On this week's podcast, Modern Atomics co-founder Michael Braithwaite joins us from Austin, TX, to discuss his 30-plus-year career as an innovator and inventor of smart home and commercial AV technology. Mike and Jeremy recently re-connected, prior to his new company's launch at CEDIA Expo last month in Denver, and that chat was so insightful, that Jeremy wished afterwards that he'd recorded it for this podcast.

We also learn how the company plans to use its innovations in other applications going forward and look back on Mike's impressive career leading Crestron's residential systems group in the early 2000s, co-founding NetStreams, and helping bring more innovation to Screen Innovations.
