Kingpin with Joe Grand

BarCode

Joe Grand is an electrical engineer, hardware hacker, product designer and the founder of Grand Idea Studio, Inc. He specializes in creating, exploring, manipulating, and teaching about electronic devices. Also known as Kingpin, Joe was a member of the legendary hacker group L0pht Heavy Industries, where he helped raise awareness of the hacker ethos and the importance of independent security vulnerability research. He also brought engineering to the masses as a co-host of Discovery Channel’s Prototype This, which followed the real-life design process of a unique prototype every episode.
Co-Host Pete Klabe joins me as Kingpin talks us through how he himself is wired. Topics include his background as a technological juvenile delinquent, the hidden benefits of Imposter Syndrome, dealing with the rollercoaster ride of success and failure, IoT, his ULTIMATE Smart-Home setup, ulterior motives of modern technology, and his awesome prototype of a pizza compass that has since replaced my GPS System.
