AI in the WILD - Hosted by Wade Kerzie

AI is moving fast. Most of what you read about it is hype, benchmarks, and theory. This show is none of that. AI in the Wild is about what AI actually does in the real world, right now, in real businesses. How solo operators, small business owners, and professionals in the middle of their careers use the tools that already exist to build things, automate things, and get time back. I build with AI every single day. GotaGuy, an SMS-native home repair company that runs without an app. TextPoint, a scheduling assistant that works entirely by text. Zorli, a mobile app in the App Store. No technical team. No VC funding. Just AI and a clear problem to solve. That is what we talk about here. Real builds. Real outcomes. No hype. AI in the Wild - Hosted by Wade Kerzie. New episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Amazon Music.

Sometime we have to take a stand in our professional (work) environment.  Most of us "take a lot" along the way just to keep the peace.  We choose not to make waves about everything that rubs us the wrong way.  But there are times when enough is enough!!!  This is one of those times for me...I hope this helps prepare you for when that time comes for you.

We dive head first into the NY trial, in non-legal terms.  What needs to be heard and what you need to take away from the whole event.  NOTE: a couple of accidental misstatements - did not mean to say “dancer” and at the very end, I meant “US Supreme Court”.  You get the point…enjoy

    Bleep! with Ana Navarro

    Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
