Don Katz, founder and CEO of Audible, talks about how the tech and innovation economy (including urban accelerators) can connect the urban core to job growth, thus reaping positive social impact as well as economic and technological advancement.

His work won a National Magazine Award, an Overseas Press Club Award, and the Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize for Nonfiction. He was also nominated for a National Book Critics Circle Award.
