AI, Innovation, and Community: A Conversation with Brad Griffith
What if technology could bridge equity gaps instead of widening them? In this thought-provoking conversation with Brad Griffith, founder of Buckeye Innovation, we explore how purposeful technology is transforming lives in unexpected ways.
Brad takes us on a journey from his early days as one of the first tenants in New Albany's business incubator to building applications that help students with disabilities find meaningful employment and assist justice-involved individuals in clearing their records. His passion for using technology to solve real human problems shines through in every project he describes.
The discussion tackles AI head-on, offering a refreshingly balanced perspective. "Is AI a threat? Yes, but there are so many other threats to business," Brad explains. Rather than fearing technological evolution, he embraces it while recognizing where humans still maintain the creative edge. "AI is built to give you the most likely answer. It's not saying 'I'm going to look at a totally different industry and see how it applies here.'"
Perhaps most intriguing is Brad's successful implementation of a four-day work week at Buckeye Innovation. When he announced plans to grow revenue by 25% while cutting work hours by 20%, skeptical colleagues questioned his logic. His response? "The behaviors that enable us to cut our work week back by 20% are the same behaviors that will enable us to grow." This philosophy of intentional rest and focused productivity challenges conventional wisdom about how we structure our work lives.
The conversation weaves together business innovation, family life, and community involvement, revealing how technology can enhance human connection rather than diminish it. Whether you're a business leader, technology enthusiast, or simply curious about creating more purpose-driven work, you'll find valuable insights in Brad's approach to technology that serves humanity.
