My guest today is Brian Ardinger. Brian’s been instrumental in building the tech and startup ecosystem in the midwest. After working in the Silicon Valley and Hong Kong technology scene, he came back to Nebraska to run Economic Development for Sarpy County in Omaha. His team recruited PayPal to Nebraska under his leadership. Brian opened the first startup incubator in Nebraska. He now hosts an innovation podcast that has hit Apple’s top 10 list and organizes an innovation conference called the I/O Summit, which takes place in a next week.
