Coast 2 Coast – Across Ireland on 2 Wheels / By Justin Lambourne

I have always enjoyed cycling, its sense of nostalgia takes me back to being a child roaming the streets on my BMX during the endlessly rainy school holidays (I grew up in the UK, remember). Its shared history with aviation inspires me, the Wright Brothers were bike mechanics that learnt to fly (one of the Wright Brothers innovations – the left-handed pedal thread, is still used on almost all bikes today).

Blockchain is Not a Vaccine by Jason Bennick

Technology purists today will argue the actual validity for a need, or practical use of, decentralized ledger technology. In this argument, the purist might also typically assert with snub-nosed confidence that (relatively) everything a blockchain does can be solved with routine development and automation in the cloud. Fortunately for all of us, this is not the case. This is why it is important to understand blockchain’s value to business before diving into the hype. This means having a few… Read more

Blockchain is No Longer a Buzzword By Jason Bennick

The argument that blockchain is just a buzz-worthy fad is no longer a battle cry by its loudest critics. As we roll into 2021 from an ongoing pandemic, it’s pretty easy to find many Fortune 500 companies and household name businesses putting blockchain to good use. Many have already deployed solutions they’re using to make a measurable difference in how they do business, bringing us as consumers a better experience. To understand the use of… Read more

Inventory Leasing – Replace Inventory on Balance Sheet with Cash / by Kevin Geissler

One hundred ninety-eight times around the earth is a long way. IATA estimates airlines’ cash burn during the 2nd Quarter of 2020 at $51 billion, which, if broken down to US $100 bills taped together end to end, wraps around the earth one hundred ninety-eight times. As revenue uncontrollably plummeted, many airlines and supporting businesses have taken to harsh cost-cutting measures, including layoffs and furloughs of hundreds of thousands of highly talented employees.

Don’t Stop – Continue / by Abdol Moabery

I just got a call from a vendor thanking me for GA Telesis’ renewal of an agreement for next year. I told him that while I felt bad asking for a lower price in the form of a discount, it was the only way we could get it into the budget. He came back and explained that he was doing everything he could to keep his doors open and his team employed and that my… Read more
