"The Only Way is Through"

In this episode, Chris interviews Kerry O'Connor, the Chief Instigation, errrrr, we mean the Chief INNOVATION Officer for the City of Austin.

Kerry is a brilliant thinker with a knack for "falling in love with a problem."

In addition to their insightful conversation surrounding problem solving, homelessness, Irish-ness, and the City of Austin, Kerry FINALLY helps explain to Chris what this "blockchain" thing is all about.
