The Weekly Scale: March 1st 2021

This week at MarketScale, we locked in the hottest roundtables, praised our AI overlords, and I asked myself who is the Steve Jobs of B2B.

Close the door of the fireplace, it’s the start of a new week and it’s time to scale up.

Can data revolutionize how homeowners manage and maintain their property?

This week on Dirt Work, host Adam Morrisey sat down with a start up out of Austin texas that is aiming to use AI & IoT to make the home less expensive and demanding to own.

This week on Digital Directions, Radiant Technology Group’s Doug Freutel discusses trends for leveraging digital signage to create future flexible workspaces in this first of a two-part discussion.
