In a special role reversal, Connected Magazine editor Sean Carroll joins Master Integrator as interviewer, putting Paul Skelton — the podcast’s host and CEDIA’s Country Manager for Australia and New Zealand — in the hot seat.

This episode explores where the smart home integration industry has come from, where it’s heading, and why the time for industry reform is now. From building a nationally recognised apprenticeship program, to pushing for ANZSCO recognition, to expanding conversations around ethical technology design, Paul shares what’s happening behind the scenes — and what’s at stake if the industry doesn’t engage.

They also discuss the growing urgency around industry insurance, the importance of CPD education for architects and designers, and why collaboration with building professionals is key to long-term success.

Equal parts honest, provocative, and absurd (yes, sandwiches and basketball are discussed), this episode lifts the curtain on the work being done — and what it will take to finally get integrators the recognition they deserve.
