On this week's episode, Randy & Josh sit down with Rachel Weissman, the CEO and Founder of Potential AI. Rachel has been the founder of several ventures, each one with a focus on purpose, integrity, and helping people unlock their potential. Even before her own ventures, Rachel has experience in the fascinating intersection of user experience and artificial intelligence long before it was a buzzword.

Although in different industries, our two ventures have very similar missions, so it was a delight to be able to hear about the What and the How that help bring Rachel’s Why to life.

From having more intentional conversations to common misconceptions around the concept of balance, and even to how we can use the power of storytelling within our lives - this really is an episode you don’t want to miss.
