Each month, Tony Uphoff, visionary CEO of Thomasnet.com, joins Cloud Wars Live for a recurring segment. “Uphoff on Industry” will explore the innovations, upheavals, and breakthroughs reshaping the world of manufacturing and industrial markets. Join Tony and me as we discuss disruptive new trends in the digital-industrial world: not just how products are designed, sourced and manufactured, but also the new ways in which industrial companies are getting up to speed on marketing, sales and customer experience.

Episode 4

In this episode: Tony and I discuss how we’ve been fortunate to have a ringside seat on the transformation of technology – and how if you aren’t fluent, you’re going to be left behind. Next, we discuss how ThomasNet.com has 72,000 categories, and every second someone’s buying a product or service. Tony goes on to say how the Baby Boom generation and the Millennial generation are now 50/50 – and how there will be 10 billion people on the planet by the year 2050, which isn’t very long from now. And, he does a bit of a rant on the restaurant industry – which is something you don’t want to miss.
