Astrid Jonelynas is one of Australia’s brightest young innovators and entrepreneurs.In this episode of the Team Guru Podcast we talk about her recent tour of Sillicon Valley – what she saw, how it inspired her and the barriers she sees to Australia biting off its piece of the tech start up pie.I ask her a whole bunch of old man questions about coding and we muse about the future of technology and the way it will change our lives.But most of all, Astrid gives us tremendous insight into the way her generation - Millennials or Gen Yers - view the world and think about technology. She talks about what they have to offer workplaces and the value they can bring to organisations.
