Welcome to IoT Coffee Talk #231 where we have a chat about all things #IoT over a cup of coffee or two with some of the industry's leading business minds, thought leaders and technologists in a totally unscripted, organic format. Thanks for joining us. Sit back with a cup of Joe and enjoy the morning banter.

• We keep coming back to the identity crisis of "IoT" and now "AI" companies
• Why wireless is important - Our experience at IoT Stars in Austin
• Leonard claims he was the first vLogger before YouTube!! How is that possible!?
