In Act 1, Tyler shares that he is about to be married this coming Saturday, which is the impetus for today’s intro and conversation. He shares the many traditions and reasons behind marriage, but then also the rather unromantic mention that at its core a marriage is somewhat of a contractual agreement. A very important one, for sure, but with the same legal connotations and responsibilities as many others that we might think of in more black and white contractual terms.

In Act 2, we are joined by Jason Heindel, Smart Buildings Solutions Architect at Faith Technologies (a strategic partner of Schneider Electric). Jason explains to us the history of Faith Technologies as well as what the partnership entails with Schneider Electric, as well as how the responsibilities of electrical contractors continue to change. Jason uses terrific examples of how connected technology can apply in the power side of a building by describing resiliency benefits at a nature reserve hosting – you guessed it – a wedding. He also details a point-by-point synopsis of what anyone designing or building a site should consider if they’d like to make their installation “smart”. Jason and I have never met in person, but have become friends virtually through our interest in smart buildings, travel, and food – all of which we’ve discovered about one another thanks to the internet.
