We explore the results of a happiness study, which was conducted over almost 100 years. Plus, we chat about the rise of independent media with the voice behind Crier Media, Dean Blundell. Also, with  news about layoffs in the tech space appearing with increasing frequency, we discuss the best way for tech leaders to calculate their budgets for the bigger picture. In Socially Speaking, we talk about the future of work and a new start up in Berlin called NEW WORK.
