The latest podcast from AdTechGod is a sit down between Ad Tech God himself and Team Dayā founder Jay Sears. The podcast is out just before Team Dayā members Nicolle Pangis (Ampersand, WPP), Jay Sears (mastercard, Rubicon Project) and Mike Benedek (Datonics) build a school next Tuesday, May 14th at the DMS by LUMA conference in New York City.
In the podcast, you will learn how Sears got started in the world of ad tech, who some of the 1,000+ ad tech executives and companies are that support Team Dayā’s mission of Building Change by constructing primary schools in the developing world, and how you can support the group if you have one hour, one week or more time available.
Anyone curious to learn more about joining a future school build or otherwise supporting the mission should contact our Head of Recruiting Jaryd Knutsen.
You can listen to the AdTechGod Pod on Spotify or pick your favorite platform.
