New episode is out!
This one with Ryan Durkin, the VP of AI at Whoop.
I was dying to learn more about what a “VP of AI” at a growth stage health/fitness company does, especially crazy founder-type that came in via acquisition :)
We have a great chat in this episode about how the role came about, what the goals of it are, how he got started, what he’s learned so far, where they are today, and where they are going.
If you are part of a growth stage or more established company trying to figure out if/how to get AI more adopted within your organization, this one is for you!
We also get pretty philsophical, in terms of the why’s behind entrepreneurship and how it fits into the portfolio of life.
I hope you enjoy it!
