Really interesting conversation with @johnson993_bill that we had at our #fcfestival this week - Bill and his team are designing the stadiums of today (and tomorrow) so they are more easily upgradeable to lessen the need to demolish and start over every 20 years.
Improving upon an original is quite the challenge whether it’s a movie, a car, a shoe, or a phone. @johnson993_bill #FCFestival Sponsored by @Lenovo and @thinkstations

The best question I heard today at my talk with @FastCompany - “How do we use data to increase support of women owned companies?” My response - act on it! Data shows when women get equal access to capital, they outperform counterparts! #Asuinnovates #entrepreneurship @HelloAlice
