In this episode, we welcome Dr. Aaron Krolikowski to talk about the work he is doing with several local non profit organizations. Dr. Krolikowski specializes in data, and he has a great ability to communicate the impact it can have. A researcher by trade and a civic tech activist at heart, he strives to build a more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable world. Additionally, we learn about the good doctor's favorite place to eat (any guesses?) and talk about what he loves about his new home, Las Vegas. He also gives us a sneak peak of a new endeavor he is working on that could revolutionize the way local organizations interact with clients.

This is also the first episode we've released where the hosts, guest, and producer are drinking. While that does not impact the quality of the program, we thought you should probably know that.

We wish this episode would have been sponsored by Mothership Coffee Roasters in Henderson, but its not. Alison had a pretty physical reaction to the goods at Mothership, which some people heard on our instagram. For those that missed it, we at least recap which pastries we enjoyed on this episode. Go for the coffee, but stay for the pastries at this fine local establishment. Please remember to rate and review us on iTunes or any other podcatcher you may use to listen to our show.
