We turned the camera over to Scott Monty of Ford and had him interview us on our reflections pro and con of the trip. You can tell at this point that the four of us had clearly been spending too much time together. Enjoy.

Ford’s Scott Monty on Innovation & Social Media

The iRoadTrip team caught up with Scott Monty of Ford at SXSW, who oversees the company’s social media initiatives. We had a chance to speak with him about innovation, social media, and his various initiatives and challenges. While Scott really well articulates the programs he has put together at Ford, I especially liked his comments on the innovative culture at Ford and its leadership – enjoy!

Interview with Tony Hsieh

Following the Innovators’ Road Trip, we were all in Austin for the SXSWi conference. While the weekend was busy for everyone, I managed to sneak in some time to grab a quick interview with Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh. Because time was limited, I limited myself to the one question that was on everyone’s mind while in their warehouse in Louisville.

Hear what Tony has to say about the robots being used in the Zappos fulfillment process.

I caught up with Bryan Person from LiveWorld in the hall at SXSW and asked him several questions about how they’re innovating and what their clients are doing that’s cutting edge. Bryan and team were kind enough to buy lunch for the iRoadTrip team during our final push to Austin on Friday. Thanks!
