As AI continues to expand and grow, it’s more and more critical that businesses not only adapt to using new tech but to leveraging it. To this end, becoming a company that creates custom solutions through innovative architecting is a wise strategy. This allows a business to remain on the cutting edge and to continue to meet the needs of clients, while others who do not adapt will, unfortunately, slowly fade. 

To address this need, I (Kyle) talked with Justin Fortier, Founder, CEO and CTO of FYC Labs. As we chatted, Justin shared the need for custom solutions, cultivating culture that’s not contrived, and what innovation is and is not. Justin also discussed the trajectory to team self-sufficiency, directing your value, and anticipating healthy letdowns in business.

“You don’t need to be Elon Musk to be innovative… You can be innovative in the way that you work each day and trying to find better ways–even if it’s incremental–to improve your workflow… your output… your teamwork… your leadership… To me, that’s innovation.” -- Justin Fortier
