This week on Boomer Radio, I'm joined by:
-- Lumosity creators Kunal Sarkar and Michael Scanlon, who created Lumos Labs to promote better brain health. Each of the founders has had a family member affected by the devastation of declining cognitive ability. Combining a diversity of experiences and knowledge, they merge academic science, gaming and the delivery of online content. (Encore presentation from December 2007)
-- Through the Kitchen Door International is the brainchild of Liesel Flashenberg and her husband who in 1991 decided to take seriously the adage, "Take this job and shove it." The two left their successful, high-powered jobs in DC and headed to Costa Rica with their three young children. Always committed to the operation of a responsible, sustainable business enterprise, they ultimately returned to the U.S. and created a company that uses basic cooking and the culinary arts as a fun and non-threatening means to teach low income and recent immigrant adults and at-risk youth basic life skills. (Encore presentation from December 2007)
-- Senator Hillary Clinton is the first viable female contender for the presidency of the United States. Carly Fiorina was the first woman to run a Fortune 20 company in 1999. The Wall Street Journal recently featured 50 Women to Watch. Does this mean sexism is gone from the workplace? Harriet Rubin, journalist, author and founder of the prestigious Doubleday business imprint Currency
published dozens of notable bestsellers as editorial director. She's author of the international bestseller, The Princessa: Machiavelli for Women, and the acclaimed title, The Mona Lisa Strategem, and a consultant to many media companies. Rubin joins me to talk about her compelling cover story, "Sexism in the Workplace", in this month's issue of Conde Nast's Portfolio Magazine.
Join me from 12 noon to 1:00 p.m. on WMET 1160 AM, or online at www.wmet1160.com, and click "Live". If you miss a broadcast, check out the archives, at The Heather Taylor Show.
