Colin Billings is a forward-thinking human and change-maker.

He first worked on Stitcher which changed the podcasting world we love today. After selling it he thought about what else he wanted to change and ended up with his home and launched "Orro" by securing investment from Yahoo CEO "Jerry Yang".
"Orro" is a responsive lighting system for home automation. It adapts to your presence and your habits to bring natural lighting and mood-setting without you ever thinking about it.

We discuss a lot of fun stuff on the podcast, some key insights include:

How the Orro switch was invented

The importance of and need for automated light switches

How to explain radical ideas to people and get traction

Why people would take the risk to switch from a stable job in a corporation to work for a startup.

Raising money in San Francisco

What makes a good boss and a great leader?
