This week's guest is Alec Ross, a technology policy expert who was Hilary Clinton's senior advisor for innovation duration of her term as Secretary of State, and author of a new book called Industries of the Future.

In this fascinating conversation - touching on the importance of coding, robotics and what we can do with a greater understanding of our own genetic coding - Ross outlines the advances and obstacles that will arise in business and everyday life over the next decade.  

Ross states that "land was the raw material of the agricultural age, iron was the raw material of the industrial age, and data is the raw material of this information age.  Those who own the data are the people who are creating the industries of the future".
