With this podcast, we are starting our quest to understand various efforts in technology creation, transfer, and use. We are perplexed and amazed (at the same time) at the pace of technology creation and the potential of technology to change the world. We are incredibly excited to explore how technology can be used to engage small businesses at a mass scale. Technology if applied right can develop a level playing field for everyone on our planet. We want to understand how one technology can be multiplied by applications in multiple sectors through collaboration. We want to understand how we can contribute. The series is named "what if and other possibilities.." partly because we are asking this question to ourselves and partly to our guests and listeners..thanks! for listening!
