Chet Kanojia’s new company wants to do away with ISPs—and traditional Internet as we know it. It’s starting with routers.
I feel sorry for my router. We ignore it for weeks on end. We hide it in a corner covered in spiderwebs and cords. We’ve never said anything good about it. Sometimes, we yell at it.
Toms CEO/founder Blake Mycoskie and AT&T SVP brand marketing Fiona Carter talk about the brands’ relationship, the power of VR, and more.
Back in 2009, AT&T created an ad about how its services can benefit small businesses. To illustrate that point they took a little trip to Uruguay with an entrepreneur named Blake Mycoskie, who had a little company called Toms Shoes, and launched the ad during that year’s Masters golf tournament. Not only did the spot get the telecom’s point across with a great story, it also put Toms on the map and significantly boosted sales.
For women’s health week, women-oriented condom brand Sustain wants to spark conversations about what safe sex really means.
In 2014, Meika Hollender launched Sustain, a condom brand marketed at women, empowering them to take their sexual health into their own hands. She didn’t realize how quickly she would become the target of harassment. When she explains her company’s mission, men regularly ask her whether she would like them to test out the condoms she’s selling. “Sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it isn’t,” Hollender says.
More than 40% of turnover happens within the first month, which means it’s more important than ever to engage them from day one.
If a new employee is going to quit, chances are it will happen within the first six months. More than 40% of turnover happens within the first month, and another 10% or more leave before their first anniversary, according to a study by Equifax Workforce Solutions. That means it’s more important than ever to engage them from day one.
Watch out for those line drives coming at your head.

Apps and websites are compiling volunteers’ input to help with everything from finding wheelchair ramps to overcoming cognitive impairments.
These days GPS technology can get you as close as about 10 feet from your destination, close enough to see it—assuming you can see.
Excuse us while we forget journalistic neutrality and gush about a badass airplane that will help more people get into amateur aviation.
Having been to numerous airplane launches, I can tell you with extreme confidence that it’s unusual for the CEO of an aviation company to show up to a press event in flip-flops.
For some, Suboxone is just another addiction. But for many many others it’s a lifesaver.
According to a new report in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Prince died one day before a scheduled meeting with nationally renowned opioid treatment expert, Dr. Howard Kornfield. It’s not clear exactly what kind of treatment Kornfield had planned for Prince, but the story states that the doctor is a vocal proponent of expanding the use of the drug Suboxone to treat abusers of heroin as well as opioid painkillers like the ones to which Prince is suspected of being addicted.
Hiring is fraught with unconscious bias, but Interviewing.io aims to change the game at the outset to allow only the skills to shine.
Unconscious bias is often hiding in plain sight during the hiring process. We know that simply by being human, recruiters and managers can fall prey to signals that suggest the candidate is somehow not part of their tribe. Everything from an ethnic-sounding name to checking a gender box on an application can disqualify a candidate at the resume stage, according to several studies.
The real Marc Maron has 16 years sober. The one on IFC’s “Maron” is in rehab this season. But there’s creative freedom in fictional failure.
At the start of the new season of Maron, the title character has a plan: enticing Louis CK to record a new podcast with him, to recreate an early moment of greatness. Back in the real world, Louis CK did just return to Marc Maron’s podcast, WTF, to celebrate the show’s 700th episode. The circumstances surrounding the two situations, however, illustrate how the real and fictional Marc Maron are now in wildly different places.
