Recently, I toured Local Motors' micro-factory in Arizona to understand how co-creating niche vehicles with the help of a community with 30,000 developers, engineers and fans works.

Watch below for part two of my conversation just off the factory floor with CEO and Co-Founder John "Jay" Rogers who talks about the intersection of crowdsourcing and innovation. Then continue the discussion by posting your thoughts in the comments at the bottom of the post.

Don't forget to take another look at part one and the conclusion of our talk in part three (live on Jan. 14)
