Kiwi Innovators 12 - An interview with Simon Friend of Soul Machines

Kiwi Innovators 15 - Eugene Capon Social Media Futurist

This was a really great interview. Eugene is a fountain of knowledge on AR/VR/XR and all things virtual world. His knowledge of the Social Media and content generation world is great. I really enjoyed this talk and it made me even more optimistic about the future of the virtual world. Also, this episode has more external links than any other I have done to a factor of 10, so check out the links below.   http://www.capondesign.com/ [http://www.capondesign.com/] https://www.youtube.com/user/CaponDesignTV [https://www.youtube.com/user/CaponDesignTV] https://twitter.com/CaponDesign [https://twitter.com/CaponDesign] https://www.linkedin.com/in/capondesign/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/capondesign/]   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBMaC_xcbs8&feature=youtu.be [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBMaC_xcbs8&feature=youtu.be]   https://kiwiinnovators.podbean.com/ [https://kiwiinnovators.podbean.com/] https://www.technologyleader.co.nz/ [https://www.technologyleader.co.nz/]   http://www.immyinc.com/ [http://www.immyinc.com/] - the mirror-based VR headset I mentioned https://spatial.io/ [https://spatial.io/] - business conferences in VR https://www.remotelyhq.com/ [https://www.remotelyhq.com/] - VR team space on your own planet https://techcrunch.com/2020/09/16/facebook-ar-glasses-2021/ [https://techcrunch.com/2020/09/16/facebook-ar-glasses-2021/] - Facebook Glasses in 2021 https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-glasses-leaks-rumors-what-apple-smart-glasses-could-become/ [https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-glasses-leaks-rumors-what-apple-smart-glasses-could-become/] - Apple Glasses rumours https://www8.hp.com/us/en/vr/reverb-g2-vr-headset.html [https://www8.hp.com/us/en/vr/reverb-g2-vr-headset.html] - new HP Reverb V2 headsets https://www.oculus.com/quest-2/ [https://www.oculus.com/quest-2/] -  new Oculus 2  #seangmuller

Kiwi Innovators 14 - Retired Sergeant Major Jason Kappen USMC

This is a very special interview and episode for me. Jason Kappen and I not only went to boot camp, MCT, SOI, and were deployed to 2nd LAI and Desert Shield/Desert Storm together, but he was the best man at my 1st wedding, he is the godfather to my children and the namesake of my oldest son. But more importantly, he has spent a 30+ year career turning marines into leaders. His insights into what works and what doesn't are hugely valuable. He has also seen the evolution and deployment of new technologies into a 'huge' public organisation and the adoption and adaption of a 245-year-old organisation into the modern era. He would be an unprecedented asset to any organisation and the fact that he has decided to help prepare the next generation of military leaders through the JROTC program is a credit to him. I hope the organisation and students know what a great man they have. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-kappen-ab263b3b/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-kappen-ab263b3b/] https://www.marines.mil/ [https://www.marines.mil/] https://www.facebook.com/Ask-A-Vet-107486164387111/?ref=page_internal [https://www.facebook.com/Ask-A-Vet-107486164387111/?ref=page_internal] #seangmuller

Kiwi Innovators 13 - "Jump Out of Bed - 12 Naomi Tae and Sean Muller"

This episode I am cross-posting an interview I did on a truly great Podcast by Rumi Chavez, 'Jump Out of Bed'. I got to sit down with Rumi and Naomi Tae, a champion for Enterprise Design, and we talked about Enterprise Design, Enterprise Architecture, what the future holds for New Zealand and many other things. It is well worth a listen and so are all of the 'Jump Out of Bed' podcasts so subscribe to them as well. https://rumishivaz.podbean.com/ [https://rumishivaz.podbean.com/]   https://www.linkedin.com/in/naomi-tae-439897143/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/naomi-tae-439897143/] https://techweek.co.nz/ [https://techweek.co.nz/]

Kiwi Innovators 11 - An interview with Jono Luk

Welcome back to Kiwi Innovators, sorry about the month-long hiatus with the lockdown and everything else going on it has been a bit hectic. But the wait was well worth it. This interview with Jono Luk  Senior Director, Webex Applications and Integrated Collaboration for Cisco Systems is particularly on point in these times of remote work. Especially the discussion on remote healthcare. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonoluk/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonoluk/] https://www.webex.com/team-collaboration.html [https://www.webex.com/team-collaboration.html]   #seangmuller   https://www.linkedin.com/in/sgmuller/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/sgmuller/] https://www.technologyleader.co.nz/ [https://www.technologyleader.co.nz/]     Mentions: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ava-wettrick-973863153/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/ava-wettrick-973863153/] https://www.wired.com/2013/01/white-house-death-star/ [https://www.wired.com/2013/01/white-house-death-star/]
