Living in a Distracted World with Brian Solis

Tuesday, December 17, 2019

DocuSign Executive Briefing Center

221 Main St., San Francisco, CA

5:30 – 8:00 pm





Brian Solis is a long-time friend of SF New Tech going back to our very early days. He’s also a Silicon Valley veteran having helped launch and advise countless startups, enterprise technology companies and brands around the world.



Brian will join us for a special evening to host an important conversation about the relationship we have with technology and also share insights from his new best-seller, Lifescale: How to Live a More Creative, Productive and Happy Life



In Lifescale, Brian explores the incredible effects of digital distraction on our personal and professional lives and what we need to do about it.



Are distractions running your life? Join the conversation — and let’s get after it.






Somewhere along the way, we got distracted. As much as we multitask, love our devices and feel like we’re in control, deep down we know that something is off. Shortened attention spans, declines in critical thinking, lack of sleep, self-doubt and decreased creativity are just some of the effects coming to light in an age of digital distraction.



It’s time to reclaim our lives. It’s time to take control.



Lifescale is a journey of self-discovery and growth. It’s about getting back into balance and remastering our destinies. Author Brian Solis knows first-hand. He struggled with distraction and all of its ill-effects. To get his life back, he developed a set of techniques, exercises, and thought experiments designed to tame the chaos, and positively and productively navigate our day-to-day lives. Instead of falling victim to the never-ending cycle of newsfeeds, Likes, addictive apps, and boredom scrolling (aka the endless scroll), we can learn to manage our time and inspire our own lives in a way that will bring meaning back—without sacrificing the benefits that our devices bring us.



In Lifescale, Brian has done the legwork to pull together scientific findings and practical tools into one book. Readers—especially those who are distracted—will connect with the humor, pathos, and inspiration inside. Using this book’s simple but powerful lessons, we can:



â—™ Identify sources of distraction and turn attention toward creativity and productivity



â—™ Understand and resist the manipulative techniques that turn us into digital addicts



â—™ Find meaning and purpose to guide our time in more meaningful ways



â—™ Visualize future success to successfully dive into deep work and stop procrastinating



â—™ Break bad habits, establish rituals and routines that help you achieve goals



â—™ Nurture imagination and learn to express ourselves more artistically



â—™ Maximize productivity with simple but effective strategies



â—™ Focus for extended periods and make breaks more restorative



â—™ Foster a strong sense of purpose in life and identify the steps needed to bring it to life every day



â—™ Smile more and build self-esteem



With the renewed perspective Lifescale offers, we can finally learn to prioritize what matters, and live our digital and physical lives with intention and true happiness.



About Brian



Brian Solis is a world-renowned digital analyst, anthropologist and futurist who has been called “one of the greatest digital analysts of our time.” Brian is also a world-class keynote speaker and an 8x best-selling author. His latest books include, Lifescale: How to Live a More Creative, Productive and Happy Life, X: The Experience When Business Meets Design, and What’s the Future of Business aka WTF.



Based in Silicon Valley, Solis studies disruptive technologies and its impact on business as well as innovation, experience design, culture dynamics and digital behaviors. Through his research and published work, he humanizes disruptive trends to help leaders understand how technology, markets and people are evolving and how to drive innovation and growth.

Modern Wellbeing and The Ironies of Turning to Tech to Become More Human

— How Tech Changes Our Minds, Bodies, Communities, and Spaces —

Presented by Jeremiah Owyang

Thursday, August 29, 2019

DocuSign Executive Briefing Center

221 Main St., San Francisco, CA

5:30 – 8:00 pm
,



Modern Wellbeing is trending on Main Street — and it’s big business with serious ramifications.



Jeremiah Owyang, Founder of Kaleido Insights, has identified another powerful technology trend where consumer-grade technologies, powered by tech giants, are enabling humans to augment their thoughts, emotions, bodies, and relationships with others.



In this dynamic presentation, he’ll define “modern wellbeing” by illustrating the four areas being augmented by technology, sharing key case studies, and showcasing some of the leading technology providers.



The modern wellbeing trend isn’t just a rose-colored road; there are serious concerns around privacy, power shifting to Silicon Valley, and the core purpose of the human condition.



Jeremiah will explore these challenges, as well as provide additional trend data, funding information, and forecast future implications.



* Learn about research-based insights on the “well-tech” space.



* Find out why Calm is now valued at a billion dollars, with its customers being large enterprise organizations.



* Find out how Apple now has more information about our well being than our primary care doctors, and how consumers and citizens are turning to Silicon Valley for their wellbeing — rather than traditional health institutions



* And more.

On Thursday, June 27th, join us as we dive deep into the Internet of Everything: Here, There, and Everywhere.



It’s a known fact that building hardware — and hardware companies — is just plain hard. From managing the supply chain to the challenges of harnessing big data, companies that are on the leading edge of the IoT revolution are finding that it takes more than a good idea to bring a product to market. Layer in the massive expense of R&D, fabrication, and an ever-growing list of expenses to combat in the Bay Area, the companies that are leading the charge in IoT are forced to deploy creative tactics to break from the crowd.



Join us and senior executives from Iris Automation, Copper, Metropolitan Intelligence, Nodel, and Grush who will share their experiences and best practices of growing their companies both here in the Bay Area and up in Reno, NV, where a new hot pocket of IoT companies is starting to form.



Speakers:

* Grace McKenzie, Director of Operations & Controller, Iris Automation (SF & Reno)

* Doug Richey, CEO, Copper (Reno)

* Stephanie Hayden, CEO & Founder, Metropolitan Intelligence (Oakland)

* Garrett Kinsman, Co-Founder, Nodle (SF)

* Ethan Daniel Schur, Co-Founder, Grush (SF)





Agenda:

Ubertrends — How Trends And Innovation Are Transforming Our Future

Monday, April 29, 2019

DocuSign Executive Briefing Center

221 Main St., San Francisco, CA

5:30 – 8:00 pm





*** The first 50 tickets are 50% off with the code UBERTRENDS ***





On Monday, April 29th, you’re invited to join us for a very special evening with Michael Tchong, renowned futurist and author of “Ubertrends — How Trends And Innovation Are Transforming Our Future” his newly released book on what’s coming down the pike . . . and why.


Are You Connected to the Future?


A sage Spanish proverb goes, “Life is a series of collisions with the future.” How will this future develop and what impact will it have on business and society? The first step is understanding what undercurrents are reshaping our world. The biggest colliding forces with the future are called Ubertrends.


These Ubertrends are reshaping society in remarkable ways.



That explains why LinkedIn’s top trending topic in 2017 was “Change Readiness.” Are you ready to collide with cryptocurrencies? How about robots and AI? Is arriving via an Uber Elevate flying taxi augmented reality enough for you?



The forces driving these breakthrough innovations are massive waves, called Ubertrends, that are reshaping our world at heightening velocities. In an exhilarating ride through the “landscape of now,” Michael Tchong will paint a riveting tableau of a world recast by these powerful phenomena.



It’s challenging to keep pace with the changing data points in a digital world. Michael provides uncanny insights plus actionable thought starters to help spark the necessary dialog and creativity to connect you with the future.



Michael is an adjunct professor of innovation and social media at the University of San Francisco and has just released his third book, “Ubertrends — How Trends And Innovation Are Transforming Our Future” which is designed to help readers discover how Ubertrends and innovations are changing us and why.



Agenda:

* 5:30 – 6:00 pm Networking + Refreshments

* 6:00 – 7:30 pm Ubertrends and Q&A

* 7:30 – 8:00 pm Book Signing & More Networking

Crossing The Talent Gap

DocuSign Executive Briefing Center

221 Main St., San Francisco, CA

5:30 – 8:00 pm



*** The first 50 tickets are 50% off with the code TALENTGAP ***



Is there a talent gap? You bet there is!



On Wednesday, March 6th, join us as we tackle the talent gap head-on and explore timely recruitment issues and what successful scaling and measured growth should look like.



Senior talent executives from Bombora, Figure, Brightback, and Anaplan will dive deep into a discussion on the challenges, and the wins, of finding and retaining top talent in this frothy and bubbly market and will juxtapose the SF market to smaller ecosystems like the fledgling startup and tech scene that’s popping up in Reno. Who knew, right? The backstory is below.



Speakers:

* Cristina Gutierrez, Senior Director, Talent, Figure (SF, Reno)

* Lindsey Dal Porto, Head of Talent, Bombora (Reno, SF, NYC)

* Krystal Smith, Head of Talent & Ops, Brightback (SF)

* Pete Lawson, Global Director of Talent Acquisition, Anaplan (Global)

THE BACKSTORY



There’s trouble in paradise — what was once a no-brainer is now a huge question mark.



It’s not new news that Bay Area tech workers are realizing there’s more to life than just trying to get by. Some say SF is done — put a fork in it. Really, who wants to share a $5,000 one bedroom apartment in a neighborhood littered with needles and human waste with 4+ other glassy-eyed and over-worked geeks? And forget about starting a family in this town — you’ll be strapped before you know it. Especially if, or more likely when, your startup goes belly up.



The quest for quality talent in the Bay Area is creeping into a new era as more-and-more skilled workers are bolting for the border.



What’s an engineer with a lust for life to do? Head for the hills? Well, maybe — yes!



Enter Reno, the new SOMA.



Just on up over the hill the pioneering grit and innovative spirit run strong and startups are popping up all over the place. There’s good reason Tesla, Apple, Google, Microsoft, eBay, Blockchains, Figure, Bombora, and many other game-changers are boots down in Reno. They’re on to something.



Reno is a quick 45-minute flight to/from SFO. Or, if you prefer, 3.5 hours in a car with good tunes. Either way, you can be at meetings in downtown SF and back again with less effort than riding the N-Judah.



Life is on sale in Reno: the cost of living and the cost of doing business is discounted 40% less than what you’re paying the Bay Area. Add in cheap(er) real estate, zero traffic, close proximity to Lake Tahoe and its amazing mountains, and the absence of corporate and personal income tax and BOOM — the Biggest Little City is shines with opportunity. And if Burning Man is your thing, Reno is the gateway to the Playa and you can feel it.



Reno is on the rise in startup world, and San Francisco is listening.



Grab a seat and let’s cross the talent gap, together.



This event is sponsored by our friends in Reno Tahoe — where the secret is out! Get in touch and learn more!

Ahoy!



On Wednesday, May 2, in partnership with Santa Cruz Works, we’re shining a light on hot new tech from Santa Cruz: The Pirates of Santa Cruz Valley!



From electric skateboards and IOT for water consumption to new payment systems and dog food delivery — you’ll be knee-deep in some of the best new tech to come out of Santa Cruz.



The first 20 tickets are FREE.

Early birds score $15 tickets, late birds pay $20.



Light beverages and food will be served.



Arrrrrg, matey — join us!

Event Details

According to the latest iteration of CrunchBase’s yearly study on female founder representation in U.S.-based startups, only 17 percent of companies had at least one female founder in 2017 — the same percentage found in CrunchBase’s first study on the subject in 2009! When it comes to funding, the image is slightly encouraging with women capturing a little more venture capital for their companies last year than in previous years, as Fortunehighlights. On all fronts, female-led startups still have a long way to go. For women not born in the U.S., the road to entrepreneurship is paved with added obstacles.

In honor of Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day, we’re gathering a panel of promising international female founders and VCs to shed light onto — and offer constructive solutions to — the continued lack of representation of women in tech leadership roles. Led by Adriana Gascoigne, founder and CEO of renowned international organisation Girls in Tech, our panelists will discuss the shortage of VC funding going to female-led companies and other unique roadblocks female founders face in tech, share their most effective coping mechanisms and strategies, their advice for women starting their own companies, and more.

As always, we will open the discussion up to the audience. Please bring your questions for our panelists!

Here’s how it all went down last year …

Welcome to The Future!



Monday, September 19th

Covo @ 981 Mission, SF, CA

5:30 – 9:30 pm



Join us for a conversation with Gary Shapiro, President and CEO of the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), author of the New York Times best-seller “Ninja Innovation: The Ten Killer Strategies of the World’s Most Successful Businesses”, and the man behind CES – “The Global Stage for Innovation”, every January in Las Vegas, with 170,000 of his closest friends — and Andy Grignon, Managing Director & Partner at Siberia San Francisco, and noted Lead Engineer on the iPhone development team at Apple, where he was the recipient of the very first iPhone call from Steve Jobs who affectionately referred to him as “F*ckchop“.



Both are futurists. Both are renegades. Both have unique Ninja insights on what’s around the corner. Together, they’ll dive deep into a spirited conversation on top tech trends worth watching… and tech trends worth ignoring.



From drones to AI, VR to self-driving vehicles, IOT to WTF — expect a no-holds barred discussion on what The Future holds for us all.



Before we blast off into uncharted territory, the evening will kick-off with 2 hours of networking over cold beer from the Covo taproom and free tacos from SFNT’s famous taco truck (thanks to Sonic).



After Gary and Andy, we’ll open the room up for a Q & A and look forward to hearing your thoughts on what’s on the horizon.



This event will be held at Covo, a brand new awesome workspace and community of thinkers, doers, and collaborators committed to making change in the world while living life to the fullest. Join us and be a part of the conversation!



See you in The Future!

The Great Work Cultures Credo

Great Work Cultures is a community dedicated to unleashing the power within every human organization. In working together, we have learned that the primary purpose of an organization is to create value for the people it serves.

Through our efforts we have come to value:

  • Collaboration over control

  • Human experience over bureaucratic rules

  • Networks over hierarchies


While there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.


 

 

Creating a happier world.One person, community and company at a time.

 

Science tells us that people are bad at predicting what keeps us happy. It also says that focusing on our passions and purpose can create sustainable happiness. Yet, here we are, a global society of people that are unhappy (or think they could be happier) in life.

 

Simply put, everyone wants to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. To have a higher purpose. That’s where we come in. We believe by prioritizing happiness in work and life, together we can create change in the world more than we ever thought possible.

 

Startup Spotlight: Skully Helmets Inc.

 

Great work culture will make or break a startup. Mitch Weller, VP of Business Operations  will provide behind the scenes insight on how Skully created and sustains a work environment that supports productivity, creativity, and community.

Redg Snodgrass

CEO, Founder


Redg Snodgrass is a hybrid entrepreneur / corporate executive who understands how big companies can partner with and strategically leverage innovative startups. He has been a lean mean branding positioning junkie, beating competitors with larger resources and deeper experience most of his career. Unlike most corporate mavericks, he’s maintained the respect of his colleagues, and works to raise the bar so that everyone shares in the victory, and gets equal praise.

 

As a founding member of SKOUT, Redg helped create the first social mobile application for iPhone that was profitable as well as viral. When SKOUT reached 2.5 million users and sustainable profitability, he left for the opportunity to head Innovation at Alcatel-Lucent / Bell Labs, where he created the first-ever Open API Service across multiple global carriers, working with companies such as SFR, French Telecom, AT&T, VzW, Sprint, and Tmobile. Redg then led the company’s Open Innovation Unit, helping over 400 startups connect with top carriers globally, generating tens of millions in revenue. This experience allowed him to connect with and develop relationships with many of the top C-level telecom executives in nearly every content around the world. He went on to found The Taploid, a lauded innovative startup leveraging Facebook’s Open Graph.

 

Currently Redg serves as CEO of Wearable World, Inc., a San-Francisco based incubator / accelerator that has created the first self-sustaining technology ecosystem that generates deal flow and revenue for clients. He also sits on the board of several startups, managing their go-to-market strategies.
