How a connected light led to an internet of things operating system - with Spark.io CEO Zach Supalla

A stroke of genius. We all want it to happen while we take a shower or run or meditate don't we? But we all know deep down inside that it takes hard work and hustle to be exposed to the opportunity to have a stroke of genius - and for many of us it will never happen or will pass us by unnoticed.

For Zach Supalla, CEO of Spark.io - an open-source, cloud-connected operating system for the Internet of Things - it wasn't a single stroke of genius but many steps towards it as you'll see in this episode. This is a classic story of using technology to solve a specific problem and then iterating and iterating and iterating. Zach has built hardware, done two Kickstarter campaigns, shifted to software, runs an open-source community, targets makers and sells to enterprise - all within the life of this one company.

Yup, hustle.
