Introducing the TechEnabled Podcast

I have a new podcast series at AEI called TechEnabled where I'm exploring not only the ways in which technology is enabling new models and systems, but also the way it provides deeper - and often real time - insights that can help us better understand the trends within our communities and the broader economy.

We have some great guests lined up including:

  • How CMU is using using survey data from Google and Facebook to power a forecasting tool that projects where COVID infections are headed, versus the rearview mirror statistics we have now.

  • How Safe Graph is helping governors and health officials measure mobility during periods of increased restrictions.

  • We talk with EMSI and Burning Glass to understand how communities are using their tools and services to provide real-time insights into labor market trends.

  • We sit down with the CEO of the US Digital Response to explore how they’re organizing more than 5,000 volunteers to support state and local government modernize their technology systems during the COVID-19 crisis.

You can subscribe to the podcast through all the platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Play, and AEI’s website.
