In this week’s episode we discuss corporate DEI mandates, financial surveillance at the Securities and Exchange Commission, medical fraud among Alzheimer’s researchers, and why Congress should defund green energy subsidies. Our interview this week is with Gary Shapiro, CEO of the Consumer Technology Association and author of the recent book Pivot or Die: How Leaders Thrive When Everything Changes. We talk about the impacts of Covid-19, succeeding as an entrepreneur, responding to market forces, and why the government does not know enough to plan tomorrow’s technologies.
