TECHxploration

In this VERY special episode, David and Craig talk all things AI (artificial intelligence) with a true wunderkind, Kye Gomez. At just 18 years old, Kye has been coding for nearly a decade, and he's built, through countless hours of work, Athena -- a fully-functional business assistant. The conversation was ripe with AI tech from a philosophical standpoint to where the industry may go in a few years. We open up the show with a discussion on Starbucks' innovative, new loyalty program that is launching later in 2022, called Odyssey. This is a fun one!

Hosts: Craig Brooks (CEO) and David Forman (COO) of Clarity Creative Group in Orlando, FL

Executive Producer: Jaime ("Jemmy") Legagneur, Chief Enthusiasm Officer

Producer: Amber Amortegui, Lead Content Producer at Flint Stone Media

This episode is special for us, especially because Craig is a big blockchain/NFT enthusiast. Caleb Smith of Jefferson Capital and InfiniGods came on and provided a wonderful conversation about what the blockchain is, how it's being used, and even some ways it'll likely be used in the coming years. Technology of this magnitude is exciting, disruptive, and polarizing, so we're thrilled to learn more and we can't wait to hear what y'all think!

We had the pleasure of chatting with Teresa Rand, a.k.a. The Boss Lady. She's a successful entrepreneur who came from decades of experience in non-profit as CEO of a Georgia branch of the YMCA. The conversation was so much fun as we jumped from podcast tech to website software and everything in between. We geeked out on bourbon for a bit and got a little bit frustrated with BMW for trying to charge us monthly for heated seats!
