Can fostering tech economy hubs in rural America and bringing better digital connectivity to rural areas deliver opportunities and reverse a “brain drain”? Ramona Schindelheim talks to Joshua Elder, vice president and head of grantmaking for Siegel Family Endowment, about efforts to do just that – on the latest Work in Progress: A WorkingNation Podcast. “I speak as someone who grew up in rural America,” Elder says. “I felt like I had to move out in order to be able to find the opportunities or pursue opportunities for things that I was interested in. I know some of that, unfortunately, is still the case.” Listen to the podcast on our website at https://bit.ly/4cFxwUx or on most major podcasting platforms.

🌟 Exciting News: tech://Save.My.World Podcast is Launching! 🎙️🌲 Wow! I'm genuinely overwhelmed by the incredible response to my last post about the campfire tech interviews idea. Your enthusiasm has inspired me to take the plunge, and I'm thrilled to announce the launch of my new media venture: the tech://Save.My.World podcast! At its heart will be meaningful conversations with tech innovators who are working to solve some of our world's biggest challenges. The twist? We're taking these talks out of sterile studios and into nature, with thoughtful discussions around a crackling campfire 🔥, surrounded by towering trees 🌳. I'm excited about this new endeavor, but I'll be honest – I'm also a bit nervous! This is a new adventure for me, and I'm sure there will be plenty of learning curves ahead. The forest and the campfire won't just be our setting – they'll be central to the entire experience, reminding us of the world we're trying to save and the primal innovations that got us here. Here's the exciting part: recording starts this week! We're aiming to push the first episode live in just a couple of weeks, so stay tuned for updates. If you know any tech visionaries who should be roasted (figuratively!) by our campfire, drop their names in the comments! Here's to technology that saves the world, one campfire chat at a time! 🌍💻 #TechForGood #Sustainability #Podcast #Innovation #SaveTheWorld

Listen to a beautiful #DVIEWS episode we recorded a while back and decided to take out of the drawer this week. Maybe you observed how #PrivateSector jargon and tools have found their way into the development sector and wonder whether this helps or hinders your meaningful work with communities. Or you are a development practitioner navigating your #Career and wondering whether to take a private sector opportunity you saw. In this and other scenarios, this episode is for you because the private and development sectors are no longer separate spheres, and it is critical that we understand each other. #Climate and #ImpactFinance professional and founder of GITA - the Global Impact Tech Alliance, Leehe Skuler, discusses with our podcast host, Hagit Krakov Cherni, what caused the increased involvement of the private sector in development efforts and how we can work together to create a win-win situation for both. Understand where catchphrases meet reality and how we can become critically thinking collaboration partners, avoiding both uncritical enthusiasm and uninformed resistance. Also in this episode: do we even speak the same language? And why our professional jargon can become an obstacle to mutually beneficial partnerships between sectors.
