My series concerning the Intersection of Technology and _____ continued last week. (previous discussions can be found here.)

It was my pleasure to introduce politics into the discussion, and my first guest on this topic was Mike Shields. This was an easy decision for two reasons. One, he happens to be one of my best friends. Two, he happens to have led a remarkably productive, impressive and diverse career, accomplishing a lot more in less than two decades than even some of the most ambitious people could hope to achieve in a lifetime.

We discussed the way the world (and the world of politics) has changed, the ways it will always be the same, and some of the ways technology has disrupted, improved and impacted all aspects of politicking. There was too much to cover in 30 minutes (or 30 hours) so Shields will definitely be a repeat visitor, and I’m already looking forward to his next installment.
