January 22, 2025Episode 0101: Bits and Atoms
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Our episode number this week looks like the binary representation of the decimal number 5, and this nybble reminds me of a visit to Bits and Atoms at MIT a few years ago, where I met with Neil Gernshenfeld and took a look at their facilities and their program, and it is something that should be emulated everywhere, especially here in the Greater Vegas area, the FabLab model that endeavors to enable innovation and implementation whether it´s bits, atoms, or somewhere in between.

January 14, 2025Episode 0100: Innovate FOR vs IN Vegas
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: The Greater Vegas area is a strange mix of cultures and possibilities, some of which may be wagered on. Our Foundation began reaching out beyond our locality to engage those in other places interested in community elevation and civic volunteerism over one year ago, and it was at CES 2025 where there was some leaning-in.

January 07, 2025Episode 0099: Onboarding
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Any organization doing anything needs to have some way of informing those joining in how things work, how people work together, and so on. No more true than with an volunteer organization, especially one such as ours intending to deliver ideation and innovation in the form of implementation to elevate our communities.

December 24, 2024Episode 0097: Details
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: There are always details to sort out, especially if you are more than one person and you are planning to do something or make something that may be used by many, or have far-reaching impact, or which might be around for a while. Flip is fun and easy, dotting and crossing everything is quite the other thing.

December 17, 2024Episode 0096: Sprints vs Marathons
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: There are pros and cons being a nonprofit upstart in the innovation space. One thing that is a bit of both, is a general lack of market forces driving releases of early initiative efforts. That is, we have no ship dates for our initiatives, so no rush, but also, no rush.
