The year is heating up for Manoush Zomorodi, who is in Oxford this week speaking at the Skoll Foundation World Forum. She heads to Vancouver mid-month to speak at this year's TED conference. And this fall, her book "Bored and Brilliant: Rediscovering the Lost Art of Spacing Out" will
In another conversation from SXSW, Dan talks to Sophie Kleber, Executive Director of Product and Innovation at HUGE, about building emotional machines. AI was a major topic at SXSW this year, from concerns about machines taking jobs from humans to the amazing things that machines will be abl
This week, Manoush Zomorodi launches her next audience engagement project at WNYC and the timing couldn't be better. "The Privacy Paradox" focuses on how to stay connected without feeling intruded upon by our services and software. You can join the discussion by entering your email here. For the next 5 days you'll receive a challenge, plus tips and a short podcast explaining the science, psychology, and tech behind each.
Airbnb's new "Experiences" offer a glimpse into various subcultures. In my case, it was a specific slice of L.A's entertainment scene.
I tried out Airbnb’s new “Experiences” tours for @fastcompany… and ended up getting a deep dive into LA’s reality television subculture.
Scenes from Lean Startup Week
Posts from the whirlwind 5-day, 2,000+ attendee conference we programmed last week in San Francisco.
Today's desk is in Ponta Delgado, the administrative capital of the #azores in Portugal. We're here with #kairosspeaker @danscosta, who is giving a series of talks to academics, students, and entrepreneurs on Smart Home & IoT technologies + Big Data and Journalism. Located in the middle of the Atlantic, The Azores have been called 'secret islands' because they're still a relatively unknown travel destination. Unesco has designated 3 of the islands as biospheres, and the archipelago has been named the world's top destination for #sustainable tourism. Other benefits: delicious food, excellent wine, no pina coladas or Jimmy Buffet tunes to be found (though I did see one Hawaiian shirt). #kairostogo #digitalnomad 🇵🇹🌊 (at Hotel Marina Atlântico)
This year, Detroit, Michigan landed on Travel & Leisure’s “Best Places to Travel” list at #27. Since 2011, I’ve been traveling to Detroit regularly and was surprised, though pleased, to find it on the list. Ask anyone who lives and works in Detroit how they’re feeling about things and you’ll get spirited optimism mixed with pragmatic caution. There’s still a lot to do.
I began taking clients to Detroit to get them away from the saturated markets of New York and San Francisco, for meetings, retreats, “expeditions” and other [insert business jargon here]. It’s not easy to convince overworked executives that they should take their teams offsite to ruminate on innovation in a place that’s not a resort, doesn’t have a beach, or beds with 400-count Frette linens. But, that’s the point. Because it’s nearly impossible to understand markets, customers, or employees while sitting in a temperature-controlled ballroom with endless “refreshment breaks” and Powerpoint presentations, everyone dreaming of when they can hit the golf course. You need to hit the streets.
As a practice, we visit places we consider to be gritty and complex when working on a project - Oakland, Brooklyn, Houston, New Orleans, the underbelly of Los Angeles, to name a few - because we’re searching for the drivers of innovation, change, and creative thinking. We walk through neighborhoods, talk to locals and industry experts, dine in backroom kitchens, visit cultural institutions, and often wander off track. But we always know where we’re going (even the off-track is on track) and more importantly, where we want to end up when we wrap. The trick is finding the people and places who, somehow, show you the way to the future. Detroit continues to be a rich source of inspiration.
It's been two weeks since Moogfest, the music festival and futurist technology conference I worked on. It was a massive undertaking - 30+ venues, 333 artists/presenters, 40,000 attendees, 5.6M livestream viewers, 7M+ social media impressions, 1.2B media impressions. And, a program that went live in Durham, North Carolina (a great host city), despite the challenges of the HB2 law.
Moogfest will be back in Durham May 18-21, 2017 and if you're wondering if you should attend or sponsor or participate in some way, let's talk. Read more here:

San Antonio’s New Emma Hotel by Roman and Williams
“The Pearl, an old San Antonio brewery deftly transformed into an entire neighborhood of restaurants, shops, and an outpost of the Culinary Institute of America, has just opened a place to stay. The 146-room Hotel Emma is the work of Roman and Williams, former set designers who have become masters of the historic conversion. Several years in the making, the quarters put original curiosities, such as fermentation tanks and a giant copper engine, to clever use. And there’s an overall expansiveness and down-home grace that plants the place firmly in Texas.
The eight-story structure was designed in 1898 by August Maritzen who ultimately had more than 80 breweries to his credit and is in the Second Empire style. “ ~ Margot Guralnick
Added to the list of must-go’s.
One year in, Caroline Weaver's tiny empire of Blackwings and Ticonderogas seems to be going strong. Who's buying?
So many things in this story: the nostalgic product trend, the idea of focusing on a very specific (niche) product, the fact that her shop is above a champagne and fried chicken restaurant, the youthful approach: “I really wanted to sell people pencils.”
And I’ve just added C.W. Pencil Enterprise to my list of to-do’s.

One of the most exciting projects I'm working on right now is a music festival-tech future conference called Moogfest. Inspired by the innovative work of Bob Moog, it is a blending of music, tech, science, and art over 4 days in the indie music/bio-tech mecca of Durham, NC.
The Eagles' song "Seven Bridges Road" recorded live in concert set with a picture of the band with lyrics included.
Though we’ve lost so many amazing artists this month, the news of Glenn Frey this week has a particular sting to it. It feels as though I’ve lost a family member.
From the radio in my dad’s car to my mom’s stereo system, the soundtrack to my childhood was filled with music from The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Linda Ronstadt, JD Souther, Neil Young, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt... the bands that came rolling out of The Troubadour in the 70′s:
“The Troubadour was like a café society. Everyone was in transition. No one was getting married, no one was having families, no one was having a particular connection, so our connection was the Troubadour. It was where everyone met, where everyone got to hear everyone else's act. It was where I made all my musical contacts and found people who were sympathetic to the musical styles I wanted to explore.
We all used to sit in a corner of the Troubadour and dream. I remember one night this band, Shilo, starts doing my exact version of "Silver Threads and Golden Needles." I was flabbergasted. Shilo ultimately became the Eagles.” - Linda Ronstadt
As a kid, I spent hours pouring over their albums, reading liner notes until I knew everyone responsible for producing a record. I learned about music, about style, about attitude. I read the lyrics to understood the power of words, learned to harmonize and hear a bass line. Like a cool older sibling, these bands were a roadmap to my future, influencing the decisions I made, inspiring me to follow my instincts and passion.
So thank you, Glenn, for contributing to my life so far. It’s been amazing and I am forever grateful.

Remembering David Bowie, who fell to earth on Jan. 8, 1947 and left Jan. 10, 2016. Here are some of the NPR Music staff’s favorite Bowie songs.
The best way to remember is just to listen.
A glimpse of things to come.
Business is all about momentum, and to keep that momentum I find myself and our team solving problems creatively pretty much hourly throughout the workweek. For me creativity and resourcefulness go hand in hand, and the key to solving a problem creatively is about being able to look at it from many angles.
