There’s a fine line between sharing and oversharing. And with our increasingly digital lives, it’s very easy to cross that line. Just think of that time your aunt wrote about her knee surgery on Facebook, or your friend from high school tweeted some way too in-depth details about his dating life.
Here at Innovation Hub, we’re all about sharing, including sharing some interviews that touch on oversharing. Don’t worry though, we won’t tell you anything about our dating lives.
First up, we’ve got Justin Hall, who started sharing his life online before the word blogging even existed. He’ll reflect on over 20 years of connecting with strangers over the Internet, and look at how he might give people even more of a peek into his world… using drones.

Finally, management expert Roger Martin tells us a surprising fact that CEOs have shared with him: they’re being overpaid… and they know it. We’ll look at the rise of the talent economy, how the billionaire CEO came to be, and whether they can share the wealth with those of us that don’t run hedge funds.
