Nirpal Sihota has an amazing journey and has impacted so many throughout his career.  He is a first-generation Asian Indian and always embraced the learn on your own mindset.  After time at Cal Poly, he served industry in roles at Siemens as an integrator before coming to Rockwell in 2011.  He speaks to how connected the industry is and the impact that technology is having as companies grow in the future.  Items such as artificial intelligence and analytics are areas that Nirpal expands on as the impact is being felt daily.How people are getting work done now is something that excites Nirpal greatly.  He gets to see the front line of the most advanced changes in technology in industry and shares some of his passion around helping others solve industries' most complex problems. Learning from others within your organization is advice that he shares and one that he sees getting overlooked regularly.  Companies out there have extremely talented people willing to help others but each person has to take the initiative to ask the questions to learn and grow.Nirpal shares about his amazing family in California and his passion for sports including basketball and most recently golf.  His "why" hits home as he is driven to help others be the best version of themselves and that shows the heart and character of our hero!Guest: Nirpal Sihota - Director of Industry Sales at Rockwell AutomationHost: Chris GraingerExecutive Producer: Adam Sheets
