Generative AI can create content, including text, images, and even music, that is often indistinguishable from work created by humans. As generative AI systems are becoming more sophisticated and capable of performing tasks that previously required human expertise, people are increasingly worried about their livelihoods.  Sree Sreenivasan, CEO and co-founder of Digimentors, helps people and companies adapt to technology. He chats with LinkedIn News Editor Andrew Seaman on the latest episode of Get Hired to explain how to get ahead of the curve and use technological changes like generative AI to your advantage. The two also discuss why adaptability is so important in all aspects of life and how to take the first step dabbling into new technologies.  This episode is for anyone who wants to turn their fear of artificial intelligence into a learning experience.  Follow Sree on LinkedIn by clicking here.

I've come to realize that while the central themes of this podcast have been creativity, courage, and curiosity, the deepest core of this is our identity. Today, I'll be covering how some of my guests have uncovered their truest identities, whether you can truly change your identity, and what this whole identity crisis and searching is really all about.  You'll be hearing 10 excerpts from my last 100 episodes that I carefully curated because they've meant something to me, and I surmise, they can change the way you think about getting to know yourself. When it comes to our personal evolutions of who we are, I have noticed three types of moments that truly make an impact on our identities.  The first type is how traumatic experiences can put our identities in question. Such as Cepee Tabibian, Co-Founder of She Hit Refresh, who lost her two parents back-to-back and decided to leave a good Texan life for a great Spanish existence (Episode 45), and Marshall Dun, who after losing his brother to suicide, he learned how to trust himself and detach his identity from the allure of external desires and riches to become a spiritual leader. (Episode 60). The second type is those expansive moments that stretch our identities. For instance, Raphael Rowe leveraged the world of media and journalists to help him clear his name so he could eventually become a journalist himself for the BBC and on the Netflix series Inside the World's Toughest Prisons (Episode 89). The James Beard Award Recipient, Gabriele Corcos, also stretched his identity when he started out as a percussionist, then decided to become an entrepreneur, then farmer, and eventually, a politician (Episode 47). The third type is those rising moments such as when World Rugby Hall of Famer Phaidra Knight felt this push to greatness from her family, she decided to rise up to the challenge – including the challenge of expectations (Episode 17). Also, when I interviewed James Altucher back in Episodes 5 & 6, I knew I had to rise up to the occasion if I wanted to become a podcaster and interview my first multimillionaire. So I had to step up to the plate and figure it out.  You can be told to be someone by everyone and you can perform for everyone else's claps. However, ultimately, it is not until you decide to learn about what you want, and who you want to be that you will begin to truly live your life. It's that journey, which many of us avoid taking, that we can ever become who we were meant to be. You cannot watch someone else on their journey and expect to get to know yourself and change. You just have to be willing to take meaningful steps in your own evolution and feel every emotion that comes your way. My plan is to delve into these emotions next. So what emotions would you like me to feature in my next 100-podcasts? Any ones that have been a struggle? I want to hear from you! And, if you want to learn more about my Courage Makerspace online mastermind program and how it can help you boost your courage, I'm only a DM or email (Melissa[@]melissallarena.com) away.  Highlights Jonathan Arons, Episode 4 Music: You will surely get to know yourself when you are pissed off. Jonathan Arons uncovered that music was his muse and he was able to leverage his sensitivities as a child in order to find the courage to be who he has become today. Art or music is all about feeling. It's the most universal way to connect with anybody from any walk of life.  David Roberts, Episode 18 Joy: You get to know yourself when you are elated or when you have access to an experience or an emotion that makes you feel like joy is personified. New York Times bestselling illustrator David Roberts talks about imagination in this interview.  Michelle Ghilotti, Episode 7 Grief: Former Starbucks and Nike advertising executive turned entrepreneur Michelle Ghilotti decided to create an expanse during a period of her life when she had the option to recoil after losing loved ones in her life. She decided to grieve in the community while also acknowledging how other people experienced grief in their own ways. Sree Sreenivasan, Episode 11 Ask: You will get to know yourself when you have to be vulnerable and ask for help. Sree Sreenivasan, former Chief Digital Officer of New York City, used the power of social media to leverage his network and ultimately realized that people want to help.  Jeff Bollow, Episode 78 Love: You will get to know yourself when you let love in. Award-winning filmmaker Jeff Bollow shared his perspective and sense of humor on being an older dad. He offers up a metaphor for how having a son and this new identity as a dad has changed his perspective, quite a lot.   Beth Comstock, Episode 65 Mama's Love: You will get to know yourself when you let love in as a mom. Former CMO of GE, Beth Comstock talks about how being a mom helped her as a people leader. She talks about learning how to ask for help because you can't do everything. Ask your partner, your kids, and your colleagues for help. Diane Bell, Episode 21 Opportunity: You will definitely get to know yourself when doors get slammed in your face, especially if you're exploring or making your way into a new identity. Award-winning screenwriter and director Diane Bell talks about how she was going to do a movie with Mickey Rourke and then all of a sudden, she got an email that could have shattered heard, but didn't. Victor Hanning, Episode 68 Senses: You get to know yourself when you let yourself become absorbed by your senses. Witness how rockstar Victor Hanning came up with his sad songs, and how he leveraged his emotions, even sad and dark emotions to create something of beauty. And it has helped him evolve as a human as well. Muyambi, Episode 51 Passion: You get to know yourself when you can finally start to think beyond yourself. Muyambi, founder of a nonprofit called Cycle Connect talks about how we can all be passionate about issues beyond our borders. He provides practical steps in getting started with your cause-based journey. Suzy Batiz, Episode 67 Trust: You will definitely get to know yourself when you find someone who can actually see you for who you are. Self-made female millionaire, Suzy Batiz talks about how you don't have to have other people trust to look at what you've done. What can you do now without the trauma attached to it?  Courage: Get to know yourself by letting yourself see yourself for who you have become. And that takes courage. Allowing yourself to be courageous is how you let your emotions enter your life, and ultimately, guide you.  Change: Keep what you love about yourself and accept or change what you may not like very much. Make that change without shame and resentment.  Links to continue to learn from: Episode 5: https://www.melissallarena.com/james-altucher-2/ Episode 6: https://www.melissallarena.com/james-altucher/ Episode 45: https://www.melissallarena.com/cepee-tabibian-founder-of-she-hit-refresh-talks-about-traveling-aboard-building-a-global-community-for-women-and-creating-a-new-identity-episode-45/ Episode 60: https://www.melissallarena.com/how-to-find-your-higher-purpose-marshall-dunn-episode-60/ Episode 89: https://www.melissallarena.com/from-prisoner-to-presenter-raphael-rowe-gives-a-behind-the-scenes-look-into-the-netflix-show-inside-the-worlds-toughest-prisons/ Episode 47: https://www.melissallarena.com/gabriele-corcos-talks-about-continuing-to-dream-technology-and-agriculture-and-why-its-never-too-late-to-change-episode-47/ Episode 17: https://www.melissallarena.com/phaidra-knight-on-the-importance-of-equality-and-feeling-limitless-episode-17/  The 10 Episodes: Episode 2: https://www.melissallarena.com/jonathan-arons-2/ Episode 18: https://www.melissallarena.com/david-roberts-talks-about-imagination-following-our-childrens-lead-and-feedback/ Episode 7: https://www.melissallarena.com/michelle-ghilotti/ Episode 11: https://www.melissallarena.com/sree-sreenivasan/ Episode 78: https://www.melissallarena.com/award-winning-filmmaker-jeff-bollow-on-expanding-your-imagination-exponentially-episode-78/ Episode 65: https://www.melissallarena.com/granting-yourself-permission-to-explore-beth-comstock-episode-65/ Episode 21: https://www.melissallarena.com/diane-bell-screenwriter-and-director-talks-on-overcoming-obstacles-embracing-creativity-and-how-to-stand-out/ Episode 68: https://www.melissallarena.com/the-life-and-times-of-a-rockstar-with-the-former-frontman-of-the-jangletones-victor-hanning-episode-68/ Episode 51: https://www.melissallarena.com/muyambi-cycle-connect-social-entrepreneurship-episode-51/ Episode 67: https://www.melissallarena.com/suzybatiz-shares-the-wisdom-the-cherishes-for-giving-her-the-freedom-and-ability-to-trust-herself-and-accept-whatever-comes-her-wa-episode-67/  About Melissa Llarena Melissa brings a makerspace mindset that is laser-focused on creatively making space for courage for those with a big message to share with the world.

2020 has been a wild ride and because of its ups, downs, and enormous degree of uncertainty, as a result Melissa Llarena decided to put out a request for your questions when it comes to the pursuit of your goals, fulfillment of your dreams, and your eventual quest to build your legacy. Why? You matter. Your legacy matters. As far as Melissa’s purpose and ultimate ambition, she is here to see to it that you do not miss this incredible opportunity that we all have here right now to fulfill our purpose and leave a deeply meaningful legacy. So what’s Melissa’s intention behind this solo episode?   Melissa wants you to know that you are not alone in wondering the same things. She wants you to see that other people are also thinking the same thoughts. Most importantly, she wants to be of service to you and to share with you what I’ve learned through years of coaching professionals (some of whom are also workaholics) as well as having interviewed guests who have gotten to a place where they have felt a healthy obsession around their work + lives! You may have been wondering so who is Melissa Llarena the host behind this podcast?   Melissa Llarena helps workaholics achieve their goals, fulfill their dreams, and build the legacy roadmap they need to not let what they want to go unfulfilled in this lifetime. It’s not acceptable that you can have a 40-year long career or pour your heart into an employer’s dreams to have never even made a dent on achieving your own! Don’t let your life pass you by! She brings insights from having worked in 16-business units in NY, Paris, London, and Sydney. Additionally, in her former corporate career, she worked on billion-dollar brands for P&G, JPMorgan Chase, and on IBM for Ogilvy & Mather.   She's been featured in Forbes, Financial Times, WSJ, The Huffington Post, Fox Business, and others. She studied Psychology at NYU and earned her MBA from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. Most proud relaunch in 2020? She relaunched and is the host of An Interview With Melissa Llarena a podcast featuring weekly interviews with creative down-to-Earth experts (including Gary Vaynerchuk, an Olympian, a feminist U.S. Senator, and others) who are obsessed about what they do, openly reveal their tough career decisions, and whose stories will ignite a fire in your belly to help you build YOUR own out-of-the-box career. Subscribe on iTunes! Your life may never be the same again!   Listener Questions Discussed:   How can I pivot during uncertain times? Consider how Jacques Slade and Luis-Miguel Caraballo (i.e. Louie Blaka) two former teachers pivoted into their respective areas of artistry. One podcast guest optimized his life after a lay-off and Luis left a tenure track to pursue his “impractical dreams.” How can I best leverage my gifts/strengths to plot a new course forward? Take a page from World Hall of Famer in Rugby Phaidra Knight who got to the top of her sport and is now pursuing another sport. I also share how you can go from doing your activity of choice to now teaching that activity to plot a new course forward. Does your dream need to be your source of income? Such a relevant question especially for those who have creative dreams. My recent podcast guest Katherine Young and I tackled this at length and in this “Ask Me Anything” episode I share where we both landed on that answer. How do you know when it's time to move on from a dream? The value equation I am referencing here is a personal one. What are your values right now i.e. priorities? Listen to how Gabriele Corcos, a prior podcast guest, shifted his dreams from going on tour with Shakira to being a dad. How can we know God’s true purpose for our lives? That question is something everyone must find the answer to have happiness, fulfillment, and vision for their life. I address this question for you regardless of your beliefs in a God or not. Listen for the simple step you can take to hear for those signs. This idea is inspired by my podcast guest Natasha Sutton. Take a listen. How do I build confidence when selling my brand online? This is such a great question. It was covered during my podcast chat with Sree Sreenivasan the former Chief Digital Officer of The Met. Sree shared his best wisdom during our full episode that everyone needs to hear. However, in my response to this answer here, I do drop a hint referring to Sree’s 7-minute confidence boosting rule. How do you build your network when everything is online? Robbie Samuels, a prior podcast guest, is the person you’ll want to learn more about because our conversation is where my answer to this question comes from. In a nutshell, anyone can learn how to Zoom network effectively! What is the most underrated skill to have when interviewing for a new job? My Tuck classmate Hans Reichstetter has great advice pertaining to what most job candidates don’t do during job interviews yet do impress him. And as a career coach, I know this impresses even the pickiest hiring managers! Have you personally Melissa planned things (ex.: to launch a podcast, create a group coaching program, etc.), or have you been winging it? Stay tuned for my interview with Asha Curran the co-founder of GivingTuesday! Our interview will be live on January 5th so be sure to subscribe to An Interview With Melissa Llarena on iTunes for instant access. In my answer to this question, I share my thinking of doing dares and incorporating them into my business plans for fun.   Quotes:   “2020 was the year to pivot.

Normally I come out with a new episode of "Insider Interviews" every Thursday, but did you know that I also have another podcast? It's sort of my personal passion project and it's called "It's Quite a Living", and it's with "my friends in high places". They're really casual conversations about some high profile people who happen to be my friends. Now, that one comes out every other Tuesday. So I've decided to make "Insider Interviews" -- the B2B one speaking with those in media marketing and advertising -- come out every other Thursday...at least through the summer. Of course, if an eager sponsor* wants me to produce more frequently bring it on! Otherwise, you'll hear Episode 11 NEXT Thursday. Frankly, it's been a LOT to create, host and post two podcasts a week, even though I love it -- especially during our current times, and especially since I seem to be developing a reputation for singing to my guests. Listeners understand that.... But do stay subscribed because you won't want to miss the CEO of Quigley Simpson, Carl Fremont, who will be my very interesting next guest! And now you have some time in between to catch up on the past 10 episodes with amazing folks like Minjae Ormes of Visible, Claude Silver of Vayner Media, Sree Sreenivasan (don't miss his #NYTimesReadalong on Sundays!), Rachael Henke of Dell Technologies, and guests from NYI, Tidal Wave Productions, Krantz Media and more! I'm very, very proud of what we've been able to do together to bring you great content about the industry. And I really appreciate all of the great ratings you've given me and the subscribing and sharing. You can listen just about anywhere you like (although Pandora is still a hold out, I'm just sayin'.) Thank you for telling everyone in the industry. It means a lot to me. *And, if you want to sponsor an episode of EITHER podcast, or suggest a guest for "Insider Interviews", please reach out at podcasts@mossappeal.com. I'm "hear" for you! E.B.

My work is creating content that drives change. Mostly for businesses. But I have always shared my perspective through content: journalism, blogs, podcasts -- even just journaling. I had to balance the "best practices" of regularity in my podcast publishing schedule, with bigger things in mind. The crisis in America. I only had Tuesday available to record for this week, which was #BlackOutTuesday. And, on top of that, today - the Thursday I publish -  is also the memorial for a martyr to racism, George Floyd.  If you - as most listeners to this podcast - work in media, marketing or advertising, chances are you know of Minjae Ormes. Most recently global head of partnerships for YouTube, and for the past couple of years chief marketing officer of disruptive phone service from Verizon, Visible. She personally has been visible for her innovative, and appropriately "disruptive" approaches to marketing the new service, but more recently she's been seen in various trades and on panels describing how they've embraced broadcast TV campaigns for the first time. That said, Minjae is also widely respected as a mentor to women in business, and a role model as leader. E.B. and Minjae Ormes after our first interview in 2019 Her thoughtful comments - both in this interview as well as in sharing more of her personal journey the first time I interviewed her in March of 2019 -- on learning to adapt to new cultures and countries are as insightful as her marketing approaches are. So, since she made the time for me on her actual birthday this week, we made sure to discuss not just her shift from event marketing to mass media, etc., but -- like in my last episode with Sree Sreenivasan -- the absolute need to embrace empathy in our professional and personal paths. I think you'll get her tone from this quote: "How do we first and foremost create the kinds of experiences that people expect now across the industry? Just the simplicity, the seamlessness, but also the humanity with which you show up as a brand and a business." She also explains their pandemic pivot: "going into April, our traffic and some of the KPIs were actually picking right back up, which told us that phone services are one of those things that people rely on, no matter what happens, if not more so now. It's been an interesting exercise, both in listening, but also... as all of us as marketers can't really do create a production the way we used to it created spaces for us to think about what's old is new and new is old again, and different ways to ultimately listen to consumers and what they're telling us implicitly and explicitly for us to follow their lead." Another visible difference in Minjae's approach? Making a difference in people's lives. Literally. Hear her description of their pro-social campaign, #VisibleActsofKindness, and the story of one customer that moved her most, plus how they supported volunteers forced to immediately return from Peace Corps volunteering. A final note, while Visible's difference is that it has no brick and mortar locations, many of its parent company retail stores were looted and stripped bare during protests this week. Verizon also just donated $10 million to social justice organizations, including the Urban League and NAACP. So to honor the legacy of necessary change that we will hopefully learn from the death of Floyd, I am publishing on his memorial date so these words might inspire some to consider how they listen, and how they market to all people, with respect.   https://www.facebook.com/GLBLCTZN/videos/3013614902067591/  

As we crave connection during these isolating times, Sree Sreenivasan has stepped up to bring people around the world together, sometimes several times a day. While almost 80 straight days in a row of recording his Global COVID-19 show drove his family to furlough him from his own home during livestreaming hours, this social and digital media expert, known by many as “@Sree”, has an expanded family of connections that faithfully gather round for a dose of positivity. And every Sunday, they tune-in again for his New York Times “readalong,” now five years running, with his own scintillating and scholarly guests perusing the paper and op-eds alongside him. So, that's 80 days in a row and literally twice on Sunday. Did I mention his 21 years of conducting Social Media Weekend gatherings to educate on the latest tools and tactics? How about his frequent appearances on radio, or CNBC as a tech-expert? Hear why this the former chief digital officer for The Metropolitan Museum of Art is now focused on the art of generous content both altruistically and, candidly, as a business development vehicle for his digital marketing and virtual event business. Less generous, perhaps, in his opinion of social ISSUES, Sree’s stories – from adjusting to new countries and his quirky love of comic strip Calvin and Hobbes to how he adopted new communication tactics to connect people through every crisis of the past two decades – are equally passionate. The throughline is also his ardent belief in journalistic integrity, veracity and humanism. We joke about how his livestreams and social sharing are the perfect outlet for a man who likes to talk, but with Sree, people want to listen. He’s learned the art of that, too. Listen to the inaugural Marshall Loeb visiting professor at Stonybrook University, and former Columbia University journalism professor,  Sree Sreenivasan, and you’ll hear why. We also discuss: His humble and sometimes humiliating path to acculturating to America The evolution and promise of his Global COVID-19 Show How reading the New York Times out loud on Facebook Live become bigger than he could have imagined How he competes with – or defers to his wife, Roopa How that love for Calvin and Hobbes has played a role in his life

Back by popular demand: Prof. Sree Sreenivasan, the globally connected digital mentor, on what you can be doing right now -- in the teeth of the jobs crisis -- to reinforce and expand your professional network and profile. He joined from his apartment in Manhattan.

In 2016, I attended Sree’s Social Media Weekend #SMWKND in NYC. As a participant, I felt like I was guzzling water from a fire hydrant. Sree along with other powerful digital thought leaders were on fire. They were helping attendees uncover what was next and what should be ignored pertaining to social media and its otherwise overwhelming technologies. In a nutshell, I implemented several learnings from that memorable experience and was delighted when he agreed to be interviewed. Sree taught for 20-years at Columbia Journalism School. He also worked for the Metropolitan Museum of Art as well as the City of New York both as a Chief Digital Officer. He was named one of Fast Company's 100 Most Creative People in Business in 2015 as well as the world's most influential Chief Digital Officer by CDO Club in 2016. Today, Sree is back in the classroom at Stony Brook University in NY and has embraced the new era of consultancy work by co-founding Digitmentors a new kind of digital consultancy firm that operates worldwide. Meanwhile, you can find Sree every Sunday at 8:30 am ET for four years now, as the host of a #NYTReadalong, reading the print NYT out loud on FB Live. He often has guests from various fields, including occasional NYT reporters and editors. Tune in to hear Sree’s thoughts pertaining to: A memorable moment during Social Media Weekend 2016 when April Reign who created the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite (Twitter @ReignOfApril) shared her 2020 Oscars hopes and dreams. How he personally managed through what could have been the worst moment of his life when he was let go from the Metropolitan Museum of Art - (Twitter #3MetYears) Why marketers in particular need to be better at telling their story than anyone else and why your story is the most important story of all. How to avoid being overwhelmed with so much information when it comes to the world of social media A shift from “big sea” to “small sea” communications including thoughts on microcommunities. Why he translated his name into Mandarin on LinkedIn and how you can attract opportunities in other countries too. The “American Dream” especially when it comes to making sacrifices to live in the U.S. A formula anyone can apply to their own social media strategy. His beliefs on everyone having a story and what it may take to uncover yours. Listen to hear how Sree thinks about this question which is certainly top of mind for both traditional as well as digital native companies these days around the world. How can companies who currently have a mix of traditional experts, tradigitals, and native digitals create more opportunities where the best ideas can rise to the top and ultimately win the day?

June 8, 2016 Not How We Do It Dr. John Kotter & MET Musuem CDO Sree Sreenivasan

Sree Sreenivasan (@Sree) is the first Chief Digital Officer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the latest step in what he calls "a three-decade, one-way love affair with one of the world's greatest museums." At the Met, he leads a 70-person team on topics he loves: digital, web, social, mobile, video, apps, data, geolocation, email and more. He joined the Met after spending 20 years at Columbia University as a member of the faculty of the Columbia Journalism School and a year as the university's first Chief Digital Officer. I first had the opportunity to meet Sree as I introduced him as the keynote speaker at Edu Web Digital Summit. His all by mobile presentation style caught my attention and his love of technology made him the perfect guest for the podcast. In addition to his role as CDO, he also has a podcast of his own (The @Sree Show) which can be found at http://www1.play.it/audio/sree-show/.  This Week On Why I Social, Sree and I talk about: The importance of mobile His passion for technology The value of museum culture  This Week's Episode (and don't forget to subscribe!)  iTunes (Direct Link) Stitcher Radio (Direct Link) The Why I Social podcast is brought to you by Zoomph.

News and media organizations have been undergoing similar challenges to those facing museums in the digital age, with increased competition for attention, challenges to old models of authority, and the need to develop new kinds of business models and modes of practice in response to changing technological, social, and economic conditions. So what can museums learn from news and media organizations in order to change and adapt their practices to work effectively in an increasingly online and social media context? In this episode, the Punks dig into these questions with a little help from Paul Schmelzer, Web Editor at the Walker Art Center, and Sree Sreenivasan, new Chief Digital Officer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Both Schmelzer and Sreenivasan come to the museum sector with backgrounds in the media and significant experience in journalism, and their insights reflect the importance of these skills in the contemporary museum. Does the responsiveness of social media change the pace at which museums must work, and what opportunities does it open up for new kinds of practice?

SAJA, the South Asian Journalists Association, representing 1,000+ journalists in the US and Canada, present their latest SAJA Briefing. Join Anup Kaphle, digital foreign editor of the Washington Post and Sree Sreenivasan, Columbia University's Chief Digital Officer as we discuss one of the biggest crises in four decades of Bangladeshi history. Our speakers: Maneeza Hossain, senior fellow at Hudson Institute, specializing in prospects of democracy in South Asia and the Middle East and has written extensively on Bangladesh; and Zain Al-Mahmood, a journalist based in Dhaka, covering Bangladesh for WSJ. His interests are politics, human rights and sustainable development. For the last 4 weeks, Bangladesh has been convulsed by the Shahbagh movement. What started as the protest of bloggers against a back-door deal between the government and the opposition Islamist party Jamaat-e-Islami, has mushroomed into continuous street protests against the war criminals of Bangladesh's 1971 liberation war. During the brutal war that gave birth to Bangladesh, the genocidal campaign of the Pakistan army was assisted by local Bengali collaborators, known as "razakars." In 2011, the Awami League government began long-delayed war crimes trials against some of the alleged razakars, most of whom are now top ranking leaders of the country's largest Islamist party, the Jamaat-e-Islami. But the unexpectedly lenient sentencing of Quader Mollah, known as the "Butcher of Mirpur," set off the protests that snowballed into Shahbagh, filling the streets with up to 500,000 protesters, mos
