When Education & Work Collide: Live from the ASU+GSV Summit, Part 1

Join Jeanne for the first in a special two-part edition of in Piazza, live from the 2024 ASU+GSV Summit and stay tuned for part 2, airing later this week. Andiamo!

First, we talk to members of the NFL and sports player management space. Co-founder/Co-CEO of Pro Athlete Community Chip Paucek, together with COO Travis Key and Jake Browning, a current NFL QB, talk about their work with players navigating business, investment and the professional world during and after a pro sports career.

We also speak with the brilliant Jane Swift, former Massachusetts governor and President of Education at Work about the great need for increased and equitable representation for women, among multiple overlooked groups, in business, and in executive and leadership roles, and some of the initiatives she’s working on to move the dial on those efforts.

unCommon Construction Executive Director Aaron Frumin and Keith Brooks, Founder and CEO of the National Fellowship for Black and Latino Male Educators, also stopped in Piazza for a chat. UnCommon, a New Orleans-based program that offers high school students on the job training and course credit for completing a construction project, and NFBLME, who focus on the efforts to create and strengthen the pipeline for and representation of minorities and diversity in education leadership, were 2022 and 2023 finalists for the Yass Prize, respectively. So Andiamo, let’s go! Enjoy!
