That led to Chad’s thriving business today. Today, we discuss how Chad built an Internet of Things-like product before that phrase existed, before the hype helps your marketing or fundraising, and before anyone was thinking about the connected home.

Eric Clapton and Cream, Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Every now and again there’s a rock band who are global superstars, who also happen to have world class musicians in the band. But more often the great rock bands have a style and an ethic which is amalgamation of the players. But these players are simply world class on their own. I’d put U2 in this category. The four Beatles make the Beatles.
