Hannah Raudsepp - the founder of Honest Beef Company. Grew up on a cattle ranch in Nebraska, and took for granted that I understood how steak ended up on my plate. After moving to Boston, she realized that for most people, the beef supply chain is a mysterious system that lacks transparency and often times, quality. She found myself constantly defending her family's livelihood, and became determined to do something about it. Honest Beef was born out of a symbiotic passion for the families who raise cattle, and a desire to give American consumers transparency into where their food comes from. Honest Beef Companywww.honestbeefco.com Honest Beef connects people directly with ranchers, allowing them to "crowdsource" a cow and know exactly where their food comes from, how it was raised, and by whom. Honest Beef has eliminated 60% of the conventional beef supply chain, offering a premium, dry-aged product delivered to your doorstep. We are chatting about the following.. 1) what the typical beef supply chain looks like, 2) why there's not currently transparency in beef, 3) what the biggest misconceptions about beef are, 4) the level of transparency we strive to achieve, 5) what it means to "dry-age" beef and why it's different from supermarket beef, 6) the story of our small-town butchers, and ultimately, 7) why Honest Beef Company is different. www.honestbeefco.com

John Salzinger, CEO and Founder of www.mpowred.com Chats with Positive Phil https://mpowerd.com/pages/about A native New Yorker and born entrepreneur, John co-founded MPOWERD with the idea that innovative companies have a responsibility to lead – not only in the marketplace, but as a real force for good. He launched and managed several global media, tech and finance companies before starting MPOWERD, where he’s been a guiding force behind pretty much every aspect of the company’s strategy. From business growth to sales, marketing and product development (he even holds a Luci patent), John does it all. Outside the office, you’d most likely find him practicing his jump shot on the court or surfing waves. WHAT They MAKE In 2012 we created Luci®, an inflatable solar light, with the goal of making an affordable clean energy product that people could use in any situation — from outdoor camping adventures to backyard parties to everyday living for people in developing countries without electricity. Luci taps into a source of light that’s limitless and readily available to everyone on our planet — the sun. Advancements in renewable tech have given us the means to literally put the power of the sun into a device that fits in the palm of your hand. WHY They DO IT With Luci, we were aiming for something much bigger than convenience. We want to empower the lives of the 1.5 billion people living without electricity in developing countries. So we made a light that’s clean and safe – pretty much the opposite of the toxic and expensive kerosene lamps so many depend on – because life doesn’t stop after the sun goes down. HOW They HELP We founded MPOWERD on a sustainable business model that allows us to provide our clean and safe solar lights to people in developing countries at prices they can afford.

Robby Sorensen CEO and Founder www.fingerpuppetsinc.com As a company, Finger Puppets Inc. sets out to do for our artisan-producers all of the things they can not do for themselves; branding, marketing, packaging, freight forwarding, toy safety compliance, insurance, barcodes, warehousing & distribution, international sales, the list goes on… All with the intention of opening up one of the world’s poorest, most remote and isolated regions to a global market, creating life-changing opportunities for a marginalized population who contend with extreme poverty. Kids are spending more time than ever in front of screens, and child development experts, along with concerned adults, worry that electronic gadgets might substitute for important interaction. According to a 2014 UCLA psychology study, children’s social skills may be declining as they have less time for face-to-face interaction due to their increased use of digital media. The advent of mobile technology enables today’s youth to access and engage with screens 24/7 outside of school, while in cars, on vacations, in restaurants, and even in bed. A recent poll found that children’s access to these kinds of devices has grown fivefold in the last two years. Nearly 3 in 5 parents expressed concern about the amount of time their kids spend in front of a screen. Some strong connections have been made about a sedentary lifestyle and obesity and other related medical problems. An easy solution: Learning through play is a vital aspect of childhood, and experts say your child should be encouraged to do so every day. Finger Puppets help promote a wide range of developmental aspects. The simple act of offering your child a few puppets can do wonders for their language, social-emotional, cognitive and physical development. Best of all, they aren’t just for children, ThumbThings Handmade Finger Puppets bring out the kid in all of us!

P.K. Agarwal, an accom­plished exec­u­tive whose dis­tin­guished career in high tech spans the public, pri­vate, and non­profit sec­tors, has been appointed regional dean and CEO of North­eastern University-​​Silicon Valley. http://www.northeastern.edu/siliconvalley/ Experiential learning has been adopted by primary, secondary, and higher education institutions across the nation and, in fact, the globe. In as early as the 4th century B.C., Aristotle said, “For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.” This embodies the essence of experiential learning—that theory is not comprehensively understood until it is applied. Since then, the concept of experiential learning, and the research supporting its benefits, have evolved. Through the 1960s and 1970s, many psychologists, sociologists, and educators dedicated resources to prove what we innately knew to be true: Doing is the best way to learn. Research results confirm this; children acquire knowledge most effectively when they have hands-on learning opportunities and experience facts within specific and structured contexts. Coincidentally, our adult brains work the same way. That is why, for more than a century, Northeastern has infused experiential learning components into all curricula. The launch of Northeastern University—Silicon Valley in March 2015 is simply the next step in demonstrating the university’s long-standing commitment to experiential learning. Since announcing this hub, we have received several questions; below are some of the most frequently asked ones. As the first in a series of educational hubs embedded directly in companies across the Bay Area, Northeastern University—Silicon Valley was conceived to educate more working professionals in the Silicon Valley region and beyond in science, technology, engineering, and math. How is this hub different from what Northeastern has already been doing? It is the first hub to be co-located with an entrepreneurial and widely respected industry partner, Integrated Device Technology, a company led by a Northeastern alum who understands the importance of facilitating real-world tech education in this region. Northeastern has 8,000 dedicated square feet and plans to serve as an incubator for top-tier talent, producing students with graduate degrees and certificates who have real-world, marketplace relevance. What degrees are offered at the hub? Students can choose from degree programs in growing fields related to the region’s powerful technology sector. Northeastern faculty members teach these courses online and in a hybrid model that integrates online and classroom learning. The first programs to be offered in a hybrid format are the master’s degree in engineering management and two certificates: one in in data science and one in leading and managing technical projects. Students can also choose from more than 100 online degree and certificate programs. The hub lies on 8,000 dedicated square feet within IDT’s facilities. Students can choose from an online, on-campus, or hybrid format—whichever best suits their educational path and professional obligations. Students will partner with regional businesses to enhance the educational experience. How will students benefit? Students will work with learning experts and industry partners as part of an education model that is driven by cognitive science, informed by employers, and powered by experiential learning. Students have the added benefit of the university’s 220,000-plus local and international alumni who serve as resources for mentorship, corporate residencies, and career trajectory advice. In addition, students enrolled at Northeastern University—Silicon Valley will be able to bring their real-world work projects and challenges into the classroom to discuss and dissect with fellow students and industry-leading faculty members. Why this matters: Silicon Valley and other tech-focused regions throughout the nation have...

Someone Special Uniquely Personalized Books creates personalized picture books for children with special needs. They spread the message of acceptance, awareness, and kindness for all children. Someone Special Uniquely Personalized Books ... http://www.someonespecialbooks.com Currently they have 13 different books covering special needs such as Autism, Down Syndrome, Epilepsy, Cerebral Palsy, and Diabetes. The inspiration for the company came from the co-founder's daughter Maya who was born with a rare metabolic condition called Propionic Acidemia. Maya's body does not process protein properly. When Maya was getting ready to go to school, Heather needed to find a way to keep her healthy, happy, and safe so she created a picture book to explain Maya's special need to her classmates. The book was extremely helpful to the teacher, classmates, and Maya. It was at that moment Heather, and cofounder Kate, realized they could help millions of other children with special needs.

The internet of things (IoT) is the network of physical devices, vehicles, buildings and other items—embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity that enable these objects to collect and exchange data.I recently had a disruptive advertising technology company on the show and we had an engaging conversation about how important it is to add context to content and I wanted to share some of that technology with you. Mark Politi www.discover-able.com Chats With Positive Phil. Very similar to Proximity Beacons, they embed a high frequency tone inside any piece of TV, Advertising, Music and Video Games content and when the mobile app has it's microphone optin into, they can send a hyperlink to the Mobile phone. But unlike Proximity Beacons, their Audio Beacons do not use bluetooth and don't require hardware. Example for Music and Sporting Venues ….a high frequency tone is embedded inside the music or audio being played…When the audio tone goes off, the mobile phone (which has opted in and have microphone turned on) can receive the audio tone and is sent a hyperlink to ecommerce, promotion, contest or anywhere else we sent it to. Companies spend money creating demand to get the consumer to the event...then they spend even more money to engage them while at the event...but what really happens during and then after the event... Personally, I'm not searching on my phone for a link to ecommerce or a coupon - I want it delivered to me while i'm at the event... this is the change we have to be ready for. Anything successful has context. Remember this. You’re going to need it as we move in to 2017. Social media has given consumers a voice, and finally many of us are starting to listen. It’s also given brands and businesses a platform from which to speak. Communication between brands and consumers has become a 2-way street, and content marketing has taken center stage. We share information, post (hopefully) valuable content, and engage with our social networks. This is great —we have learned so much more about our target audiences as well as how to listen to what they’re saying and glean valuable data. The next step—it’s time to use what we’ve learned. It’s not enough to just be social. Now it’s time to be smart and focus our content into the right context. Here’s where content marketing moves into context marketing. Context will matter more than ever before. We’re listening better, we’re learning more, and we’re developing the technology and skills to better target, personalize, and deliver messaging at just the right time, in just the right space, to just the right person. . High traffic and social engagement don’t amount to much and provide very little ROI if it’s not done in the proper context. Are u ready to get aroused and positively stir it up. In our house.
