Stripe has just acquired Paystack for $200+ million. Huge congrats Shola Akinlade Ezra Olubi and the Paystack team. Founded in Lagos, Nigeria in 2016, Paystack was the first Nigerian company to get accepted into Y Combinator and always described themselves as the “Stripe of Africa.” Paycheck went on to raise funding from Stripe and Visa before their sale this week to Stripe. This is a great deal between two companies who both have a shared mission in helping founders start and scale internet businesses. Congrats all involved 👏🎉 #founder #startup #entrepreneur #fintech #innovation …see more

I just wrote a piece on how to reopen schools and colleges post-pandemic. I offer up 3 trauma-responsive changes. None cost money; they cost sweat equity, thought, creativity, reallocation of resources, new approaches, change. Well, the first comment suggests: how expensive? How difficult? How cost inefficient? Now here's the point: folks can't see change as good. But, in this instance, the world has changed and going back to the status quo ante is a falsity. And anyone who does not recognize that placement tests and standardized tests post-pandemic and mandated upon reopening is really misunderstanding toxic stress, isolation, fear responses, ANS responses and the realities of a threat like COVID-19. Yes, these are all triggers for trauma. Here's the link and here's my hope: those of you who are leaders need to help your workers and employees see the value of change, the need for change and the importance of change after a global traumatic event. It will take work -- not money necessarily. https://lnkd.in/etTxsS6 If ever there were a time for change, it is now. The door is wide open. Walk through. …see more

The Land O’Lakes controversy has left me puzzled. The female image was done by a Native American artist. And what product had a Native American woman front and center — and not in a demeaning way? Except ..... here’s what I recall as a teenager lo those many years ago that made me cringe and I thought that was why the image was removed. If you bent the box (empty) a certain way, the woman’s knees became her breasts and she was sitting there with nothing covering her breasts. Yipes. Hadn’t the company realized that little and not so little boys were making a sexual display and a mockery of a Native American woman on their box? Then decades later, when the image was to be removed, I thought: “Finally, someone smart knew about the knees/breasts swap and they are fixing it at ling last.” Frankly it could have been corrected by a slight change in her clothing and she did not need to be removed. She did need to stop being the fantasy of young boys. Back then, seeing breasts was a big deal — kind of like Playboy or Penthouse, neither of which seem needed with the Internet and the 60’s .... Was I dreaming this? Chime in. Why is no one mentioning it? Just google and there are stories and even demonstrations. Why has this been ignored? Or pushed under proverbial rug? …see more

Many of the TopVoices predict a move to sustainability, which is good news for responsible investing. I believe as shareholders we can go so far, but as consumers we can go even further. All we have to do is be a little curious on social media - when you are looking to buy something, ask how it was made, tagging the brand on any social media. How much water does it take to produce it? How much does the labour get paid? How diverse is the board of the company? #AskBetterQuestions …see more

The #payroll system has long been in need of an update, since it’s technologically possible not to make workers wait two weeks for money they've already earned. Ceridian CEO David Ossip told me in a recent conversation that the global health crisis has pushed the issue into the forefront and what drove Ceridian to develop its Dayforce Wallet to make it easier for customers to be paid instantly, instead of in arrears. It's obviously a better deal for workers, but it is also a much smarter economic move for the firms that employ them. Here’s why. …see more
