Welcome to IoT Coffee Talk #171 where we have a chat about all things IoT over a cup of coffee or two with some of the industry's leading business minds, thought leaders and technologists in a totally unscripted, organic format. Thanks for joining us. Sit back with a cup of Joe and enjoy the morning banter.

In this week's episode, Rob, Leonard, Steve, Marc and Wienke jump into the metaverse to talk about all thing happening across the edge that is resulting in clouds forming everywhere from VMware Explore 2023 being held in Las Vegas! The theme of this year's show is multi cloud and generative ai, and that is basically what we talked about. But we kick off by remind Wienke that he should know who Van Halen is with a IoT Coffee Talk rendition of the Van Halen classic, "AMSTERDAM"! We still can't believe that the Dutch don't know who Van Halen is. UNBELIEVABLE!

Also, we finally clarify to the entire IoT universe how to properly pronounce Wienke's name. No, it is not pronounced "winky". Yes, most of us have been butchering his name of years!

It's a great episode. Check out the whole thing. You will get all you need to survive another week in the world of IoT and greater tech!
