I saw Salim Ismail speak at the @KPMG_Canada AI Summit in Vancouver. One thing that stuck - abundance mindset. What does your business look like when you're no longer selling a scarce resource?
Thank you again @salimismail, my entire team will be reading Exponential Organizations

I stepped away from @rootappofficial today to judge the junior engineering projects at the Greater Vancouver Regional Science Fair. I love that grade 7 & 8 students are pulling down Nasa data sets, running machine learning, 3D printing and automating with IoT.
