The team is back together to talk about the latest news in technology and innovation and how it impacts the lives of everyday people. There are so many stories coming out every month on the looming recession. Jason Eder, Michael Baylor, and Laura Blake read the tea leaves through personal experience and talk about how a future recession could mirror the one from 2008. The team talks about the storylines that juxtapose an impending economic downturn with the growth of startups based in the southeastern region of the United States. With the death of iTunes in the latest IOS update and most recent announcements surrounding Apple TV +, the team wonders what is Apple's great value proposition as a company. What should we expect from the company that brought us Macintosh and the iPhone in 2019?To end the show, Laura Blake recaps the most recent Techwire Live Event, Fueling your Startup - Sponsored by Wells Fargo.
