AgTech Friends (in the Bay Area or visiting!) - see below for an in person get together that Sachi Desai, Rhishi P. and I are co-hosting in a couple of weeks. We are excited to get everyone together live so we can catch up in person and share what's going on with everyone and with AgTech. We have a lot of fun talking about the space and thought getting a bigger group together once in a while would be even more fun - especially based on occasions where we get to do so like World Agri-Tech and World Ag Expo. I think Sachi may have been taking some Founder Mode (All In podcast joke for those that missed last episode) - this won't quite make it to 2000s really dope rave status (not that I would know - I had either 4 or 5 kids in the 2000s ...) I think of it more as How I Met Your Mother meets Big Bang Theory over dinner, where AgTech geeks get to be the cool kids for a night! For those old enough to remember MUGs (Macintosh User Groups), that's the vibe I think we're going for but our Fat Mac (256k - who could need more?) has been replaced by autonomous tractors and super cool gene editing tools! If you're too young to remember MUGs, Google will handle your questions (they were awesome) - just come and have fun! Having reached my exclamation point quota, I will sign off ...

The air is buzzing with innovation at Cisco’s 2024 Hackathon! For our 8th hackathon, 1,800 engineers came together across the world to develop solutions in networking, AI, and emerging technologies. This event highlights our ongoing commitment to innovation and strengthens our global community of engineers to push the boundaries of technology.   Some of my reflections:     - Great ideas can come from anywhere. 20% of ideas from these hackathons end up being shipped to customers, funded for more research, or even taken directly to showcase at conferences.    - A little competition can cultivate a culture of openness and collaboration as participants work towards a unified goal.  - It’s easy to get stuck in a day-to-day routine, but events like these unleash stored-up creativity.    Congratulations to all our talented engineers! We are proud of the creativity and innovation you are driving, showcasing the power of collaboration and diverse expertise.

China is the 2nd largest economy in the world and a leading producer in tech. To be honest it's impossible to host a tech show and not have China involved, so join me as we experience CES 2024 and explore how China is influencing the future of tech!" https://lnkd.in/dueCerAu

Sharing the Aikito vibes and magic. We discussed that a common issue that franchises and franchisees forget to think about ia how to build their brick and mortar. Such a key moment in time for any business. If done right you can generate revenue faster, lower your opening costs, and focus on the important parts of the business. Done wrong xxxxx you will make very expensive mistakes, take longer to open and spend precious time managing contractors. Better to do it the Aikito way.
