Vlogger Sarah Austin Perfects the Work/Life Balance: One Seamlessly Feeds the Other
Sarah Austin" /> This interview is part of our ongoing series related to The Influence Project. Not long ago I had lunch with the vlogger and lifecaster Sarah Austin. We ate on the patio at Aureole and not ten minutes in she asked if I we could shoot our interview for a reality show she is doing. She said she'd send me what she wanted to use before it went live and wouldn't ask for a release until I gave her approval. I agreed and she rolled tape. Looking back, I realize this is what Austin does. Austin hosts a weekly Webcast on Justin.tv/pop17 that attracts 50,000 viewers and has been endorsed by, among others, Leonardo Dicaprio, Steve Wozniak, and Demi Moore.

Mark Borden: When did you first go online? Sarah Austin: I was 10 in 1996 and my dad had a PC in his home office. Robert B.

The media business is becoming a complex game. A major study recently conducted by the Knight Commission concluded that the Internet and the proliferation of mobile media have unleashed a tsunami of innovation in the creation and distribution of information, a torrent teeming with hundreds of thousands of media channels and millions of media product choices. We also live in a world being confronted by an unprecedented array of environmental threats caused by human activities like agriculture, coal mining, oil extraction, industrial production, electricity use, transportation and deforestation — all of which contribute to climate changing greenhouse gas emissions. A factor making the media game even more complex is the carbon footprint created by media brands and their supply chains as they compete for advertising dollars and vie for consumer attention. * Can advertisers afford to ignore the environmental threats associated with their media supply chain choices?
