In this exciting episode of the Prompt Commander AI podcast, hosts Tim Roper and Allan Dubon sit down with Mike Todasco—former Head of Innovation at PayPal, current Visiting Fellow at San Diego State University's AI Center, and a published poet with over 100 patents to his name.
Together, they explore how AI is not the strategy—but the amplifier. Mike shares his journey from a curious financial analyst in Ohio to a Silicon Valley innovator, and why creativity, curiosity, and asking “why” (sometimes 36 times) matter more than ever in the AI age.
From automated lawnmowers and AI-powered city planning to helping kids with discover the world of AI, this conversation is full of real-world stories, laughs, and insights that show how AI can empower everyday people—not just engineers.
Whether you're a small business owner, a city leader, a teacher, or just curious about what AI can and should do, this episode will leave you inspired.
Stay human. Let AI do the boring stuff.
