The Future of Work is Here Today. I bring this perspective to my board and board advisory work, corporate speaking, consulting, and my podcast. Follow me to see how connected frontline workers are creating value and working more safely and productively. Learn about how automation in Industry 5.0, AI, and ubiquitous connectivity are changing everything in energy, manufacturing, logistics, and more. @OfficialOGGN, #OilandGas, #Energy, #Industry40, #logistics, #SCM, #Leadership, #Board, #TheFutureOfWork, #FutureOfWork, #Speaker

Bring on the Xenomorphs! I wore this Sarcos exoskeleton in Salt Lake City in 2019... That early physical platform planted the seed for what Palladyne AI is building today. In Episode 68 of #TheConnectedWorkersPodcast, CEO Ben Wolff explains the critical difference between pre-programmed automation and machines that perceive, reason, and decide in real time. He walks through nature-inspired swarm intelligence that multiplies capability across military and commercial missions, how low-code tools can turn former line workers into robot programmers almost overnight, and why physical AI is becoming essential as demographics and labor costs shift. We also cover dual-use applications from anti-poaching and search-and-rescue to aircraft paint stripping, and the questions boards should be asking about the future of work. If you care about factories, infrastructure, defense, or how work is actually going to get done with the demographics of the future, this conversation is worth your time.

We are a constitutional republic, not a democracy. I voted in Florida today. Your turn! Power rests with the people through elected representatives, bound by the Constitution. Our nation only works when citizens show up and select the best to do that job.

Proof-of-concept hell is where most industrial AI dies... A tech has the right tool, the wrong context, and a job that still stalls while the permit burns. Ritesh Tolia and Michael Kaldenbach of @Telepresenz explain why frontline AI only works when it connects the work, the safety, the asset data, and the expert — in real time. Not another chatbot on a headset. We talk about why most pilots stay stuck, how change management actually works in the field, what happens when AI has to operate in Zone 1 environments, and how companies move from fragmented tools to a single path that delivers measurable value.

A work order can close green while the torque spec got skipped and the photo shows the wrong flange. Swaroop Kolli and oilfield vet Dan Fraser join @ConnectedAndrew on the gap between planning the work and doing it. 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Boards must emphasize oversight and governance on digital threats as well as opportunities…
Hackers spoiling food by hijacking fridges isn't a one-off. It's a preview. If it's connected, it's a target.

A work order closed green at 4:12 p.m. Torque spec skipped. Wrong flange photographed. The one person who would have caught it retired in March. That’s an execution gap. Systems that plan work (ERP, CMMS, etc.) are surprisingly horrible at documenting that it gets done right. This is the theme of Episode 66 of #TheConnectedWorkersPodcast . Swaroop Kolli & Dan Fraser of @AtheerAiR discuss with me the benefits of AiR Intelligence—context at the asset, guided steps, proof that still counts offline, and a feedback loop that turns expert calls into the next procedure.

Absolutely correct. Seeing a @SpaceX rocket land for the first time re-awakened the curious boy who watched the first moon landing and dreamed of the "Star Trek" future we were embarking on... Now, back to the moon to stay and on to Mars! I had given up hope of seeing those things in my lifetime. @Starlink, SpaceX, and @spacexai, @grok are all building blocks to that incredible future for humanity.
Donald Trump just gave the greatest Elon Musk appreciation speech I have ever heard. “Few Americans in history have done more to advance America's national interest than Elon. His genius and determination have made science fiction into reality.” The President highlighted Elon's achievements with: -SpaceX -Starlink -Tesla -Neuralink -SpaceXSI “Elon is our modern day Thomas Edison" No one deserves the National Medal of Science more.

🚨 BREAKING: In an incredible moment, Sec. Marco Rubio just WALKED OUT in front of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece to demand a resurgence of Western Civilization values and against mass 3rd world migration And he's doing it at the BIRTHPLACE of the West. Inject this into my veins. 🔥🔥 "The imagination of the western world. GENERATIONS of our statesmen...have looked to [Acropolis] with wonder, with awe." "2.5 centuries after the founding of the American Republic...I stand here today as a Secretary of State of that republic...I stand here to testify to a debt that no lapse of time, no distance of space can ever extinguish." "The history of America, of my country, is covered with the fingerprints of antiquity. Greece is literally carved into the architecture of our government." This speech is pure gold.

SECRETARY RUBIO: Today, we find ourselves at a crossroads because the next decade and the decisions we make will write the story of the next century. The course we take will determine whether the West maintains its place at the head of the world, or resigns itself to a future of atrophy, servitude, and decline. We will either choose to act now, or lose the choice to act at all. Under President Trump, the United States has made its choice.
