout out to all the events that past the previous week. This week we have the lead instructor from Lighthouse Labs: Don Burks.
