6 JAN 2024 · Internet pioneer, John Kosner, President of Kosner Media, a digital media and sports consultancy and investment advisor in sports tech startups on the future of Sports. His four decades of Sports media expertise include building ESPN into the world's leading digital Sports destination; he also struck ESPN's original streaming deal with Bamtech, which led to Disney's acquisition of Major League baseball's technology firm in 2016. He argues that Sports will follow gaming into the interactive world building communities around sports players on and offline as younger fans look for new ways to engage. And he advises us to follow his old Disney colleague, Steve Jobs’ mantra: beware the status quo.

16 DEC 2023 · Chris Guillebeau, New York Times best-selling author of The $100 Startup, Side Hustle and The Happiness of Pursuit on the rise of the side gig, and its impact on the future of work. His daily podcast, Side Hustle School is downloaded two million times a month, often by listeners who have regular jobs but want to diversify their income, create more options for themselves and do more of what matters.

10 NOV 2023 · Josh Bernoff, former senior leader at Forrester, best-selling author of 'Groundswell' with Charlene Li, and ‘Build a Better Business Book’ on the relationship between ChatGPT and the book writer.
