The Future of Tech is Human

On a hot summer Sunday night, I reached out to Joshua T. Berglan request for speakers on his podcast. He instantly connected with my story, values and how I go through life. 18 hours later we were recording!

Honestly, this is the best interview I have ever given. Joshua asked me 21 questions that he asks every person he interviews but the questions ignited something within me that made me answer from deep within my soul.
