The End of Innovation: Exposing California

On this episode of Feudal Future, hosts Joel Kotkin and Marshall Toplansky are joined by Tracy Hernandez. Tracy Hernandez is the Founding Chief Executive Officer of the Los Angeles County Business Federation (BizFed), a nonprofit, massive grassroots alliance of 180 top business networks that counts among its more than 400,000 business members a diverse demographic, industry sector, and geographic array of small and large employers of over 3.5 million people in Southern California.

BizFed works to advocate for positive public policy, legislation, manageable regulations, taxes and fees, and foster business owner civic and community engagement. Tracy also oversees the BizFed Institute (a 501 c3), the educational, information, research, polling, and convening arm of BizFed. To round out all aspects of impact, she founded the BizFed Political Action Committee (PAC), which seeks to elect public officials with job creating focus and ability. Credit BizFed 2020

Thanks again guys! I’m sad to see so many Californians in the carpool lane out of the state. Following your lectures for several years now, I can’t say I didn’t see it coming. Keep up the great work with your megaphones!

A superb talk; we desperately need these insights in the UK where the assumption is that RPA (automation of jobs) will lead to Utopian outcomes. Excellent 👍

The future is feudal and humanity won't do anything about it because it's too selfish about itself to do anything about it so it deserves it.
Eventually things become too real that's right.
