Description

Did you know that only 17% of all the electronics sold and used on the planet are currently being responsibly recycled when they come to their end of life? As a result, the fastest-growing part of the world's waste stream is unwanted or unusable consumer electronics. But, electronic waste is not only an environmental hazard. It's becoming a cyber security problem too.  John Shegerian, co-founder and Chairman/CEO of ERI, joins me on the Innovation Storytellers podcast to share the scale of the problem. We also discuss the increasing problem with hardware hacking, why everyone needs to understand the importance of efficient data destruction, and how e-waste plays a pivotal role in the circular economy.

Did you ever wonder how an innovation got to its finish line? How innovators saw the future, made a product, and created change – in our world and in their companies? I did. Innovation Storytellers invites changemakers to describe how they created their innovation and just as important – THE STORIES – that made us fall in love with them. Come learn how great innovations need great stories to make them move around the world and how to become a better storyteller in the process. I’m Susan Lindner, the Innovation Storyteller. But I wasn’t always. I’ve been a wannabe revolutionary, an epidemiologist at the CDC and an AIDS educator in the brothels of Thailand helping to turn former sex workers into entrepreneurs. Trained as an anthropologist and the Founder of Emerging Media, I’ve spent the last twenty years working with innovators from 60+ countries. Ranging from cutting edge startups to Fortune 100 companies like GE, Corning, Citi, Olayan, and nine foreign governments, helping their leaders to tell their stories and teaching them how to become incredible advocates for their innovations. Great innovation stories make change possible. They let us step into a future we can’t see yet. I started this podcast to shine a light on our generation of great innovators, to learn how they brought their innovation to life and the stories they told to bring them to the world.
