USA TODAY reporter Terry Collins speaks with Austin-based tech leaders in this article.

This excerpt highlights ClearBlade Co-Founder & CTO Aaron Allsbrook’s point of view:

Allsbrook said he’s more interested in being a “change agent” by joining advisory boards versus politics. “I feel like I can make a bigger impact here than in politics,” Allsbrook said. “If you were to ask me what drove me to engineering, it’s simple. I like to build and deliver.”
