The Price We Pay

Can you imagine writing a letter to solve a business dilemma!? Like, you need an answer from your business partner, so you have to actually mail a letter, and then turn around and wait for a response. Ashley Arndt has! Well, almost. We were thrilled to have Ashley join us for the latest discussion on the price we pay for using our oh-so-convenient technology and digital communication, and she has some hilarious anecdotes that carry a powerful message. Join us as we discuss how technology has obviously created this fast-past, convenient world we live in today full of “likes” and validation, instant access to free email, and curated items selected for you to purchase by advanced algorithms. Let’s be honest… we all love it. It makes for great business, improved productivity, and increased personal satisfaction. So, what’s the down side? Like Ashley says with all this free stuff, especially when it comes to digital communication and using digital tools, “There’s a price to pay.” As you weave your way through this episode of Waiting in the Car, you can expect to hear discussion about personal validation and identity and the impact of the social media “like” on ourselves, white men in Silicon Valley, social engineering, and trading our security for convenience.
