All in Charity
Today we are talking with Daniel Ponciano and Grace Yao from PerScholas. Per Scholas believes that a thriving, diverse, workforce requires equitable access to education. They are educating the whole student, having given more than 20,000 students the hard and soft skills they needed to succeed. The best part of this is that they do this for free. So let's talk with them about how it all works.
E-Waste is a growing and difficult problem. It is dangerous and dirty work to recycle it, and much of the burden is carried by the poorest individuals.
Today we are talking with Loren Williams from PCs for People, which is not only helping address the e-waste problem, but bridging the digital divide as well
Immigrants to wealthy countries all over the world often send money back to family in their home country. These are called Remittances, and there is a lot of money involved.

Every year, I shave to honor Sophia Z, her mother gave a great speech at the event. In her own words why this is important.
It seems like every day we see headlines about some public company behaving badly. Whether it is environmental disasters, abuse of workers, or just plain theft, companies often don’t have an overarching mission to do good. This shouldn’t be a surprise, because the main job description for the CEO of a public company is to maximize shareholder profits.
We are continuing our conversation about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and today’s conversation is going to touch on some difficult subjects. We are going to hear some very personal stories and unpack some of the complexity of these issues.

Welcome back to another FutureTech Video Podcast. In part 2 we talk to Sandee Kastrul about her organization, i.c.stars.
I have know Sandee since 2000 when I was first introduced to I.c.stars. Sandee is a force of nature, and she seems to be at the center of tech in Chicago and around the country as she expands into new markets.

Here is the much anticipated Part 2 of our interview with Shawn O’Grady.
Today I am really excited to bring Shawn O’Grady to the show, because Shawn brings a really important perspective to the conversation. As a senior executive at Insight Enterprises, a 9 billion dollar technology reseller, he has a unique perspective on the business operations of a large company, but he is also constantly in the field talking with customers and working with them to find critical solutions to their problems, so he has a great perspective on what is happening in the industry. He has led technology companies through IPOs and mergers, and it is probably safe to say, he has seen it all in the biz.

Hello everyone, Welcome back to the first video or 2020. I put a new slightly shorter intro together, I would love to hear your thoughts. Let me know if you love it or hate it, or worse, are indifferent.
This first video is not going to be about tech. One of the other areas of focus for FUTRtech is to give something back, and that is what I am going to talk about today.
It is St Baldrick’s time again!
I will be shaving my head on January 26 to raise money for childhood cancer research, and who doesn’t want to help end childhood cancer.
