  • Love this show

    I listened to one of Dave’s other shows, and finally took the time to look this one up and listen in the summer. One of the best choices I’ve made with regards to podcast. Under 30 minutes on most shows and full of great valuable content. And I love the addition of the Friday ai content. Things are happening so fast with AI and this helps me to try and keep up and learn about new opportunities to use AI in my life!
