Episode #35: Kate O’Neill – Tech Humanist, Netflix to the UN<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Kate O’Neill, the Futurist, Author, Keynote Speaker, Fortune 500 Advisor, and Founder of KO Insights joins the show to share her journey from being one of the first 100 employees of Netflix to writing Tech Humanist<\/em> and speaking at the UN. Kate and I originally connected over social media after I heard so much buzz about her latest book. The more I learned about her “Tech Humanist” concept and impressive background, the more I was certain she’d be a fascinating podcast guest! We were able to lock down a super cool Peerspace conference room for the interview near Columbus Circle in NYC, and all worked out swimmingly despite the blizzard conditions (see pictures below). Kate is an incredibly bright, generous, and funny leader who has started a powerful movement anyone can relate to. This episode covers everything from what Netflix was like in the early days to whether privacy even exists anymore. Here’s a small sample of what you will hear in this episode:<\/p>\n
