TECH SAVVY & STREET SMART \u2013 INSIGHTS FROM SILVERVUE\u2019S ERIC SMITH
We live in a fast-paced, complex, and sometimes careless world. And it\u2019s rewarding when we can learn from someone who is tech savvy, street smart, and amazingly successful. It\u2019s also impressive if that same person has the ability to connect with people and, in spite of their success, hasn\u2019t gotten caught up in what Tom Wolfe calls \u201cThe Bonfire of the Vanities.\u201d
This week\u2019s podcast features just such a rare person, Eric Smith, an entrepreneur and technical visionary who is the co-founder of SilverVue, one of Utah\u2019s most promising high-growth companies. Over the past 20 years, Eric and his business partner, Will West, have successfully launched several leading companies. SilverVue is a company that reflects the vision and experience of Eric and Will, a software care platform that solves complex problems, like providing a simple dashboard that monitors and coordinates patient care in and out of the hospital!
Eric has a real gift for developing sophisticated, yet elegant solutions to complex problems. Prior to founding SilverVue, Eric developed the intellectual property that has made all of his ventures with Will West successful: Control4 (sophisticated home automation), STSN (now iBAHN Broadband), and PHAST Corporation (home automation). Eric knows how to \u201cpivot on the fly\u201d to be successful. He is also grateful for everything he has experienced and for his partnership with Will West. Please enjoy Eric\u2019s passion for building great companies and for living life to the fullest!
