048 – Matt Kolmes of Supreme Corporations – Yarn, Conduction, and Sharks, Oh My!

In this episode of The IoClothes Podcast, we speak with Matt Kolmes, CEO of Volt Smart Yarns (a Supreme Corporation company). What I love about our conversation with Matt is his candor and willingness to admit they don’t have all the answers. But don’t be fool. Their award-winning technology speaks for itself. Like the “Show Stopper” award from the IFAI Expo in 2017. They also have their phones ringing off the hook with prospective partners. I’ll venture to guess it’s due to a mix of having great tech and a true innovator’s flare for being willing to take a leap into the ocean of possibility. For more information on Volt Smart Yarns, check out their website at www.supremecorporation.com. Support for this episode is brought to you by SKIIN.
