About IT in the D
IT in the D is your insider look at the tech scene in Detroit. Started in 2007 as a meetup group in Metro Detroit for IT professionals, the IT in the D podcast was born in 2013 as an extension of those conversations. Host Bob Waltenspiel and co-host and producer Randy Walker are IT industry veterans, but IT in the D is intentionally more conversational and less instructional. Each weekly show has guests ranging from CIOs and local rock stars, to subject matter experts, local event organizers, and everyone in between. We hope you enjoy listening to us as much as we enjoy recording the show.

[…] Because I remember I met a motorcycle manufacturer that everybody knows it's two words. And they basically were like, what's on your mind? And they're like, if our IP ever gets out, we're screwed as a company. I go, yeah, but you still have your brand name. I give if somebody does a knockoff that does not. It's no different than Louis Vuitton's not going out of business because someone made a knockoff. But I'm just curious, is it an IP theft? What's the biggest, at least from your world, I'm just curious, what's always top of mind? Yeah, in this company, in manufacturing, it is definitely IP, and it would be customer data. […]
