#45 Oakland Digital -- Shaun Tai
Episode description
We turn to Oakland. Shaun Tai is the Founder and Executive director of Oakland Digital, a non-profit that connects design students to local businesses. Shaun comes to Oakland Digital by way of hip hop, and the film industry. Not everyone in Silicon Valley works in a tech company.
Kent and Shaun discuss a wide range of topics, including how to connect lower income people to the tech industry, why Oakland hasn't overtaken San Francisco as the most desirable place to live...yet. And a lot more. This is the first of a 2 part conversation
