NEW RELEASE: All about Skydio 2! Episode 99 with @SkydioHQ's CEO, @adampbry + second half of the show featuring Skydio Public Safety Lead, @gdelepine

In summary, I've been hamstrung by a trifecta for the ages: 1. Global pandemic 2. New startup 3. New baby I did, however, leave off at episode 99... so 💯 is the only possible route forward. I will be back—hope to chat soon!

I also co-founded a new startup, @warerobotics—and, unsurprisingly, it tends to be somewhat of a time-consuming endeavor. And finally, I'm a dad to a new baby boy, Liam! Entering the world amidst a plague in a land of hermits, it's been a whirlwind of an experience.

If you're a long-time listener, you know that I make every effort to record *in-person*—and in many cases, I declined guests if they couldn't. The vibe is more intimate in-person, so the content is better. Simple. With in-person meetings an impossibility, the show has stalled.

It's come to my attention that some of you are wondering about the status of the podcast so here's the official announcement. I do apologize for the lack of communication— in May-July, as I waited for the pandemic situation to conclude... it didn't. Thread 👇

Finally revealing the results of all the hard work the @warerobotics team has put in. We've come a long way over the last 5 mo's since our pre-seed (led by @BloombergBeta). Peep the video we produced w/ @cevalogistics and see how our warehouse automation system works! 🤖

Personal news: Announcing @warerobotics! Ware is predicated on one simple fact: warehouses should always know where everything is. Mega appreciation for @minney_cat + @BloombergBeta for recognizing the potential & jumping on this early round 🤗 More here:
