He Builds Software That Reads Your Car's Data 250 Times a Second | Dave LT

Dave LT works with a company that pulls data from connected cars to make roads safer: Compass IoT.

He grew up in a small corner of Australia, watching the rest of the world through a TV screen and assuming he'd never really register in it.

Self-confidence began to disappear in high school, but when he started saying yes, he learned that trying actually makes things possible.

In this episode we got into:
→ How your car sends back 250 data points a second, and what that means for safety and privacy
→ A bus crash near his home that the data saw coming long before any accident report did
→ Why he left a company he'd built to join one he believed in more
→ Building Invest Rural to connect founders with the investors they'd never meet otherwise
→ The advice he'd give his younger self: back yourself

The most capable people I meet are still fighting the voice that says they don't deserve to be there. Dave runs a company saving lives with road data and still wants to get better at trusting his own judgment... This gap is more common than any of us care to (or can) admit.

Dave, thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing with me your time and passion!
