Meesha and Robert talk about their companies, what it takes to be a good CEO, what they are working on, and the advances in research technology. There is a lot here to love and to enjoy, and this is one of the few in-person interviews that I’ve done. The audio quality is a little difficult because of that, but there is a lot of great content in here to make up for it! 🙂
