WeWork’s gaff and the opportunity for LinkedInJust released: I was a honoured to be a guest on Kadia Francis’ podcast, The Digital Jamaica Podcast. You can get more details on Kadia’s blog here.

Virtual Island Summit
As previously mentioned that I had attended a few sessions of the Virtual Island Summit, and as a general comment, the content was very thought-provoking and very much geared to the context here in the Caribbean.
Had a great time recording this. I hope to do it again soon. You should check out the work Kadia is doing and follow her on all the channels.

Enjoy!
