Moving Forward with William Adams

Moving Forward with William Adams

When we speak about equality, the conversation is almost always centered around pay. We tend to talk about how women still earn roughly 84% of what men earn, and how the median income of Black families still hovers around $41,000 whereas White families have a median household income of more than $70,000. But is the focus on pay gaps really what's most important, or should we be looking at something far more significant? On this episode of Voluntary Input, I speak with William Adams about this very thing. With a tech career spanning some 30 plus years, he was one of the first Black entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, was recently profiled by the Computer History Museum, he is co-founder of Microsoft's LEAP apprenticeship program, is currently the Technical Advisor to the CTO at Microsoft, and quite frankly one of my heroes in tech.

Free TV Bundle - 2021 Edition

Free TV Bundle - 2021 Edition

According to the website decisiondata.org the average cost of cable now exceeds the average cost of all household utilities combined, and the cost continues to rise year after year! This leaves many consumers considering the "Cut The Cord" option. But with so many paid streaming options now available, the end result can lead people back to paying for cable anyway.

But are there any alternatives? Is it possible to have truly zero-cost television in the streaming age? Absolutely! In this episode, we'll explain how!
