00:49:16 Brandon Dwight: Patrick Armitage
00:50:53 Una Herlihy: Reacted to “Culture is a convers…” with 👍
00:52:23 Link: I always find it ironic that it’s supposed to be “people, process, and technology,” but culture, ethics, people and relationships always are discussed last. It’s not just about the business and protecting IP and bottom line; relationships with the people, training, education, and gathering input should be the thing that comes first moving forward. There is no doubt that AI is disrupting the future of work industry. We need to start with people first.
00:52:40 Patrick Armitage: In the fitness tech world I’ve seen integrations and aggregation that flow consumer data from one platform to another that are arguably a Competitor AND a Frenemy AND a Strategic Partner. Sometimes money oiled the wheels. Sometimes clients demanded the integration. At the end of the day the consumer benefited. First mover also mattered to negotiate the best possible
frenemy partnership”
