314 Polling, Politics, and Developing Empathy w/ John Dick of CivicScience

5/28/2018

2 Comments

 
John Dick
When you think of a polling company, you probably think of Nielsen or Gallup. John Dick is going to change that.

As the Founder and CEO of CivicScience, John is building a modern consumer and media analytics company based in Pittsburgh. He and his team are reinventing consumer polling for a digital and mobile-first environment.

We discuss how polling has gotten more difficult as media and telecommunications have become more fragmented, the challenges of hiring technical and marketing talent, and how looking at the data has made John more empathetic.

Stephen Warley teaches people the life skills that matter for business.

My mission is to relieve people of their work anxieties by empowering them to design their own work.

The evolutionary fear of losing the acceptance of others is often more powerful than the desire to strike out on our own. He sees his job as empowering his readers to stop living up to the ideals of others and to start living up to their own ideals.
