Michael Goldberg, Vice President and Corporate Controller at Comfort USA, has hosted a series of LinkedIn Live Lunch Hour broadcasts during the COVID-19 pandemic. In December 2020, he interviewed LinkedIn coach Judi Fox about content creation, discussing best practices for video and strategies for job seekers to generate content on social platforms. He also spoke with Scott Simson, CEO of Video Marketing World, about the use of video on LinkedIn and YouTube, noting that CEOs and CFOs are increasingly watching YouTube for business content. Goldberg described himself as being "on the LinkedIn side" and discussed the differences between the two platforms. Goldberg has also spoken publicly about his experience creating the massive open online course (MOOC) "Beyond Silicon Valley: Growing Entrepreneurship in Transition Economies." In a 2016 TEDx talk, he stated that the free course had enrolled 58,000 students from 190 countries and had been translated into 14 languages, making it the top translated course on Coursera. He described how students from Macedonia, Iran, and Namibia applied the course's lessons in their local communities, and he emphasized that traditional measures of student success like grades do not apply well in the MOOC world, stating that "it is the action that these students have taken with the information that they have got that matters."
