Query:
Dear Friends Authority Magazine is starting a new series about
Agile Businesses: How Businesses Pivot and Stay Relevant In The
Face of Disruptive Technologies. Full description here
https://bit.ly/3fN6wqr
At Authority Magazine we ran a series about new disruptive
technologies. We would now like to focus on the other side of
the coin, "How Agile Businesses Pivot In The Face of Disruptive
Technologies".
New technologies have disrupted established industries. For
example, Airbnb disrupted the hospitality industry. How has the
hospitality industry pivoted to this disruption? TurboTax
disrupted the accounting industry. How has the accounting
industry pivoted tp this disruption? Uber has disrupted the
mobility industry. How has the mobility industry pivoted to this
disruption? Robinhood has disrupted the financial industry. How
has the financial industry responded to this disruption? Urgent
care clinics have disrupted the medical industry. How has the
medical community pivoted? And so on...
We would like to interview CEOs and business leaders from an
industry that is being impacted by a disruptive technology, and
hear their strategies about how to pivot and stay relevant. We
would particularly like to hear from leaders in any of the
industries mentioned above. (Hospitality , accounting, mobility
, finance, medical.)
The interview series will have two stages.
All of the full interviews will be published in Arianna
Huffington's Thrive Global and Authority Magazine, and they will
look like the following:

https://thriveglobal.com/stories/social-impact-heroes-how-amber-zenith-emily-nelson-have-helped-to-reignite-a-love-for-aerobic-workouts-across-north-america/
In addition, after the all interviews are completed, an article
featuring the ideas from the best interviews will be submitted
to Buzzfeed and Entrepreneur.com, like these we have done:
https://www.entrepreneur.com/slideshow/345415
https://www.entrepreneur.com/slideshow/340907
https://www.entrepreneur.com/slideshow/339554
The Buzzfeed article will look similar to this:
https://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewziegler/heres-what-the-best-athletes-of-the-90s-look-lik
Individuals who are accepted for this series will be featured in
at least 2 - 4 articles.
Yitzi Weiner, Kristin Marquet and Charlie Katz will be the
primary leads for the series. Most interviews will not require
phone interviews and can be done by email. Requirements:
We would like to interview CEOs and business leaders from an
industry that is being impacted by a disruptive technology, and
hear their strategies about how to pivot and stay relevant. We
would particularly like to hear from leaders in any of the
industries mentioned above. (Hospitality , accounting, mobility

Hi there! My name is Matt Lavietes - I'm a reporter with the

how the colder weather has impacted businesses, restaurants and

operations. Are people still opting for outdoor dining? Has
there been an uptick in indoor dining? Is it still profitable to
run a business with outdoor operations in December? Looking
forward to hearing from you!
