Code Koalas founder Ryan Wyse joins Smart Companies host Kelly Scanlon to share tips on how business owners can avoid letting their technology become stagnant, use mobile applications to enhance their business and project a fresh web presence.

The company develops websites, content management systems, apps and other custom integrations that offer a business full functionality on the web.

Wyse was born and raised on a dairy farm northwest of Chicago. He's a self-taught technologist turned entrepreneur who got his start using complicated Excel spreadsheets to program an account balancing solution at a local bank. Accomplishing that, he taught myself to program using PHP/MySQL and started building websites.
