    Is Jackson's Food Company one of Milwaukee's Best-Kept Manufacturing Secrets?

    CEO James Marino speaks to the growth story hiding in plain sight. Quick Bio: James Marino is President and CEO of Jackson’s Food Company, the Muskego-based maker of avocado-oil snacks. James is born-and-raised a Milwaukeean and is a Marquette High grad. Connect with him on LinkedIn. Quick Summary: Jackson’s has quietly scaled its capacity 20X in just a few years. The reason why comes down to one unusual thing about their factory that most snack companies never get to start with. CEO James Marino walks through how a rare autoimmune diagnosis, a Shark Tank investment, and a shuttered brand all led to the “2.0” company making waves out of SE Wisconsin today. There’s a reason nobody touches the product from the cutting table to the end of the line and it says something bigger about where Milwaukee’s manufacturing talent fits into the future of food.

    How Schreiber Foods Works With Vadar Alpha To Use AI FTW.

    Who’s in this interview and what’s it about? Sri Kantamneni [LinkedIn]: CIDO of Schreiber Foods. Stephen Pounds [LinkedIn]: CEO of Vadar Alpha. Summary: In this episode, I talk with Sri and Stephen about what happens when a food manufacturing giant teams up with a scrappy two-year-old startup. They break down (in lemonade-stand terms) how Vadar Alpha helps Schreiber manage pricing, risk, and the “spread” between what it buys and sells, and why the best partnerships pair deep data and expertise with the agility to actually use it. It’s a real-world look at cutting through AI hype to solve actual business problems.

    Wisconsin Candidate For Governor Mandela Barnes On His Vision for Tech and Innovation.

    In this episode, Steve talks with Mandela on his take on innovation, startups, AI accountability, and why Wisconsin has everything it needs to compete if we're willing to invest in it. NOTE: This article is not an endorsement for Mandela Barnes. The purpose was to have a conversation about his vision for technology and innovation for the state. I have asked all eight Wisconsin gubernatorial candidates to join me on this platform for the same conversation and coverage. Mandela’s Quick Bio: Former Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin and U.S. Senate candidate. A Milwaukee native and vocal advocate for economic equity, he’s championed policies that expand access to tech, education, and opportunity for communities too often left behind by innovation. Now running for governor, Barnes is making the case that Wisconsin’s best days are ahead, if the state invests in its schools, retains its homegrown talent, and holds corporations accountable as AI reshapes the workforce.

    AI Inside the Milwaukee Bucks: How The City's NBA Team Is Using Tech To Win Off the Court.

    Guests Brooke Casazza and Michael Dairyko give an honest and interesting take on AI, data, and tech in sports. Brooke Casazza’s quick bio: LinkedIn Profile.Leads the Bucks’ revenue-generating tech stack, everything that drives ticket sales, marketing, and fan engagement, plus shapes the organization’s enterprise AI strategy from governance to real-world application.Came up through AT&T and Samsung with a gift for making tech easily understandable, which landed her in the Bucks’ IT team as the bridge between business problems and technology solutions.Michael Dairyko’s quick bio: LinkedIn profile. Oversees a three-pronged analytics operation covering data science, business intelligence, and market research, all focused on the fan experience and the business of basketball.Holds a PhD in applied mathematics from Iowa State, got recruited into sports via our Milwaukee Brewers, and landed at the Bucks after being handed a business card mid-conversation at a networking event.Summary: Brooke and Mike share how the Bucks think about AI as a productivity and revenue driver that touches everything from ticket sales and concessions to fan engagement. The majority of Bucks fans will never set foot in the Fiserv Forum so the team is building a connected digital ecosystem to engage, personalize, and delight fans wherever they are. From a PhD in applied mathematics (Mike) to a career in cell phone sales (Brooke), their career paths into sports tech were anything but linear and their advice for the next generation is refreshingly practical. Both see Milwaukee at an inflection point where investing in data, technology, and local talent could flip the script on brain drain and make the city a serious tech destination.
