In this week's podcast, we sit down with John Riley III, VP Business Services at Orion Innovations, a software development firm with over 150 developers working on projects, internationally. John built an impressive career at Oracle and SAP before transitioning into the bold new world of Blockchain. John joined Orion Innovations, a tenured software firm to help them modernize their offering and properly innovate and tackle innovative new markets. John understands that when technology moves as fast as it does today, the largest differentiator you can have as a company is the ability to educate and act as an SME (subject matter expert) for early-stage tech adopters who want to be ahead of the curve, but don't properly know the implications or nuances of whatever bleeding edge technology they're trying to implement into their existing business ecosystem.

Shawn doubles down on the importance of challenging companies' preconceived notions, and marketing through education. He strives for constant personal and professional growth to not only become more effective in his position but also notes that it is a necessity as a business leader. He knows that in today's fast-moving technology and business landscapes, if you aren't constantly learning, you'll quickly be outpaced and become irrelevant, both as a company and as an employee.
