Atul Deshmane, a businessman, systems engineer, and re-elected official, talks with podcast Host Joy Gilfilen about the issue of digital communications, the speed of change, and how we are doing business around the world today. How has it changed over the past few years, and even just since the elections? Atul speaks to how his experience of talking with people in person, rather than just through electronic media, has changed the nature and quality of his understanding of relationships and human value.

He brings together issues related to broadband, digital media, and conserving energy to intersect with how technology has altered how people engage with the world. We discuss how people can feel separated, disconnected, and isolated from why things matter. Conversely, why it matters that we can make a huge difference locally to intentionally change our destiny in the future!
