Member Digest: September 2020

Hey friends,

The gathering today was good old fashioned fun. Thanks to the approximately 60 of you for attending and welcoming the new members. And thanks again to all of our panelists for speaking to the group on advanced supervisory controls. If you missed the event, here’s the recording:

Like last month, I went ahead and left some of the breakout room discussions in the recording.

And… as I said during the gathering, I now have a place for you to submit podcast ideas:

• Regular podcasts submission form—I get a lot of emails and LinkedIn messages about episodes I should do. This form will let you submit them and then Maddie will be in touch when we’ve selected your idea.
• Friendly Rants submission form—Dennis and I’s 5 rants that we recorded in May are now all published. The final one comes out tomorrow morning! This form will let you submit your rants for consideration. Can’t wait to see some of your ideas!

There were 5 deep dives / members-only posts in September, in case you missed any of them:

• How overlay software becomes sticky
• 🎧 #017: Friendly rants volume 4: You can't get fired for...
• Side note: How have I heard no feedback from this? Zero, zilch, nada. I put myself out there, you guys…  
• Episode #18 reaction: three different growth patterns of the overlay
• Episode #19 reaction: sales strategy, digital twins, IAQ sensors, and buzzword bingo
• Episode #20 reaction: the three parts of an open API

Again, thanks for being here. Have a great week.
