Joining the conversation is Jeff Johnson, who is with ChatLab in Chattanooga Tennesee and a friend of Galen's. Together, they were part of the founding of LVL1 makerspace in Louisville Kentucky.
Galen talks about finding talent in makerspaces and helping them find jobs -- and he doesn't quite understand why some makers aren't interested in making money.

He's accomplished quite a bit with 57 patents to his name but no college degree. I see Galen as a kind of valuable prototype of a person, which I wish we knew how to create more of.
I enjoyed this conversation with Galen for many reasons, as you'll see.
