PICKING UP THE PACE|Jay Rogers, founder and CEO of haddy- a 3D -printed furniture company, joins host Gregg Garrett to discuss the lessons he learned by 3D printing autonomous vehicles and how the team is now looking to disrupt the complete supply chain of a less regulated industry with a similar product set. Of course, Jay speaks about his Top 3: God, who is part of his life everyday, his boys who help him to learn and reverse mentor him, and 3-star General Mike Dana who specializes in servant leadership. And you have to hear what he has to say about reading by candlelight. ABOUT JAY ROGERS John “Jay” Rogers is CEO and Co-Founder of haddy inc. – a pioneering digital manufacturing company serving the furniture industry and built on revolutionary technology and IP. Haddy is changing the way furniture is designed, built, delivered, and recycled. It is the world's first micro-manufacturer of furniture produced through a proprietary method of direct digital manufacturing (“DDM”). Through DDM, haddy enables more rapid technology and material adoption and a superior resilient supply chain. Jay grew up a lover of woodworking, machines, and a student of industry; his grandfather owned the legendary Indian Motorcycle Company, founded concrete and steel giant Texas Industries, and was the first Cummins Engine Distributor in the United States. Jay's grandfather is also credited with saving the Public Broadcasting System during the Nixon Administration and founding the Children's Television Workshop, which is best known for Sesame Street. In combining his family legacy of manufacturing, his military leadership, entrepreneurship, and education, Jay has hand selected a team of co-founders and set forth on a most ambitious plan: Creating, heroic, beautiful, durable furniture for retailers, to their design, built locally in the most resilient and sustainable manner. He graduated from Princeton University and went to a startup in China and then to Ewing & Partners where he became a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA). After that, he went on to the US Marine Corps where he served for 9 years in the infantry in the western Pacific and Iraq, to Harvard Business School and to become a consultant for McKinsey & Co. Most recently, he founded and led Local Motors, a next generation vehicle OEM. It was there that Jay discovered the basic technology of DDM, and in 2021 he handed over the reins of Local Motors to a new investor group and left to start haddy full-time. The story of how communities of customers and suppliers can effectively participate in the innovation and creation of leading technology products is a journey Jay shares widely. He has spoken at BIF, PopTech, TedX, Picnic in Amsterdam, Do Conference in Wales, St Gallen Symposium, the White House conference on making, CES, CeBIT, IMTS, Singularity University, and many more conclaves. Additionally, the story of American innovation, co-creation and digital manufacturing has been shared on Discovery, PBS, Fox, CNBC, and Speed Channel. You can find Jay's impact first in long form narrative as part of many books, starting with MacroWikinomics written by Don Tapscott and Anthony D. Williams and more recently in America's Moment: Creating Opportunity in the Connected Age by Rework America and Zoe Baird. His work has also been featured in Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, Wired, Top Gear, AutoWeek, Inc., Details, Forbes, and others. In 2020, he was awarded the honor of leading Local Motors to one of the top 10 global innovative transportation companies by Popular Science. Jay is a director of the RBR Foundation, which gives annually to the cause of childhood education and development. He is the father of 4 boys who are growing up in a connected age and whom, he hopes, will take advantage of the incredible opportunity that the internet has given the world. Visit Jay, haddy and the future of American Manufacturing Innovation in Tampa, FL where the first haddy microfactory is being built, and where he calls headquarters and home.

Every business has its golden formula for growth that works for them. But one SaaS platform might push things further by growing your brand awareness and referrals through word of mouth. That is Referral Rock, and today, its Founder and CEO, Josh Ho, shares in detail its origin story.In this episode, we discuss:How to make word-of-mouth referrals a part of your business growth strategyB2B versus B2C SaaS productsWinning strategies to build your team and scale your SaaS businessB2B Versus B2C SaaS ProductsThough B2B SaaS products are more complex, it's easier to sell and scale as you need fewer customers willing to spend more for a great product. For B2C, you need thousands of customers, and even if the market seems larger, it is much more difficult to sustain and develop from scaling and building infrastructure perspectives. But B2C seems more appealing to first-time entrepreneurs as they often want to deliver some value to the masses.I think people default to B2C because many are consumers first, and they want their friends and family to think it's cool. On the B2B side, you can find a small number of people, give them a huge value metric, and they don't really blink an eye at spending hundreds of dollars on software - Josh HoTake Notes of This Hiring StrategyBuilding and scaling a SaaS business implies strategically hiring the right people for specific positions. For Josh, that means learning enough first about a role and then hiring a mid-level specialist whom he can train to take on management responsibilities and build a team. And that person will also make the playbook, put it into an operation manual, learn it themselves, and then train other people.I modeled in my head as I would nail the job, and then I would scale up by finding other people and training them behind me - Josh HoLearn This Before Starting Your CompanyWhen you start being successful as an entrepreneur, you might feel mature enough to take on new challenges or that you're better than you are. But when you get to a new level, you might realize that you were not mature enough and there is still a lot you should learn. Be aware of this and constantly look for areas to improve before taking on new commitments.There was a lot more meat down in level two versus me trying to jump to level three or jump to level four - Josh HoFor more interviews from the SaaS Origin Stories podcast, check us out on Apple, Spotify, or your favorite podcast player!

Episode Summary:In today's episode we are diving into the inspiring world of Dr. Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg. Named "One to Watch" by the Financial Times and voted a Future 50 by Icon Magazine, this Cambridge University and Royal College of Art graduate makes artworks that explore our fraught relationships with nature and technology. Through artworks, writing, and curatorial projects, Ginsberg's work explores subjects as diverse as artificial intelligence, synthetic biology, conservation, and evolution, as she investigates the human impulse to “better” the world. In this candid conversation we ask Daisy about her ongoing one of a kind interspecies artwork entitled Pollinator Pathmaker that transforms how we see gardens and who we make them for. This conscious art project will come into full bloom for the first time this May at the Eden Project, Cornwall. Further public Pollinator Pathmaker gardens will be planted this year in other locations globally including the Serpentine in London. Meanwhile, anyone in Northern Europe will be able to plant their own garden at home, as well as globally by creating a garden plan at pollinator.art, supported by the Google Arts and Culture Lab.The Speaker:Dr. Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg is an artist examining our fraught relationships with nature and technology. Through artworks, writing, and curatorial projects, Ginsberg's work explores subjects as diverse as artificial intelligence, synthetic biology, conservation, and evolution, as she investigates the human impulse to “better” the world. Ginsberg spent over ten years experimentally engaging with the field of synthetic biology, developing new roles for artists and designers. She is lead author of Synthetic Aesthetics: Investigating Synthetic Biology's Designs on Nature (MIT Press, 2014), and in 2017 completed Better, her PhD by practice, at London's Royal College of Art (RCA), interrogating how powerful dreams of “better” futures shape the things that get designed. Ginsberg won the World Technology Award for design in 2011, the London Design Medal for Emerging Talent in 2012, and the Dezeen Changemaker Award 2019. Her work has twice been nominated for Designs of the Year (2011, 2015), with Designing for the Sixth Extinction described as “romantic, dangerous... and everything else that inspires us to change and question the world”. Ginsberg exhibits internationally, including at MoMA New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, the National Museum of China, the Centre Pompidou, and the Royal Academy, and her work is held in museum and private collections. Talks include TEDGlobal, PopTech, Design Indaba, and the New Yorker TechFest.

Que o Brasil tem forte vocação agro não é novidade pra ninguém. A verdade, entretanto, é que no universo dos investimentos – pelo menos entre pessoas físicas – se fala muito da cotação do dólar, da alta dos juros, dos preços das ações, mas quase nada sobre grãos e terras. Mas isso tem mudado. De uns tempos pra cá, por exemplo, começaram a pipocar os tais dos Fiagros (Fundos de Investimento em Cadeias Agroindustriais) em diversas gestoras. Afinal, quais são as oportunidades e riscos do agronegócio para quem quer investir? E pra quem se preocupa com questões de meio ambiente, sustentabilidade e governança (ESG) – tem espaço no universo agro? Convidamos o economista agrícola e gerente de consultoria agro do Itaú, Guilherme Bellotti, que trabalha com o segmento desde 2013, pra nos dar uma luz sobre o tema. Ouça! O Bilhões no Divã, como você já sabe, é um podcast que surgiu pra falar de dinheiro do jeito certo.

Money has been equated to happiness for time immemorial. However, this is not a straight line relationship. It is staggered at best and jagged at worst. Regardless, what we do know is that money does make people happy, but only to a certain point. Recent events such as COVID-19 have potentially changed our relationship with money in ways that have brought meaning and purpose closer to the surface. Does this have something to do with our realization about the impermanence of things? Does money affect our sense of mortality and how we want to be remembered? We explore these concepts, questions and more with Dr. Elizabeth Dunn, professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of British Columbia. Dr. Dunn conducts experimental research examining how time, money, and technology shape human happiness. She is the co-author of Happy Money: The Science of Happier Spending (Simon & Schuster) with Dr. Michael Norton. Her work has appeared in top journals, with three papers published in Science, and she has given a talk at TED, PopTech! and TEDx. She was selected as one of the “rising stars” in academia by the Chronicle of Higher Education in 2004 and was an honoree for the 2007 Mind Gym Academic Prize for pioneering work in positive psychology. In 2010, she received a New Investigator Award from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, as well as UBC's Robert E. Knox Master Teacher Award. Her research has been featured in hundreds of media outlets around the world, including The New York Times, The Globe and Mail, The London Times, Maclean's, Time, and CNN.

That's what pulled me through my darkest days. And then you know, who would have thought that it would become almost my purpose, right?” “And when I woke up from this coma, a few days later, I still have this respirator down my throat. And so, I couldn't talk. But I wrote out on a piece of paper that I was given a choice and I chose to stay.'' “I was just hanging on, and also incredibly grateful, like to have the opportunity to hang on and fight. And so, gratitude became a big part of not just a practice, but to be honest, like a very natural organic thing for me, because every day I woke up and I was alive, I was grateful whether I'd lost my legs or not.'' “And I remember at one point saying, ‘I don't know if I can do this, but if anybody can, it's going to be me.' ‘' “I needed a community of people who are like me, and it didn't really exist and needed something to pull it together.'' “It's like going through the valleys of despair and like finding your way out and having these real realizations of what's really important in life, and how do we get through challenges. And I've decided to share the journey along the way.''

We live at a curious moment, when data and information from a variety of sources overwhelm our senses and when there are people who are working to manipulate some of that data, spreading disinformation and discord. This has led to a skepticism and distrust of data that can make it difficult to find common ground and which, when it comes to public health, may make us all less safe. Overcoming that distrust and helping people see how the world adds up is the focus of this episode of Stats and Stories with guest Tim Harford coming to you virtually live from the RSS International conference, with guest host Significance Magazine editor Brain Tarran. Harford is an economist, journalist and broadcaster. He is author of "How To Make the World Add Up", "Messy", and the million-selling "The Undercover Economist".

If you thought the airship died with the Hindenburg … think again!Have you ever been part of or craved for a community that just feels like you belong in it, like you get them and they get you, like your values are aligned and you agree on a common sense of purpose, or being? Finding, let alone thriving, in such a community is hard these days. But have you ever wondered what it takes to build a vibrant, robust and enduring community? Whether they meet physically or virtually, given the current global context, it turns out that it takes a fair amount of thoughtful and deliberate planning and engineering to make communities thrive. In our podcast episode this week, we talk to three remarkable leaders, Ms. Leetha Filderman - President of Poptech, Ms. Cheryl Dorsey - President of Echoing Green and Ms. Joanna Sparber - Global Director of Impact at The Conduit.

Ancient wisdom has rightfully identified problems with the human mind which is ill-fitted to deal with the perceptual ambiguity that includes frequent gaps between one's perceptions and reality. This creates a tussle between the intuitive system of the brain versus the reflective one, which often results in a “self-blind” mind that doesn't know itself. As a result, the human mind and brain ends up spending a lifetime untangling the clash of the titans, or the intuitive and reflective systems.On today's podcast our guest, Christopher Chabris, Ph. D., a cognitive psychologist, an author, an Ig Nobel prize winner and a Professor at Geisinger, an integrated healthcare system, will discuss what cognitive psychology has discovered about mental illusions and it's effect which leads us to harbor mistaken judgments about our true limitations. Because by design the brain doesn't know how it operates and those interested in Executive Function, self-awareness, and self-regulation need to reconsider methods of coaching, training, or educating others.About Christopher Chabris, Ph.D.Christopher Chabris is a Professor at Geisinger, an integrated healthcare system in Pennsylvania. His research focuses on attention, intelligence (individual, collective, and social), behavior genetics, and decision-making.

What is your favorite way to listen to music these days? Are you still a physical record listener, or have you jumped on the Spotify band wagon? Perhaps you listen to an obscure digital service provider (DSP) like Deezer or Music Aficionado. Whatever your cup of tea happens to be, we're discussing the rise of streaming services, and where they may be headed in the future today with Co-Founder of Label Logic, and music industry veteran, Jay Gilbert. We delve into the issues facing certain streaming services, like Spotify, and more niche providers like licensing fees and how they can stay afloat when music is their focus. For other companies like Amazon, Apple, and Google, music is a rounding error in their overall business, so a failure in their streaming services wouldn't affect their bottom line. How do the Pandoras and Spotifys of the world keep up in this market? Well, by providing a more personalized experience, of course! We also discuss how a service like YouTube became top dog in the world of music streaming. Playlists, access to everything conceivable, and curation seem to be fan favorites among music listeners.

Über den Gast Wenn ich die besonderen Aktivitäten, Rollen und Auszeichnungen meines Gastes heute alle aufzählen würde, hätten wir vermutlich eine Introzeit von gut 20 Minuten. Deswegen nur ein kurzer Auszug: Der World Technology Award for Design, Ausstellungen im MoMA in New York, im Museum of Contemprary Arts in Tokyo, im National Museum of China. Keynotes bei TEDGlobal, Pop Tech, New York Tech Fest. Lehraufträge an Universitäten in den USA, Russland, Isaland, UK, Indien, Wien. Im Advisory und Editorial Board tätig für MIT Press, Journal of Design and Science, MIT LAB, und Science Gallery London. Der Link zur Vita und den beeindruckenden Projekten: https://daisyginsberg.com/about Über den Host Florian Kondert ist Geschäftsführer der Future Day GmbH. Sein Team begleitet Unternehmen seit über 15 Jahren dabei, Zukunft in ihr Heute zu bringen. Im Kern aller Tätigkeiten stehen jene Momente, die uns neu auf die Welt blicken lassen, und in welchen wir entscheidende Weichen für die Zukunft stellen. Die Future Day GmbH kreiert solche Momente, die intellektuell und emotional inspirieren. Die Fragen an Dr. Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg: Mein Gast heute ist die Künstlerin Dr. Daisy Ginsberg, die wir auch beim kommenden Future Day am 25. Juni in Frankfurt auf der Bühne begrüßen dürfen: Daisy, thank you so much for the opportunity to talk to you today! To give our audience a short impression about your daily live: We had to postpone our interview, since you recently arrived back from a 5 weeks exhibition journey with a heavy cold, right? Where have you been and what was the exhibition about? (01:10) https://www.daisyginsberg.com/work/resurrecting-the-sublime Let’s get a bit closer to what our guests at the upcoming Future Day will learn from your work: Could I say, a plastic bottle is responsible for your keynote topic? What’s the story behind that? (04:10) The title of your talk is “BETTER! – What is better? Whose better? Who decides?”. Why is that a crucial question for you? (07:30) https://www.daisyginsberg.com/work/better If I look around a bit more reflected, I got the feeling, that the idea of better was kind of hijacked in many domains. From politics to marketing, everyone is promising that things will be somehow better. It actually feels a bit like betterism. Do we need to be aware about that? (09:30) Should we all be more concerned about the question of better? Where would you expect major change if they did, in terms of our challenges towards future issues? (13:35) Your recent project RESURRECTING THE SUBLIME was about reconstructing the smell of deserted flowers using genetic engineering. Is the idea behind that to be more sensitive about the implications which decisions we make as human beings?(16:59) Why did you choose especially flowers as an admonition to what we are responsible for? (20:45) I understand, your work delivers straight forward crucials impulses for the economy and basically for every individual as well. Why did you decide to bring these to your audience through arts? (26:40) Do we probably need exactly this kind of storytelling interventions to get really involved? (29:44) There is one last question, that seems to fit perfectly to the upcoming Future Day in Frankfurt: In the abstract about your Better-project you write, social imaginary itself can be a critical design object, offering a process to reimagine the world. What do you mean by that and why is it vital to reimagine our world? (32:42) OUTRO Daisy, thank you so much for your time today. I’m looking forward to meet you personally in June 25th at the Future Day in Frankfurt!

CES 2019 is on the horizon and we take look ahead at what is perhaps the most pervasive category at the show: TVs. Freelance Writer for The Wirecutter and CNET, Geoffrey Morrison, gives us a reality check on Samsung's latest advancement in TV technology, 8K resolution. While this could be useful for VR or very large screens, most people will never be able to tell the difference between 8K and 4K, so don't waste your money. Then, we learn the differences between QLED and OLED, and discover why OLED rollable and transparent TVs will likely be novelty items for the foreseeable future. We close out the show with THE DRIVE with Alan Taylor host and Entertainment Radio Network CEO, Alan Taylor, as he fills us in on an up-and-coming electric vehicle company: Rivian.

It's legend in the computer industry: In the mid '80s, Steve Jobs was ousted from Apple, the company he co-founded and went on to eventually lead to worldwide dominance, after a boardroom battle with the CEO at the time, John Sculley. Over the years, the story got altered and adapted -- to the point where many assumed Jobs was fired, either by Sculley or Apple's board, which wasn't the case. Jobs did lose a boardroom showdown with Sculley (which actually played out over a week or so), one where Jobs' plan of moving marketing dollars from the Apple II to the Macintosh Office was rejected by the board, which led to Jobs being stripped of his leadership of the Macintosh team and pushed him to leave the company. In other words, Jobs ouster was tantamount to a firing, but not an actual firing. Good information, but not as good as knowing Sculley's thoughts and reflections about the incident, some 30+ years on. But that's just what we got when we sat down to talk to the former Apple CEO for Mashable's MashTalk podcast. Now 78, Sculley has gained a new appreciation for founders since his time at Apple, and has gone on to become one himself: He co-founded Zeta Global, a data-driven marketing company, in 2007 and founded Obi Worldphone, which builds smartphones for emerging markets. He's also been an investor in many other companies since he himself was forced out of Apple in 1993, including MetroPCS, Wine Clip, and PopTech. Sculley had a lot to say about the state of the tech industry and the current backlash against it. On the podcast he shares his thoughts on what social media has done to society, where he stands on government regulation of tech, and the fundamentals we need to stick to as we try to integrate technology into our lives as we chart our own future.

Anson's interview with Reggie took place on August 12th, 2017. Earlier that day, in Charlottesville, a white supremacist drove his car headlong into a crowd of protesters killing one and injuring many others. The entire event cast a shadow of that day, and many to come. So Anson asked Reggie his thoughts. Here's what happened. Media provided by PopTech via a Creative Commons Attribution license.
Before Reggie Watts even takes the stage, he has already broken most of the accepted tropes in contemporary comedy, as well as in contemporary music. Some think this is simply because he refuses to see a difference between the two. But even crazier is that Reggie does not write jokes... and he does not write songs. He simply walks into a space and then... something happens. Please join us as we delve into one of the most interesting entertainment minds working today. We highly recommend Reggie's album "Why Shit So Crazy": Media for this episode was provided by TED Talks via a Creative Commons, Attribution, Non Commercial, No Derivatives (International 4.0) license.

In today’s episode of Social Entrepreneur, we continue our #TechForGood series. Today we meet Taylor Downs of OpenFn (pronounced open function). OpenFn is the easy way for NGOs to connect all of their technologies in a few clicks. Here’s why that is important. We know the promise of technology. When we automate routine data jobs: We increase the speed of our impact, brining data to near real time. We increase data accuracy, reducing data entry errors. We reduce costs of people-intensive routine jobs. And we can more easily utilize our technology, reducing the need for technical specialists on the job. We can quickly scale and amplify our impact, especially when our technologies integrate with one another. Technologies work better when they work together. But of course, systems do not always want to work and play well together. That’s where OpenFn comes in. They support mission-driven organizations to integrate and automate their routine jobs. Resources from our Conversation about Automating #TechForGood: OpenFn: https://www.openfn.org/ Vera Solutions: http://www.verasolutions.org/ Taylor’s PopTech presentation: https://youtu.be/GVB9voGp6T4 Culture Shift Learning Academy waiting list: http://tonyloyd.com/assessment Culture Shift Learning Academy Soon we will be launching a Beta version of Culture Shift Learning Academy, a comprehensive system to help you flesh out your social impact idea and start achieving it.

What if you were more persistent? What goal do you have to “Stick To”? Studying, working alongside, and coaching some of the most effective and successful entrepreneurs, athletes and managers in the world, I’ve learned a thing or two about persistence. In fact, while I was at the PopTech.org conference in Camden, Maine last October, I made this one of my “4th Questions” that I asked people. (If you don’t know what I mean when I say “4th question,” email me. I’ll send that section of my book to ya!) During the conversation with my new “friends,” I’d ask, “What goal do you have to Stick To in order to make happen in the next year or two?” It was so cool. As people shared some of their deepest goals and biggest dreams, we stayed in what I call the “energy of the possible.” Over the past month, I’ve sent emails to three people, with ideas that I’ve continued to think about related to our conversation. Tell me, do you have someone on your team who’s continuing to think about your goals, even when you’re not? It’s kinda awesome to have those people on your team. I can speak from experience. In this episode, you'll also learn… How to surround yourself by and with people who will ask you BIG questions. One of the BEST tactics Jason knows of to experience more success and achieve more goals. There are three OTHER tactics you could be learning about this month. A “dictionary definition” of the word, Perseverance. Where Jason will be in the next week or so! Hey, have you ever commented on a blog post?

Chef Homaro Cantu is blazing the way into the new era of postmodern cuisine. Heralded as one of America’s most daring chefs, Cantu pushes the limits of known taste, texture and technique in stunningly futuristic fashion at Moto. A scientist at heart, Cantu is driven by insatiable curiosity and endless possibilities. The same childhood enthusiasm that drove Cantu to dismantle his father’s lawnmower many times over and chomp on five-, ten- and twenty-dollar bills as a young boy still consumes him. Tagged a “techno chef” and a “real life Willy Wonka”, he brushes off these labels and merely refers to himself as a cook when asked. But calling him a cook only scratches the surface – delve a bit deeper and discover an equally talented and inquisitive chef aiming to shatter the traditional rules of the kitchen by introducing new technologies to his chosen craft. Cantu’s goal? To entice 21st century diners to embrace unimaginable — for most — edible creations. Make no mistake, Cantu has not lost sight of what entices most to the dinner table – great tasting food. While guests may be stunned by the creativity on display at Moto, rest assured that this young chef can cook. Having grown up in Portland, Oregon, Cantu graduated from Le Cordon Bleu in 1994 and then staged in nearly 50 kitchens on the West Coast before moving to Chicago in 1999. He chose to settle in Chicago having obtained a position as sous chef at the world-renowned culinary mecca that is Charlie Trotter’s. Cantu honed his already sharp skills in this demanding kitchen and after four years, ambitious and with a hunger to test the waters, he left Trotter’s to open MOTO. Dining at MOTO is more than a culinary experience; it also provides a window into the inner workings of Cantu’s mind and the future of gastronomy. It both questions and challenges the diner. Offering tasting menus comprised of ten and twenty courses, Cantu stretches the imagination and takes you on a culinary adventure from the very first bite – a bite which may be taken directly from your menu, one that is printed on edible paper. Chef Ben Roche has become a leader of creativity and ingenuity in the field of pastry arts. In less than 3 years as Executive Pastry Chef of Moto in Chicago, news of Ben’s work has been the subject of numerous print articles and national television shows including Iron Chef America, Dinner: Impossible, Unwrapped, Sugar Rush and print articles including USA Today, The Chicago Sun Times, The Chicago Tribune, Fast Company Magazine and Gourmet Magazine. Ben has also been featured as a keynote speaker at prestigious gatherings around the world for his inspirational approach to innovation that influences numerous aspects of creative sciences. These appearances have included a design symposium for the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts (NIAC), Stanford University’s Design School, Taste 3 Napa Valley in both 2007 and 2008, Pop Tech’s Impact of Technology on People in Camden, Maine and numerous other venues. When asked to describe himself, Chef Roche simply states, “I like to constantly evolve existing dishes by making them slightly different every time, even when following recipes. Sometimes this ends in a failed experiment, but that’s how we learn and progress. That’s a reflection of my personality as well, evolving with the times and always being prepared for change.” NOTE: Unfortunately this segment was not available in 720p.
