Welcome to the BILT Academy Podcast!

Our nineteenth episode has been curated by our guest BILT Academy correspondent and previous BILT Academy Podcast guest Mark Wieringa. This month's podcast is the 2nd in our 4 part series on Open Source, and in this episode, Mark interviews Jon Mirtschin.

 The BILT Academy team has started into a busy new year with not only pressing deadlines educationally as well as professionally, but the team is also very busy behind the curtains to shape a program for the BILT Academy Summit. So, Mark who was scheduled to co-pilot this episode with David took the initiative to support the team by taking on the lead on the open-source subject. Which turned out to be quite a journey of insights, vision and core knowledge. Since all interviewees have provided the BILT Academy with elaborate information we’ve decided to dedicate to each interviewee a podcast episode that will be airing within the first half of this year. 

For this episode, mark partnered up with a long-time collaborator and inspiring veteran of the open source community, a source of deep knowledge and founder of many open source tools and initiatives. Mr. Jon Mirtschin of Geometry Gym. 

Here are this month's interviewees: 

  1. Jon Mirtschin, Director of Geometry Gym.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
