Amazon. No, the other one.

from Glitter & Doom Hosted by BRIC RADIO

Since Amazon announced its HQ2 plans in LIC, this dystopian future doesn't seem so far-fetched. Just how bad is the Amazon deal for the average New Yorker? Vox reporter Gaby del Valle weighs in. And as Amazon, Inc. grows spectacularly, the Amazon rainforest shrinks. Activists who agitate against that deforestation, many of them indigenous, take their lives in their hands. According to the non-profit Global Witness, 145 activists have been killed in Brazil since 2015 alone. Suzanne Pelletier, executive director of Rainforest Foundation, is here to talk about the life or death struggle for the Amazon.

Mavens Do It Better Heather Newman What is a Maven? A maven is an expert, sometimes a self-proclaimed one. We catch up with experts or "mavens" in their industries who do what they are passionate about, bring the hustle and light up an extraordinary spark in our world. Sometimes we eat, sometimes we drink, sometimes we do it outside, sometimes from a noisy expo hall, sometimes there is glitter, sometimes there is popcorn and sometimes we dance. But every time we talk about life and biz. We catch mavens wherever they are in the world, cause they simply do it better.
