Gordon Stannis & Twisthink

Gordon Stannis, like last week’s guest, Colin, helped create a smart lighting system. But where Colin wanted to improve our homes, Gordon wanted to improve our experience in parking garaging. This is a super interesting conversation where we cover both hardware and software, mesh networks, and much more.

Gordon Stanis: “People aren’t asking for this yet,” to which we would say that old Henry Ford quote, “If he asked people what they wanted, they’d say ‘A faster horse.’ Sometimes you’ve got to lead. You’ve got to explain the art of the possible and open people’s eyes.”
 
Joe Casabona: That was Gordon Stanis. Like last week’s guest, Colin, Gordon helped create a smart lighting system. But where Colin wanted to improve our homes, Gordon wanted to improve our experience in parking garages.
