from WPTF Morning News

Marian Salzman, senior vice president of corporate development and senior advisor to the U.S. CEO at PMI U.S., joins Lisa to discuss a new Harris Poll survey finding that nearly 8 in 10 Americans believe the country is innovating in the wrong areas, with consumers more concerned about housing, grocery prices, healthcare and local jobs than headline-grabbing investments in AI and space exploration. Salzman explains what the findings reveal about the growing gap between corporate innovation rhetoric and real-world community needs.
