Welcome to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast. This podcast is for you. If you have an insane drive to find the truth of things, it's not the good answers that we seek, but the good questions. I interview a range of different guests from many different fields, all with the intention to uncover the simple truths that are hidden in plain sight. Most people don't want to go there. I go there, my guests go there, and you benefit. Please let me know if you enjoy these episodes and as always, subscribe on itunes, Spotify or wherever you listen to the podcasts.
Welcome to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast. My guest today is Adam Haney. He is the VP of Engineering at Invisible Technologies and an active angel investor. And I just joined Invisible and I'm and as director of Knowledge management and I'm very interested in this question of knowledge management. And I knew from my immediate, my first conversation with Adam that he also is aware of this and follows it and tracks it. So welcome to the show, Adam.
Thank you so much, Stuart. I'm so excited to have you on the team. And I also really, the first time that you and I talked, it just felt like it was going to click and it was like, wow. Somebody that's interested in how we communicate internally with the team and how we share the knowledge that's, you know, across our growing workforce. So really, really excited to talk to you.
Great. So knowledge management, what does knowledge management bring up to you?
