Is There a Time + a Place For F*cking Around in Business?
Or is that your Super Villain trying to get your attention?
We all have one, a supervillain that is. Now the question is what does that look and sound like and how have we not figured out their purpose?
Entrepreneurs started off with a dream, usually a BIG DREAM. What we have heard entrepreneurs say after 5-10 years on their entrepreneurial journey is something like this:
- “Somewhere what I wanted to accomplish got lost.”
- “The politics of it killed me and my endeavor.”
- “The people around me just brought me down.”
It is an illusion that those who are GSD…
(getting shit done) …have it easy, and everything is handed to them.
- Do you find yourself admiring those who have grit?
- Do you catch yourself wishing you could tap into your creative juices?
- Do you see success happening only to those in the work-mode?
What if there was a way that you had missed and by tapping into it you could start realizing some of those BIG DREAMS you had after all? It is why we are talking with Jeff Leisaweitz. His body of work on this topic will surprise and delight you, as well as answer the questions asked above. We all love getting our questions answered.

Breakthrough Byte Wraps Up the Show
The Intersection Between Technology + People
Consumers and The Industrial Internet of Things
Most everyone has encountered or purchased some form of a Consumer-oriented Internet of Things device. Smart Thermostats, Light Switches, and Light Bulbs are common and relatively inexpensive. On the grand scheme of things all of the small’ish devices and the energy, time and effort they save add up to significant savings.
But, on a much larger scale, there are significant economies of scale to receive the benefits of The Industrial Internet of Things. Big players are jumping into the IIOT space. They are doing this for a lot of reasons, but the usual driver is ever present … money.
Corporations are willing to spend to reduce costs and increase efficiencies. Which means the investments made today will pay dividends for years to come.
What does this have to do with consumers? Why should people listen to this Breakthrough Byte care? The main reason is because, like racecars, the innovations developed in the IIoT space will trickle down to the Consumer IoT space.
Perhaps more important … these are the jobs people will be taking in the coming 5, 10 and 20 years. This Breakthrough Byte is focused on helping people understand a bit more about The Industrial Internet of Things and how they can make sure they position themselves to make the most of the IIOT.
Summary
- The Industrial Internet of Things is already shaping the way you work and will continue to be a hot area for job growth, innovation, and globalization.
- Every aspect of manufacturing is being impacted by IIOT – from the design (CAD/CAM) to the manufacturing to the shipping, and even the disassembly of products is being automated and optimized.
- IIOT is, at its core, about the decoupling of devices from applications.
- IIOT is about connecting THINGS to infrastructure (instead of to applications)
- IIOT is about Intelligent Devices that help people as services become better, faster and with higher quality
Every First Monday – Jeff Shuey wraps up Breakthrough Radio with forward-thinking perspectives on the intersection of technology and people.
