In this episode of The IoClothes Podcast, we’ll be sharing a featured presentation Ben Cooper recently gave at the 2018 Southern Textile Association Summer Marketing Forum in Belmont, North Carolina. The title of my talk, “Who Said We Had to Go to Mars?”. During the presentation, we discuss a common perception that innovation has to be grand and audacious. In some instances, that is certainly the case but the reality is that it sits on a spectrum. The false narrative that innovation needs to disrupt an entire industry is usually how and why programs crash and burn. We discuss what the spirit of innovation really means, and how everyone can start being innovative today!
Enjoy!

In this episode of The IoClothes Podcast, we speak with Gerry Elman, Principal of Elman Technology Law. When we’re building product, some time the legal strategy can seem like an after-thought. It shouldn’t be. It’s as integral as the product or systems you’re building themselves! We discuss with Gerry some of the considerations to be made as we navigate the legal mine field. He also shares an important ruling made by the US Supreme Court (Alice Corporation vs CLS Bank International) on what is patent eligible in this computer information age.

In this episode of The IoClothes Podcast, we speak with Hello everyone and welcome. I am your host Ben Cooper, and today we’ll be speaking with Jackie Trebilcock, Managing Director of the New York Fashion Tech Lab. As we’ve said in the past, the players necessary to usher in the future of a digitally connected future are diverse. This week speak with Jackie about what The New York Fashion Tech Lab is doing to build community, develop relationships and created a business development platform. Interestingly, their program focuses on women-led fashion technology start-ups innovating at the intersection of fashion, retail, and technology.
In this episode we won’t be talking about product but another important piece to equation as companies look to build “smarter” businesses.

In this episode of The IoClothes Podcast, we speak with inventor and e-textiles pioneer, H. Lee Wainwright. With the absolute utmost of respect, he’s a mad scientist! This was one of the most interesting and unique conversations I’ve had in the e-textiles world, and the demo I was shown stuck with me for a very long while after. The best way I can describe what I witness was a cross between an E.T. figure and an elaborate Christmas tree. Listen, Lee has been in the business for a while and led some incredible initiatives, from illuminating outfits that Britney Spears wore during her world tours to auction items showcased on the Rosie O’Donnell Show to projects with Disney and much more!
The focus of our conversation is on his new Opti-Coupler™, which at its core is a fiber-optic technology. What’s also interesting is Lee is inviting developers and fellow inventors to source the material of his system and collaborate!
Hold on and listen up because this just may be the solution to your challenges!

In this episode of The IoClothes Podcast, we had the tremendous honor and privilege of speaking with another luminary of the smart textiles world, Steve Leftly, Founder of Myovolt. To give some context: At the same time Stacey Burr and her team were working on cutting-edge innovations in the smart textiles space in the US, Steve and his teams at Softswitch and Fibretronic were on the other side of the world, New Zealand and the UK, also exploring the limits of smart textiles)! In this episode, not only do we get a history lesson, we also hear a fun story about how Steve Jobs, of Apple, used one of their projects on stage during the first generation launch of the iPod.
We also learn about what he’s doing now with Myovolt, and how he sees the industry evolving.

Today on The IoClothes Podcast, we’ll be sharing a featured presentation I recently gave at the Wear It Berlin conference in Berlin, Germany. The title of my talk, “The Next Chapter of Body Worn Technology”. During the presentation, we review a brief history of modern body worn computers, how it’s evolved and where we’re placing our chips.
I also discuss a key product development strategy we’re seeing implemented more and more. The concept: “open systems” versus “closed systems”. It’s a critical distinction and strategy to consider as we look forward to the next generation of body worn technology.

In this episode of The IoClothes Podcast, we speak with Stacey Burr, a true pioneer in the world of e- and smart textiles. Her career arch in many ways tells the story of the smart textiles industry: from a crazy team of scientists at Dupont creating novel materials without a clear end-use, to spinning out Textronics, to being acquired and leading wearables and smart products at Adidas. Stacey’s story is amazing and inspiring. If you think trying to get buy in from partners and customers today is tough, take the time to listen to this episode.

In this episode of The IoClothes Podcast, with Raj Bhakta, CEO of ThermaWear. Raj is an absolute rockstar! A Ph.D. candidate at North Caroline State University, Raj is working on some of the most cutting-edge research in the world of printed electronics on textiles. He’s also a SME Manufacturing 30 under 30 honoree.
What I love about our conversation with Raj is his ability to look deep into the potential impact smart textiles will have on us as individuals and as a human race. We get meta-physical on this episode. But what do you expect from a former physicist and philosophy major, turned nuclear engineer. We also learn about his start-up, ThermaWear, and how it’s tackling one of the biggest reasons for workman’s comp. Hold on for this week’s episode, because we’re about to go deep.

Today on The IoClothes Podcast, we’ll be sharing a talk I recently gave during a symposium at the Techtextil North America event in Atlanta, Georgia. The title of my talk was “Wearable Tech Is Dead”. That’s right, you hear it correct. I’m not trying to be cute, I’m being serious… well kind of…
During the talk I explain why we need to lay “wearable tech” to rest and share some tips on how to bridge the gap between the world of tech and textiles.
