00:18:17 Todd Brous: Hey Link!!!

00:20:02 Tom Cooke: https://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/starlink-internet-beta-testing-in-canada-1.5831765

00:20:34 Steven Rader: What do folks see as key catalysts for changing the way organizations do business (like adopting open talent)?

00:20:47 Steven Rader: Asking for a friend

00:20:59 Chris “Link” Duarte: Thank you Tom 🙂

00:21:30 Dyan Finkhousen: Also @Chris – check out the work Houston just completed for extended community connectivity

00:22:12 CTW: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ransierarthur/

00:23:02 Alicia Evangelista: @Chris, check out Greta Byrum’s work at New America too.  She’s all about digital equity and connectivity: https://www.newamerica.org/our-people/greta-byrum/

00:24:40 Jamie Elliott: @StevenRader – I see right timing and conditions as a catalyst, which is hard to find – but when an organization comes into a little money, has a problem for quick resolution and doesn’t have the in-house talent, pitching open talent can resonate. This can also be pitches to them as a pilot by finding the right problem to solve and asking for an investment to prove the concept works.

00:25:31 Steven Rader: Thanks Jamie!

00:25:35 CTW: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bahia-el-oddi-146a4243/

00:25:43 John Healy: @steve…there are a limited number of motivators for change, from what I have experienced fear of failure has been at the top of the list…a genuine sense that status quo will result in failure – whether driven personally, through leadership or even boards..

00:26:14 Steven Rader: @Bahia, super interested in what you are doing! Thanks for sharing!

00:26:54 Dyan Finkhousen: Fascinating @Bahia – love the concept of a human sustainability index

00:27:02 Todd Brous: @Bahia. +1

00:27:21 Dyan Finkhousen: #Rockstar

00:27:22 Paul Hlivko: @John and @Steve – yeah, I’m with John. The sales strategy depends on who the sell is to. For instance, if your CEO was a lawyer, sell it as fear and risk mitigation. If they a CFO before, sell the capital arbitrage it can create…. I think the sell is always whomever the audience is.

00:31:16 Anna Grocholsky: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annagrocholsky/

00:31:29 Steven Rader: @Bahia – your discussion of human sustainability index made me wonder if there is some ways to leverage some of the work going on with personal digital credentials/profiles could possibly capture individual’s contributions and allow those companies that use those folks to get credit by using them…. An incentive for companies to use open labor resources that are contributing in positive ways.

00:31:49 Steven Rader: <Early thought… may be a bit half baked>
