Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S9 Bonus: Leonardo Shapiro, Not Alien

Leonardo Shapiro is originally from Mexico City. His family was from Russia and Poland, but ended up being in Mexico City after being denied from the US. He is an outdoorsy person, and loves to walk and hike. And in fact, he used to be a scuba diving instructor in college, and he loves to spend time in spaces like the underwater. He's also a foodie, and loves coffee and wine.

For Leonardo, the immigration process into the US was a very hard process. He went on the search for a product that would make this process easier, and he couldn't find it. He wanted to fix this, and provide something for his fellow "not" alien's.

This is the creation story of Not Alien.

Bay Curious - How Italians Were Treated As ‘Enemy Aliens’ During WWII

During World War II, 10,000 Italian citizens living in California were forced to leave their homes as part of security measures meant to protect the West Coast from enemy invasion. Others were forced to register as enemy aliens, and were subject to property seizures, curfews and travel restrictions. On this week’s show, Pauline Bartolone investigates what West Coast Italians faced during WWII, how it was different from what Italians experience elsewhere, and why many people — including Italians – don’t know this history.
