Feeling alone and anxious during this crisis? Giles Edwards has an idea to provide you with some company -- and importantly -- some inspiration and knowledge. You see, Giles and his collaborators have created ISOLATEDTalks.com. Emphasis on "TED." It's a nod to TED Talks as the website serves up some presentations, talks and stories from some of the Advertising industry's most inspiring people. All with a mission to help you get through this crisis. On the pod, Giles talks about how ISOLATEDTalks came about. The charity it's supporting. As well as a host of other topics like his creative company, Gasp! and his role in bringing the best-selling book, "Delusions of Brandeur" to life. Only on the Disruptor Series podcast.

While the government and scientists can't agree when we can open the economy back up, one thing everyone agrees upon is that covering your nose and mouth with a mask helps keep you and others healthy. The problem? There's not enough quality masks. Enter Tito Melega. Tito's a creative director, art director, content producer and now, a mask entrepreneur. He's applying his "Ideas That Do" approach by working with a small team of collaborators from places like Germany and Nashville to use a network of 3-D printers to make a quality mask available to everyone with his new initiative: AMaskForAll.com. Hear the story -- only 4 weeks in the making -- and how it's disrupting the wrath of the Coronavirus with good old-fashioned human ingenuity and human cooperation.
