In this episode, host Scott Luton welcomes special guest host Koray Kose to the show to discuss:
- Rivian’s significant hurdles and the future of the EV market
- The rise of agentic AI, which has the potential to transform supply chain operations by autonomously making decisions and executing actions based on real-time data
- The critical need for organizations to prioritize cybersecurity in light of increasing ransomware attacks
- And much more!
