Hi, all!
I am writing a piece called "Why women have more student loan
debt and steps you can take to avoid being overwhelmed."
BACKGROUND:
Women are more highly educated, and therefore statistically more
likely to have student debt, but it goes so far beyond that.
Women are more likely to be given a higher interest rate and
take on more debt. Plus, women make less than men once they
graduate and have a harder time catching up to payments.
I am looking for comments on women student debt statistics, the
pay gap impact on that debt and ways to reduce and manage
student loan debt.

Virtual interactions can be hard on the brain, causing "zoom

Looking for comments on these findings and thoughts on the
pros/cons of video meetings. Do you agree that zoom fatigue is a
"thing"? Also interested in suggestions for improving these
types of meetings and reducing fatigue. Anyone doing research in
this area?

to our highly successful Thought Leaders in Cloud Computing
(TLCC) (http://www.sramanamitra.com/big-data/) series. In TLHIT,
we interview thought leaders in the healthcare IT sector --
whether they are entrepreneurs building great companies,
product/user experience designers building great products, or
executives at large companies with unique perspectives on how
the big data industry is evolving. We discuss trends,
disruptions, entrepreneurial opportunities, monetization models,
challenges, sociocultural impact and much more in a seven-part
series. We also try to highlight for our audience gaps in the
current value chain where they may start a venture, from the
unique vantage point that CIOs and CTOs have. This is a
wonderful opportunity to add value to the entrepreneurial
ecosystem of the world. This blog is part of the One Million by
One Million global initiative, whose aim is to help a million
entrepreneurs reach $1 million in annual revenue

many venues: HBR, Xconomy, SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes
(India), Women 2.0, Mashable, Huffington Post, Business Insider,
ReadWriteWeb, and several other sites. Articles we develop
through these interviews often get repackaged for the
syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was named by Forbes in the

For our Entrepreneur Journeys series, we're looking to interview

level, industry (Our interests: E-Commerce, Cloud Computing,
SaaS, Mobile, Social, Big Data, IoT, FinTech, Digital Media,

series has already produced 12 books
(http://tinyurl.com/4p4phwy). You can see examples of the series
on our blog (http://tinyurl.com/d8m9mt). This blog is part of
