Watch out for all those old devices with lithium batteries. The batteries will eventually go bad and could start a fire.
I recently found an old iPhone in my basement that was about to become a major problem. So go and check your junk drawers for any old electronics that might have batteries that could burst and start a fire.
Hey everybody, this is Chris Brandt, welcome to another FUTRtech video podcast.
What a year it has been, hard to tell it apart form the previous year. We have been through so much with the pandemic upending our lives.
I know I have struggled to find inspiration and creativity through this, and I know a lot of you have felt the same way. Now that we are faced with yet another major outbreak and what that may bring, it all seems overwhelming.
Meta Verse
Not meta in the sense of self reference, and not a verse in the sense of epic, lyrical poetry.
Rather Meta in the sense of greater or transcendent and verse as in universe. However, since the metaverse exists within the known universe it logically can not be greater than that which contains it.
Which is an apt description because, in the end, it is merely the illusion of infinite space, time and possibility.
Have you been wanting to know how to get more out of LinkedIn, but were afraid to ask? Well, you’ve come to the right place, because we are going to be talking about all things LinkedIn.
When John McGrath moved back to Dublin Ireland in the middle of a recession, it was difficult to find a job, and he leaned heavily on LinkedIn to make it all happen. From then on, he was hooked. For years he worked with LinkedIn as a customer of LinkedIn, but eventually, he got the chance to work for them, as a Global Customer Success Manager there.
I was recently called out for not having enough women on the podcast, and it is a very fair criticism. Out of the last 34 interviews I have done over the last year, only 2 have been with women. Today we are going to talk diversity and data.
Women are underrepresented in technology. It can be a difficult career path for women and the underrepresented people. Today we are going to be talking about diversity, equity and inclusion in technology and how that impacts the things we build, and at the center of that is data.
Today we are going to be talking about re-invigorating your career during a Pandemic with Organizational Psychologist Nick Tasler who appeared in Podcast #9 back in May of 2020.
When we first talked with Nick Tasler in May of last year, he was trying to figure out what he was going to do when the events industry went into lockdown effectively ending his work as a keynote speaker. We talked about pivoting, and Nick made a great pivot.
TikTok is a global phenomenon. It isn't just millennials busting out their latest dance moves. There is a wide range of content on there and some really great Science and technology info as well. In this video I showcase my 5 favorites for 202 and throw in a bonus one too.
These days, everyone is feeling the stress of their jobs and of the industry. With so many people just dreaming of starting over, I always hear, I am going to just quit and go work in the Cannabis industry. It is the modern equivalent of saying I am going to run off and join the circus.
But the reality is more challenging. It is a highly regulated and complex industry, it is illegal on the federal level so you are at the mercy of state regulations and an ever changing political environment. Then you have to be able to produce and sell a fairly technical and complex product that requires a high level of service to the customer. Making money in the business is not as straight forward as you might think.
Tips for keeping your family from interrupting your video calls, plus a quick unboxing and some ways to maximize you productivity.

We are going to do a short two part series on the Coronavirus. In part 1 we talked with Mark Janus from Janus Travel, who is seeing his travel business get crushed by the coronavirus pandemic. In this episode, we will be talking with Danial Hultin who survived COVID19, to get his perspective.
Welcome back to another FUTRtech video podcast. Today we are going to take a little detour into the Coronavirus illness itself. We have been hearing a lot about people who have been infected and the stories are all over the place. So today, we thought we would get a first hand story from someone who survived COVID 19.
We are going to do a short two part series on the Coronavirus. In part 1 we are going to talk with Mark Janus who is seeing his travel business get crushed by the coronavirus pandemic. In part 2 we will be talking with Danial Hultin who survived COVID19 to get his perspective.
Welcome back to another FUTRtech video podcast. Today we are going to take a bit of a different approach. We have heard from various businesses about how they are adapting. And we’ve talked about the impact of the illness. We haven’t talked about the people who are out there really struggling for their futures. The tech sector has been fortunate, because it has been enabling business in this environment, but other sectors haven’t been so lucky. Travel is one of those sectors hardest hit, and there is no relief in site. So, today we have Mark Janus of Janus Travel to talk about what it is like for people with small businesses who are faced with the destruction of their dreams. I don’t think we hear enough about them.
Chris and Sandesh from FUTRtech.org talk about what's next in tech after the coronavirus outbreak, with no agenda. How has life changed and where are things going after this massive disruption to all of our lives.
Today I am really excited to bring Shawn O’Grady to the show, because Shawn brings a really important perspective to the conversation. As a senior executive in a 9 billion dollar technology reseller, he has a unique perspective on the business operations of a large company, but he is also constantly in the field talking with customers and working with them to find critical solutions to their problems, so he has a great perspective on what is happening in the industry. He has led technology companies through IPOs and mergers, and it is probably safe to say, he has seen it all in the biz.
