Podcast: Imagining A Food Self-Sufficient Village Of The Future

When we think about the smart home, most of us think about what is doable today.

But what will new homes and neighborhoods look like twenty five, fifty, hundred years from now as we face a world of dwindling resources?

That’s what my guest James Ehrlich thinks about every single day.  James is a former video game entrepreneur turned successful TV documentary producer turned CEO of ReGen Villages, a company that is building the ‘Tesla of Ecovillages’.   James and I talk about how our homes and neighborhoods will evolve to become interconnected and self-sustaining – what James calls ‘regenerative’ – in the future.

Podcast: Is Flavor a Technology?

In this podcast, I talk with Mikel Cirkus and Matthew Walter from Firmenich, the world’s largest privately owned flavor company, about the idea of flavor as a technology.

We explore how flavor can be broken down into different elements, how the speed of innovation and discovery in flavors continues to accelerate across geographies in today’s connected world, what it’s like to be a flavor trend scout (hint: awesome) and how the connected kitchen is impacting the flavor industry.

Podcast: Talking Artificial Intelligence With ArchiTECHt’s Derrick Harris

I caught up recently with my old friend Derrick Harris. We worked together at Gigaom, the once-great tech blog, and now, just as then, Derrick is the go-to guy to learn all the latest in the worlds of big data and cloud computing. Most recently he’s been digging deeper on artificial intelligence, so I thought we would catch up and dive deep into what’s happening in this market.

We get nerdy on this podcast, but we talk about how AI will evolve and how it will impact markets like the smart kitchen and the smart home.
