Minnesota technology stories are flowing and we discuss several of them on this week’s show. The biggest story for next week will certainly come from the world-class Minnesota Interactive Media Association (MIMA) Summit happening next Wednesday. To discuss that event — and why it has been so fabulous in the past and is shaping up to be even better for the upcoming one — is none other than MIMA board president Tim Brunelle (site; LinkedIn; Twitter). Tim is one accomplished guy who has developed brand strategies, directed films, written and directed advertising and design, and user experience for huge brands (but as far as we know he actually doesn’t climb mountains).
Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott, Graeme Thickins and Phil Wilson.
Music: Some royalty-free music Borsch bought and everyone hates.
