Sponsored by TeamViewer [https://www.teamviewer.com] – The Digital Workplace Platform Title: 19 Lives Lost in Minutes: How One Tragedy Sparked Satellite Tech That Could Save the Next Generation of First Responders Summary: In this powerful episode, Andrew speaks with Rod Goossen, founder and CEO of RoGo, about the 2013 Yarnell Hill Fire that killed 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots due to a lack of real-time situational awareness. That tragedy became the catalyst for RoGo’s satellite-powered DropBlock devices, which provide GPS tracking, tactical communications, and hyper-local fire weather data in environments where cell service and radios fall short. From wildland firefighting to hurricanes, earthquakes, and all-hazards response, RoGo is giving first responders and connected workers the life-saving tools they need to stay safe when infrastructure is wiped out.

From Audit Scrambles to Constant Readiness: Discover a Compliance System That Actually Works for Frontline Teams | Ep 54

Sponsored by TeamViewer [https://www.teamviewer.com] – The Digital Workplace Platform SHOW LINKS: * https://oggn.com/connected-workers/ * https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewchrostowski/ * www.x.com/@ConnectedAndrew * https://oggn.com/ * https://www.teamviewer.com/connectedworker * https://www.accupointsoftware.com * linkedin.com/in/jeffcianciola SHOW SUMMARY: Picture finishing a critical inspection on a rig or in a plant, only to scramble through spreadsheets weeks later when an auditor arrives. That all-too-common frustration is what drove Jeff Cianciola to found Accupoint nearly 20 years ago. In this episode, Jeff shares how his platform transforms reactive compliance into real-time, connected workflows that frontline teams actually use. Hear the story of an oil & gas service provider that went from fragmented systems to a single platform while pursuing API Q2 certification — resulting in fewer findings and significantly faster corrective action closure. Jeff also offers practical advice for leaders who want compliance to support daily operations instead of getting in the way of the work.
