In this delightfully candid Coffee & Coals episode of #TheInnovationForgePodcast, host David Dysart pulls back the curtain on the quirky, heartfelt origin of the TIF Avatar, a tartan-clad, pajama-wearing, shark-slippered digital doppelgänger born from AI misadventure and Scottish heritage.

From publishing hurdles to unexpected ChatGPT "hallucinations" (hello, Forensic Enrollment Management!), David shares how a job interview, a confused search, and a dash of humor led to a beloved character and a branding breakthrough.

This episode also marks the official debut of Digsby Joinswell, the mole-inspired record keeper of the Consultant Cadre, complete with backstory, candlelight, and subquery sorcery.

🎧 Plus, a challenge for you:

What should we name the next Cadre member, the Field of Stats Mouse?
