Podcast: Guest Speaker on JC Giraldo’s Business Podcast — What is IoT?

I spoke to J.C.Giraldo at his Business Podcast for small business about my favorite topic — IoT.

My Podcast with JC Giraldo about IoT

JC wanted this to cover what is IoT and where it IoT today but led the questions to cover the state of IoT and evolving business models for small businesses.

You can listen to the podcast here.
