Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S7 Nick Donofrio – If Nothing Changes, Nothing Changes

Hello listeners! Today have Nick Donorio on the show today.

Nick Donorio is a second generation American. His grandparents were poor, Italian immigrants - and his family was hard working, focused on value creation. They were poor, but never thought of themselves as poor - they always had food to eat, and always sat down at the table for dinner at night. Nick spent 44 years of his life at IBM, as an electrical engineer and then as a technology leader. In 2008, he "graduated" from IBM, and now holds board seats for dozens of companies.

Nick is the co-author of the book "If Nothing Changes, Nothing Changes". The book is a powerful testimony to our ability as human beings to drive transformation - not just within tech, but across generations. With heart and candor, Nick explains how he led IBM's global technical team to embrace market centric, focus redefining innovation and sparking worldwide collaboration.

Get the book on Amazon, or learn more at nickdonofrio.com.

Bay Curious - Why Doesn’t BART Go More Places?

UC Berkeley graduate student Ziad Shafi was surprised when he arrived in the Bay Area and saw that BART trains only have one route through San Francisco. He'd taken metro trains in Prague, Stockholm and Washington, D.C., where the route maps are shaped like spiderwebs — allowing riders to get in striking distance of anywhere in the city. But BART looks more like a tree. He asked: "Why do four of the five BART lines go all the way from West Oakland to Daly City together?" KQED transit editor Dan Brekke gives us some BART history and offers an outlook for what's next for public transit in the Bay Area.
