Just imagine if you could sit down with a solicitor specialising in Intellectual Property (IP) and ask them everything you need to know at the beginning of your tech journey. Well, we did just that with Kerry Russell, an IP Lawyer at Shakespeare Martineau, which is one of our Associate Sponsors. Kerry gives us an overview of IP and the main IP rights that people need to know about, then she responds to some questions sent in by our community. If you want to go straight to the questions then please skip to 22 minutes into the episode.Question 1: What's the best way to protect your side project from being copied?Question 2: What do you think is currently the most efficient method of commercialising shared IP and how do you see this evolving over the next 5 years?Question 3: How quickly do you think the law will catch up to advanced technology and its uses in assigning ownership and governance over IP - for instance using NFTs to assign IP ownership is currently possible. Will it stay that way or is it likely to change when the law catches up?Subscribe to the podcastIf you'd like to have new episodes of the show appear right in your podcast player, you can subscribe via our page on Apple Podcasts and follow the show on Spotify, or search for us in your podcast app of choice!Notes and LinksThis interview was recorded online by Sarah Lister, Membership Coordinator at Sheffield Digital, on 14th November 2024.

iChange Justice Podcast host, Joy Gilfilen, talks with Alex McLean, whose diverse background in environmental journalism, building trades and community leadership led him into an activist role in the Pacific Northwest. He served two 3-year terms on the Bellingham Greenways Advisory Committee and helped craft the Levies that voters of Bellingham approved Alex speaks of systemic entropy as one of the biggest challenges we are facing today. The conversation ranges from conflict theory, economic failures, regulatory capture, the social justice impacts of climate change that are leading ultimately to systems collapse. The question is - what can we do about it? The answer is: Tackling the challenges in local small community groups where integrating wisdom, common sense and new knowledge works. We discuss the challenges we all face when civic systems implode from expensive political, bureaucratic and legal bottlenecks. White paper-glutted and gentrified systems are often not grounded in earth wisdom and natural sciences. This leaves us victim to degenerative behaviors, where non-natural interlocking systems stifle innovation and create waste, decay and stagnation. Involving the community in early problem-solving is about conservation, preservation and regeneration.

How did you get here?Dash Tabor shares her journey to becoming the founder of an AI machine learning startup.Dash Tabor didn't expect to work in tech, never mind to start her own deep-tech company specialising in the application of AI for small and incomplete datasets.Growing up, she felt that tech wasn't her, that it was too complicated and too ‘mathy'. However, after completing a Masters in City Planning and Sustainable Development, Dash needed a job and landed an admin role in a tech company. From this point, she started to develop an interest and passion for data, and so her journey to tech founder began.She gathered different skills, learning how to spot opportunities both in tech and in the market, and she watched different people doing things in different ways.Living and working in London it was the busy and over-crowded tube journeys she had to take every morning that gave Dash the impetus to found her own company, developing technology that could predict the peaks at London tube stations on just small amounts of data.Since this point in 2020, she has moved to Sheffield setting up her business, Tubr, at Sheffield Technology Parks. She has hired, secured customers, gained funding from Angels and Venture Capitalists, and Tubr has patent pending technology.Dash says that the point she stopped being scared of failure was the point at which the business started doing well.Hear about all of this and much more in the 20 minute interview between Dash and Sarah Lister.Subscribe to the podcastIf you'd like to have new episodes of the show appear right in your podcast player, you can subscribe via our page on Apple Podcasts and follow the show on Spotify, or search for us in your podcast app of choice!Notes and linksDash was interviewed online by Sarah Lister, Membership Coordinator at Sheffield Digital, on 9th May 2023.Every episode comes with a list of links to the companies we reference.TUBRSheffield Technology ParksDash on LinkedInSheffield Women in TechSheffield DigitalDid we miss something you're looking for?

Imagine being born with a gift for music, playing piano, drums, and bass so well that you were recruited by Julliard and other top music schools, but then giving it up because it was too easy and you really loved basketball. That was the path chosen by Alex McLean, who didn't play organized ball until he was 18 and then had to learn the game at two junior colleges. His dedication eventually earned a college scholarship to Liberty University, where Alex became a prolific scorer and rebounded.But though he got good enough to star in several pro leagues overseas, Alex took another diversion when he gave up playing to start his coaching career. An unexpected call from the Washington Wizards led to him overseeing G-League assignments, and he worked his way up to lead the team's player development. Alex has also become a go-to coach in women's basketball, working with the likes of Kiki Rice and Paige Bueckers, and recently started a school with his business partner to give back to the DC community.Listen up as Alex shares:·       Why he turned down a lucrative pro deal in China to become a GA for $800 a month at Liberty U·       How being the first player in the gym for a year can help you win a roster spot·       What Paige Bueckers finishing a training session with one shoe showed about her·       How John Wall's Achilles injury and a commitment to serving helped establish his NBA career·       Why doing the unseen work today prepares you for tomorrow's opportunityLearn from Alex's lead-by-example mentality on Instagram @alexmcleanbball

‘Sheffield Digital Insight' focuses on careers in the tech sector. In a series of interviews with people who work in the Sheffield City Region, we are starting a conversation about different roles, the skills you need or can expect to learn, and everything that is exciting and inspiring about working in tech.  This episode features Ryan Temple who is Head of Product Development at Tes. Sarah asks him about the main skills and tasks involved in the job, how his career has progressed, which parts of the job he finds challenging and which aspects he enjoys the most, and what it's like working for the company. Tes has evolved from a printed newspaper supplement to support schools and teachers with their work, into a leading education business and global digital community. In 2018, Tes opened an office in Sheffield and here the evolution continues, with the announcement of a new Engineering Hub in 2021 and the creation of 20 new roles in the city.

In this episode, we re-welcome a past guest, Alex McLean, an avid musky fisherman from Minnesota. Alex is also one of the new organizers of the annual Musky Battle. While we admittedly lack any extensive live imaging experience, Alex is passionate about this topic, and he comes on to share some of his thoughts. We talk about this very polarizing debate, Alex's season, some Minnesota trip tips, and more. Nick opens an invite to the general public to crash at his new place in Georgian Bay (tell a friend to tell a friend).

In this week's episode, we hand the ropes off to some of the old and some of the new minds behind the annual Musky Battle. Jeff Contreras (back by popular demand) is joined by Ben Stone, Alex McLean, and Joseph Biebert to talk about their plan for this year's various stages of the Battle. We talk about some changes, challenges, pros, cons, stories , and what to expect. As usual when Jeff is around, we close out by going down a rabbit hole about life.

Alex McLean is an esteemed psychiatrist, mentor, and friend, and the first repeat guest on the Wise Elders Podcast. First, Matt updates her on his quest to discover the secret sauce of wisdom (3:54). Then they discuss how to wisely respond to unwise behavior in the world, particularly human cruelty (15:55).

For the first time in a long while, we are venturing beyond our own realms, and invite a guest from a scene not so different from ours: We have a chat with Alex McLean, a key figure of the Algorave movement, about the similarities and differences of our scenes and creative process. Let's see if we can draw some inspiration from each other! Algoraves have been an ever-growing trend over the past ten years, in which musicians livecode their music to please the dancing masses. Also, we chat about the Revision Satellites, share some exclusive insights into the survey they held earlier in the year, and reflect on Lovebyte that just happened prior to recording (and get Okkie to say "...in DOOOOOS" one more time.)

2022 is off to a rocky start: A supply chain crunch, a talent shortage, and campaign measurement challenges are just a few issues on the agenda. But BMW's new GM for Marketing Alex McLean says it's a great time to start – demand has never been so much higher than supply. Digital attribution is a growing challenge, Origin's Sara Varnell says, and the big measurement companies haven't cracked it yet, but she's working with Atomic 212° on an AI-fuelled platform to keep track of valuable conversion data. Atomic212°'s National Managing Director, Rory Heffernan, says clients are facing targets based on historical figures that they can't replicate. Asier Carazo and Sarah O'Leary, both from Atomic212°, say the days of annual planning are gone and brands being brave is key to success.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mel follows-up with Dan and Andrew from Airship, delves into some Sheffield history and finds out the highs and lows of reinventing a tech business. If you listened to https://sheffield.digital/posts/sdp-72-airship-and-mina-two-of-sheffields-most-exciting-startups-talk-about-their-journeys-so-far/ (Episode 72) of this podcast, you will have heard us chat with two very successful start-ups: Mina and Airship. You will also have discovered that Airship isn't really a start-up; the company was originally set up in 2003. Since then, it's grown, shrunk, pivoted and changed from being an agency that “sells hours” to a SaaS technology business. Mel wanted to find out more – what's that journey like and what does it take to make the change from being a lifestyle business to a high-growth business with a clear exit strategy? So this is a special follow-up episode, hearing from two of the senior people in the business about their journey. The guests for this episode are Dan Brookman, CEO, and Andrew Whiteley, Director, from Airship. As this is a “special” episode, there's no news or updates, just an in-depth interview. We hope you enjoy it and, if there are other stories you'd like us to explore, please let us know.

And here are our guests: Julian Cole, Lead Developer, and Andrew Whiteley, Director, from Airship. Laurie Nicholas, Principal UX Developer, and Ashley Tate, Co-Founder, from Mina. It was so nice to hear about these exciting startup journeys, how the companies have adapted since COVID-19, and future plans.

In episode 70 of the Sheffield Digital Podcast, Iain and Mel share the news that the podcast is going on a short pause. But more importantly, we want your feedback on how we can make it much better.  What kind of feedback are we talking? Well, we’ve been recording since 2017 and we’ve had a fairly consistent interview/news format throughout. This last 12 months has seen us record online rather than in person, and that actually gives us more options.  This is a short show. Have a listen, then have a think, and then let us know what might tickle your fancy. Seasons? More panel discussions? Shorter episodes? Dare we say… sponsorships? We are very much all ears and happy to take all thoughts on board.  You can contact us through the https://sheffield.digital/slack/ (Sheffield Digital Slack community) or email info@sheffield.digital and we’ll get it there.  Subscribe to the show If you’d like to have new episodes of the show appear right in your podcast player, you can subscribe via https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/sheffield-digital-podcast/id1272667962?mt=2 (our page on Apple Podcasts) or search for us in your podcast app of choice!

In this final episode of 2020, Iain, Mel and Chris look back on what has been a year of unique challenges for Sheffield's digital businesses and community members. After sharing a few personal reflections, we turn to the kinds of difficulties the community has faced, as well as the different ways people have used their creativity and generosity to help others in need. Finally, Mel and Chris look ahead to the coming months and what 2021 may have in store for us all. We finish by thinking about Sheffield Digital itself and how it can strengthen its influence and support even more people in the years ahead.

In the first part of the episode, we speak to Dean about some of the data captured by TribePad recruitment software over the last six months. Having spoken to Commercial Director, Neil Armstrong at the start of the pandemic, it was interesting to hear the state of play now.  We then went on to talk to Dean about what it means in practice to try and make a company climate positive. He shares some of the things he and the TribePad team have done to offset their carbon impact, which includes planting trees (“you can never have enough trees”).

Deep sea fisherman Alex McLean (1932-2019) recounts how he was saved in Stornoway, Scotland, in 1954 in his early 20's. He had tried boxing, dancing, smoking and drinking, but discovered that life is empty without Christ. John Noble Steven showed kindness to Alex and shared the gospel with him. Taken to a gospel meeting the Lord saved Alex the very first time he heard the gospel preached. There follows an incredible account of Alex's life at sea, which includes the The post “Man Overboard!” – Stories of the Sea (51 min) first appeared on Gospel Hall Audio.

In episode 63 of the Sheffield Digital Podcast, we speak to people from three different companies to hear how they are approaching the return to office working. Or maybe they’re not! A little spoiler there.  The show features: Dan Kirby, Co-founder of The Tech Dept. Sarah Mackie, Head of HR at Zoo Digital Mai Mai Lam, Director of HR Operations and Site Management at WANdisco  And what a fascinating conversation we had. We talked at length about how each company is tackling the next few months.

Alex McLean (1932-2019) preaches a powerful message on the need for godly men, referencing three prayers in the Bible: “Help Lord” (Psa 12:1), “Speak Lord” (1 Sam 3:9) and “What, Lord?” (Acts 9:6). Alex was a preacher who came across in his delivery with fervour and earnestness as he pressed the claims of Christ on the lives of believers. He weaves into his message a number of telling anecdotes and references from his own experience with the Lord (Message recorded The post Alex McLean – The Godly Man (44 min) first appeared on Gospel Hall Audio.
