Of course we can't help but talk about generative AI and the practical approaches that thought-leading vendors are taking in validating and developing valuable applications with the latest hyped tech.

In this week's episode, Rob, Tom, and David broadcast live from Pearl Harbor, HI to talk about the military applications of tech and the interdependency that the private sector has with the military. The guys also talk about the influence that technology has on strategic military advantage, capability, and innovation such as what we are seeing in the Ukraine as Ukrainians are using commercial solutions in creative ways to defeat what many analysts thought were capable Russian platforms with surprising ease and economics. Doing more with less is happening with a new form of techno guerrilla warfare. Super interesting discussion on how situational awareness provided by IoT can make all the difference on the battlefield and in your business.

In this week's episode, Andreea, David, Ryan, Bill, Leonard, Steve, Rob, and Marc jump on to Web3 joined by the illustrious Matt Hatton of Transforma Insights (who bravely enters the IoT House of Pain) to talk about making IoT less risky and insecure. Our collective proposition - take out some of the stupid IoT practices and situations that form at the cusp of collective ignorance (not a bad thing as long you are willing to learn and be enlightened) and negligence (both willful and unintended). We all see it. What can we do to rid of it? Is regulation the answer? More technology? Clearing of dirty laundry?

In this week's episode, Wienke Giezeman, Leonard, Steve, Rob, and Marc jump on to Web3 with a Rebel Yell against techno tribalism which gets in the way of cross-technology innovation. Of course, we had to talk about LoRa and LoRaWAN with our good buddy, Wienke, joining us. How severe are the silos and the techno fandoms that deprive users from   compelling possibilities if these barriers came down. Who in your organization can break these barriers down so that we can tap into the technological potential to advance business innovation.

In this week's episode, Stephanie, Bill, Leonard, Steve, Rob, and Marc jump on to Web3 to determine if we can have the best of both worlds? Can we find balance between our digital world and reality? If we virtualize the world can we trust the real world? What happens when we put more faith and trust in technology than we do in ourselves? Very trippy discussion, but we get into the hopes and the fears of our future that will be heavily influenced and impacted by AI. When virtual overrides our believes and value, how do we trust each other, our institutions, our realities?

I know! It's about starting with the customer experience, which does not mean starting with the customer. Mind-bending stuff!
