256 – Learning Communities with Ryan Chan
Learning Communities with Ryan Chan
It is my pleasure to welcome Ryan Chan who is the founder of Upkeep. Ryan has done a lot of work in building online maintenance communities..
He went to University of California Berkeley and graduated as a chemical engineer. His first job was at a manufacturing company where he noticed several opportunities for improvement in the technology that was being utilized at the time.
These gaps gave me the idea to build a software that could:
- Assist maintenance engineers and facility managers
- Improve workforce collaboration
- Improve parts inventory management
- And improve overall asset management

MD 151 Unlocking the value of Digital Transformation with a Unified Namespace
MD 151 Unlocking the value of Digital Transformation with a Unified Namespace
Scaling of Industrial IoT solutions requires a Unified Namespace, which acts as a centralized repository of data, information, and context where any application or device can consume or publish data needed for a specific action. A place where everything is a node within an ecosystem
Best described as “What one node knows, all nodes know”
If a Unified Namespace is so important, why do most of us not know what the heck it is and how to achieve it?
In this week’s episode, we talk about the concept of a Unified Namespace strategy early in our Digital Transformation journey to ensure the full potential of your investment and that it can scale. I am pleased to welcome David Shultz of G5 Consulting to discuss architecting a digital transformation solution.

MD 150 Allyson Hawley – Hazard Girl – Bonus Episode
MD 150 Allyson Hawley – Hazard Girl – Bonus Episode
Brought up in a mining family that had no time for gender stereotypes, Allyson Hawley, our guest on today’s show, was surprised when she began her mechanical engineering degree with hardly any fellow women students. Throughout her career in the male-dominated mining industry, Allyson has received a lot of support but has also experienced a lot of subtle and not-so-subtle discrimination based on the fact that she is a woman. As she explains, sometimes it’s difficult to identify discrimination, which is why it is so important to find a community that has your back. Allyson also shares the ways in which men in these fields can contribute to eradicating the issue of gender discrimination. We discuss how Allyson’s company is working towards increasing gender diversity in STEM fields, changes she has seen take place in her industry over the years, her take on the hiring process, and her thoughts about what it takes to create a sustainable future. Emily is joined by Blair Fraser and Charli K. Matthews as co-hosts and the combination of perspectives makes for an eye-opening discussion!
