JP and Luis Riera welcome JP's old start-up "war buddy" Scott Garrison on to talk about the second to last episode of the premiere season of SV. While they dig into the episode, they also hit some deep points about the importance of empathy in the startup culture and the impact of social and emotional intelligence. When the Pied Piper team see a start up at Disrupt that is testing microwave body heaters and claim to be testing it on young coder bros, it kicks off an important conversation about the ethical considerations of tech companies and the potential harm caused by products without proper testing.

Brian is a truth teller. He is direct, calls it like he sees it, and doesn't mince words. He and JP had an intense chat about what's been going in BPO and CX since AI hit the scene.

Luis Riera wasn't a rockstar HeroCorps member at the time of this interview but he is one now and we couldn't be luckier to have come across this unique, humble but courageous creator and emerging thought leader on consciousness and technology. We thought we'd save this for our HoSXQ series. Where he and JP get to know each other and talk about consciousness, espionage, The Planet of the Apes, Ada Lovelace. Definitely check it out.
