January 2018 I attended the iconic Consumer Electronics Showcase (CES) in Las Vegas. Four days and over 2 million square feet of nothing but the world’s latest high-tech inventions was more than inspiring; one can hardly imagine the energy emanating from a global convention like CES. The virtual reality industry coupled with fitness technology spawned some fantastic innovations. Black Box VR from Boise won startup of the year, and I was honored to get a few words with founder Ryan Deluca.

“Everybody believes in innovation until they see it. Then they think, “Oh no, that’ll never work. It’s too different.” – Nolan Bushnell
