from Today In Space · host Alex G. Orphanos

I can't believe August is almost over! It's been a wild month, and I'm catching you up on all of it. From lay-offs, to new opportunities, and the lessons learned from the last "era" of my career, we're diving in! The Space Conundrum is in full effect - and like many I am feeling the times as I enter unemployment. I chat about my last 8 years in the 3D printing industry, some stories from the early days, and all of the lessons I am taking away from that awesome time with talented people. On the other side of things, I am very excited to be on my new adventure fusing 3D printing + AI. A new chapter, new challenges, and more opportunities than I can pay attention to!
