Episode 61: LIVE Podcast – Burrito Delivery, Emerging Tech, and Your Favorite Accelerant

Recorded LIVE at the SMB Online Conference!

(Conference attendees can see and listen to all four topics in the Conference downloads area.)

Topic 1: Where do we stand on burrito delivery?

Update on our year-old bet: Will your pizza (or burrito) be delivered first by flying drone or driverless car/robot?

Well, that driverless car might have lots of fees attached (see New York Times).

And of course industry news is hard to separate from “pandemic” news right now, but workforce slowdowns will affect the pace of technology adoption.
