The IoClothes Podcast : Fusing Tech & Textiles ™

In this episode of The IoClothes Podcast, we speak with Samuel Alexander Jr, CEO of Concept 2 Consumption about the changes he’s seen across the textile and apparel industry, and what he sees is necessary for success in the future. The digital revolution can be broken down into two viewpoints: better experiences and solutions for the end-user, and greater business value to the businesses involved. We discuss both these concepts with Samuel and learn what Concept 2 Consumption is doing to make this a reality.

In this episode of The IoClothes Podcast, we speak with Colin Touhey, CEO of pvilion. Energy independence isn’t just a geo-political challenge. We feel the pain with each and every device that “cuts the cord” from the wall. It’s inevitable our smart phones will be at 5% battery right when need to use the GPS or make an important call. Go figure. What if we didn’t have to worry about that? What if our devices became energy independent by harvesting the energy around us? pvilion is offer solutions that do just that through solar panel integrated into textiles.

This show we talk to him about why they chosen to use textiles as a base material for their solar panels, what they’ve learn from collaborations with companies like Tommy Hilfiger and the importance of business model evolution when thinking about incorporating technology into well-established industries.

In this episode of The IoClothes Podcast, we speak with Matt Kolmes, CEO of Volt Smart Yarns (a Supreme Corporation company). What I love about our conversation with Matt is his candor and willingness to admit they don’t have all the answers. But don’t be fool. Their award-winning technology speaks for itself. Like the “Show Stopper” award from the IFAI Expo in 2017. They also have their phones ringing off the hook with prospective partners. I’ll venture to guess it’s due to a mix of having great tech and a true innovator’s flare for being willing to take a leap into the ocean of possibility.

In this episode of The IoClothes Podcast, we speak with Shawn Harris, Global Innovation Strategy Lead for Zebra Technologies. The reality is, innovative products don’t just sell themselves and companies aren’t composed of just designers, developers and engineers. Someone has to interface with the customer, and keep the ship sailing along a strategic path, which includes profitability (that’s if you want to stay in business). Today, we shift gears and talk a bit about the struggles of retail, the importance of differentiating yourself in the marketplace and how are current relationship with MS Excel may be a sign of the future!
