02/20/17: Not exactly IKEA furniture

While many might be thinking about the next big thing in software, one Brooklyn facility is focused on hardware. We’ll talk about the history and future of New Lab, a building that has several companies sharing its space to build new products. Joining us on today’s show: David Belt, its cofounder; Sean Petterson, the cofounder of Strong Arm, which makes exoskeletons for industrial workers; and Jessica Banks from Rock Paper Robot, a kinetic furniture company (think levitating tables).
