The one thing that has made the world advance faster technologically is open source software. It is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify, and enhance. Without open source development, many of the technologies would never have developed or would be stuck at the patent office. Open source developers are needed in today's technological world but the one thing that they are missing is community. That is where Sako's vision comes into play for a community for open source developers. 

Sako M. is the founder and CEO of GOUP which is a collaboration and value exchange platform for open source developers. GOUP's goal is to bring together  industry leaders to share their experiences, connect with starters, creating open source projects and going beyond to spin companies on top.

Whenever you go into various buildings around the world, do you ever notice why the elevators either run slow, break down, or just not efficient. That's because they are operated using cables and and having cables requires more space in buildings, makes the journey up to the top floors more arduous and dangerous. James Hutchinson is looking to change all of that. 

James is the Founder and CEO of Hyprlift, which is the next generation elevator for the next generation of tall buildings. Hyprlift Cabs are self-propelled, high performance electric vehicles that are not bound to a single shaft, but instead navigate autonomously through multiple shafts. They are equipped with an onboard dynamic-tractive drive system that engages with the shaft and propels cabs at high speed. 

By omitting the cables, HYPRLIFT allows multiple cabs to travel within the same shaft, enabling greater transport capacity and shorter wait times to be achieved using fewer shafts.

James is looking to create the TESLA for elevators and you can reach him through these sites:

Health Care is a system that is getting more and more complicated. Doctors are getting stretched to the max. Patients feel like they are not getting the adequate health care they need to function properly. According to the American Medical Association, health spending has increased by 9.7% in 2020 to $4.1 trillion and its projected to increase further. Dr. Patricia Kelly Marsh is looking to help break down barriers between patients and their doctors. 

Dr. Patricia is the Founder and CEO of Ask Me Your MD which is a telehealth service that improves patient satisfaction and quality measures by educating and advocating on behalf of patients. Its goal is to break down barriers that prevent patients from directly speaking with a doctor and understanding their health information. Too often, patients need additional services or health insurance to fill the void of unanswered questions and directionless care. They provide consultation services to members, which empowers them to direct their health, and gives them confidence and peace of mind in their medical decisions.

Wishing All Of You A Happy New Year as we start 2023 with a set of new podcast episodes. 

According to Beyond Market Insights, the size of the Global Electric Vehicle is predicted to grow to around $1.10 trillion by 2030. This means that more and more charging stations are necessary. The current way of charging electric vehicles isn't enough especially with the infrastructure needed to supercharge cars. Tesla is making an impact on that space but Ski Kinsey hopes that building electric charging stations with the use of shipping containers can make the process far more efficient. 

Ski Kinsey is the founder of FastCharge Energy utilizing shipping containers to build charging stations for major electric vehicles including Teslas. Ski has had a fascinating career in the business world as a consultant along with building and operating businesses. Ski has had 2 exits but he feels that this one will be the one that defines his overall business legacy.

The one thing that you have to admire about young hustlers is that they have the energy and drive to become who they want to be. I've decided to interview one just to see what it's like to be a hustler who pushes himself to be the best he wants to be. The lesson for this episode isn't relegated to just the young but for anyone who wants to become successful in their endeavors. Joseph is one example of someone who is that young teenage hustler. 

Joseph Stone is a 17 year old founder of Stone Marketing Inc who has grown up in the foster care system. His experiences being a foster child moving from parent to parent is what drives him to want to be someone wealthy and successful. Even though he's working his way towards his ventures including helping clients with marketing help, making videos, and looking to start a podcast, his energy, attitude, and outlook in life at that young age along with the circumstances he grew up with is something you have to admire whether he becomes successful or not.
