In the heart of Silicon Valley, idea to market happens at light speed. But at what cost? The answer isn’t always obvious and often leads to unintended consequences, both locally and globally. On the flip side, innovative ideas, policies, and technologies are being advanced to bring about a more just, ethical, and sustainable world. Line of Sight presents a unique view of innovation by bringing technologists, entrepreneurs, and visionaries into provocative conversations with two of the world’s top thought leaders in the fields of social justice and ethics, Santa Clara University’s Brigit Helms and Don Heider. Whether you are interested in Silicon Valley ideation, global changemakers, movers and shakers, or thought leadership from the region’s first incubator of ideas, this is the podcast for you.
