? #149: Change My Mind: The Independent Data Layer: Episode 149 is the first episode in our new debate style series called Change My Mind. This idea came from Nexus Pro member Pete Swanson. So thank you Pete, and we love that our community continues to inspire us to keep experimenting with the pod. The first topic is the independent data layer, and the debate center’s on if all buildings over a hundred thousand square feet should have an independent data layer in the smart building stack. The conversation is led by moderator James Dice, and then flanked by an opposing team with Alex Grace and Gregory Cmar, and a supporting team with Silvia Quaglia and Shaun Cooley. Kenny Trowers is the judge and neutral party that the teams need to convince to one side or the other. This episode format also features recording with a live virtual audience of our Pro Members that can engage in a chat while the debate is happening, as well as come to the stage to ask questions at the end.
