The Self-Employed Life 300: Scott Hartley- Technology Will Always Need Your Humanity
Technology moves quickly, and is growing at an exponential rate. As entrepreneurs, or solopreneurs, how do we keep up? Startups and tech companies alike have been breaking the barriers we know with the tech industry. Tech companies aren't just exclusive to "techies" anymore. Shocking, isn't it? It's become all inclusive, extending to the right brainers as well, or as Scott Hartley calls them, the "Fuzzies." This week we discuss automation, self driving cars, and all other aspects of technology. Don't worry though, it's here to help us!
Scott Hartley joins us this week to discuss his book "The Fuzzy and the Techie," (a Financial Times business book of the month!) as well as the world of automation. Scott is a venture capitalist, and has worked at companies such as Facebook and Google!
