Ok, this is episode is close to my heart with an old friend Adrian Floate I have known since I was 19 years old!  I'm 47 now so you do the math!  We both have less hair but more experience to share and I have done something I haven't done on an episode before.  I recorded a short story before the podcast to share with you because it illustrates the fortitude of this bloke.  Just amazing.

The best way I could describe Adrian is...visionary.  He has always been ahead of the curve by 2-3 years.  Sometimes when he explains technology to me, I remind him that I am not on Tony Starks level of intelligence and he kindly dumbs things down for me.

He started out in a tiny unknown office in the early 90's in Perth when the internet was not what it is today and he managed to convince Bunnings Warehouse in Australia (Perth) to use the internet for their online ordering system.  They loved it so much they bought it from him.

Adrian then parlayed that experience into an IT (Information Technology) career that brings us to today where he manages Australian listed company Cirralto Ltd which is changing the way businesses invoice and order through their supply chain.

I could talk to Adrian for hours but he had to go and pick up his new car!  Good reason to go.

Keep an eye on this guy because I think you will hear more about him over the next few years as technology in his sweet spot collides and matures.

This guy is definitely going global!
