Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S5 Bonus: Eric Futoran, Embrace.io
A multi startup founder, Eric Futoran has always focused in on being a family man. He considers himself a multi-hat wearing person, and though most entrepreneurs say that.. Eric really means it. He has 4 degrees... no really, four - Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Juris Doctor and MBA. He REALLY likes to learn, and is constantly reading and learning from people, books, other sources, and of course, his family.
He has found that his JD has really helped him understand the legal world, as it applies to the startup world, specifically SPAC's (special purpose acquisition group). He is digging into what the implications will be in the future withSPAC's, and the potential legal tension with their structures.
He has 2 young boys, 5 and 8, and has felt the pains of many parents through the pandemic with kids being home. Other than startups and school, he likes to get outdoors as much as he can, doing some hiking or spending time at the beach.
During his past successes at Scopely, one of the largest game builders in the world, he realized in the early innings of mobile that there was no mobile first data source, enabling businesses to capture all mobile session data... and more.
This is the creation story of Embrace.io.

The Intelligence from The Economist - Bench marks: weighing recent SCOTUS rulings
The court’s term is not quite over, with contentious rulings still pending. We examine the latest decisions to gauge how its new conservative justices have affected its ideological bent. As a former Mauritanian president heads to jail we examine the country’s efforts to tackle corruption and bridge deep societal divides. And the long philosophical reach of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s only book.

Village SquareCast - Created Equal: Stretching Towards Freedom
From the hearts of the enslaved, to the dreams of freedmen, to the urgent pleas of today’s black American citizens, the journey toward the full franchise of freedom lives on. We’ll celebrate what’s come before — and consider what’s yet to be done.
This year’s Created Equal program commemorates Emancipation Day in Florida, which is recognized on May 20. More than two years after President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, Union General McCook announced Emancipation to the state of Florida from the Knott House in Leon County on May 20, 1865.
The journey toward freedom that began 156 years ago, continues today in our community. Join us as we celebrate this legacy and consider our generation’s work still to do.
Across the years, across the state — we’ll connect our past, present and future to consider the legacy of Emancipation Day in Florida. To honor the past and look to the future, Created Equal 2021 will highlight both local and state-wide historians as they discuss Florida’s history of enslavement, civil rights and how we continue to stretch towards freedom today. We also clear up the confusion about Juneteenth vs. May 20.
Presented in partnership with Leon County Government.
This program is the first in a collaborative podcast series in partnership with Florida Humanities.
Find this event, including speaker bios, online at The Village Square.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The World’s Most Expensive Things
There is an old saying that one person’s trash is another person’s treasure. But sometimes, one person’s treasure is just another persons’ treasure that they can’t afford.
I’m talking about the realm of ultra-expensive items which would be more than most people would make in a lifetime. Items so expensive, that they usually make no financial sense to buy them whatsoever.

NBN Book of the Day - Rocío Zambrana, “Colonial Debts: The Case of Puerto Rico” (Duke UP, 2021)
What can debt reveal to us about coloniality and its undoing? In Colonial Debts: The Case of Puerto Rico (Duke University Press, 2021), Rocío Zambrana theorizes the way debt has been used as a technique of neoliberal coloniality in Puerto Rico, producing profit from death on the island. With close attention to the material practices of protestors who have fought that destruction of life for the purposes of profit, Zambrana argues that decolonization entails political-economic subversion and transformative interruption of the hierarchies of race, gender, and class that fuel and are sustained by colonization. She shows us how organizing pessimism nourishes hope.
Sarah Tyson is an associate professor of philosophy at the University of Colorado, Denver.
