    Launching Wooden Boy Industries: CitizenAI, Open Models, and the Midwest AI Opportunity

    EPISODE DESCRIPTIONJason is launching Wooden Boy Industries, his own AI consulting practice focused on AI consulting, education, workforce development, and solution architecture. He is staying on as an advisor to CitizenAI, where he spent part of this year helping the platform get its footing with Silicon Valley engineers he still credits for a lot of his growth. Jason and Weekly Blitz co-host Julie Koehrer break down a loaded AI news week: New York became the first state to sign a statewide moratorium on new hyperscale data centers, Moonshot AI released Kimi K3, an open source model with roughly 2.8 trillion parameters, and former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab shipped its first open weight model. Jason argues the real story is on-prem. Companies are realizing the smartest labs might be training on their business data every time they run a workflow through a closed model, and Figma's Claude Design problem is the cautionary tale he keeps coming back to. Also covered: Apple's trade secret lawsuit against OpenAI, the ongoing Musk and Altman back and forth, and a meme about orbital data centers that had to happen.

    AI in Catholic Education: What K-12 Schools Owe Their Students

    EPISODE DESCRIPTION Schools should not race to keep pace with the digital world. They should give students what the digital world cannot: shared time for learning and trustworthy relationships. Jason Padgett sits down with Lewis Poché of the University of Notre Dame’s Alliance for Catholic Education to ask what that principle demands in the age of AI. Lewis makes the case for teaching AI literacy before handing young students unrestricted tools. He explains why schools must protect the learning process instead of judging only the finished product, how sycophancy and anthropomorphism can distort a child’s relationship with AI, and why blanket bans repeat mistakes schools made with social media. The conversation moves from kindergarten image-analysis lessons to Pope Leo XIV’s Magnifica Humanitas, teacher use of AI, student guardrails, and the three dimensions of AI literacy: technical, dispositional, and practical. ABOUT THE GUEST Lewis Poché is the Associate Program Director of Higher-Powered Learning at the University of Notre Dame’s Alliance for Catholic Education. A member of the 26th ACE Teaching Fellows cohort, he taught middle school math and science at Sacred Heart Nativity Schools in San Jose after studying engineering and philosophy at Southern Methodist University. His work helps Catholic school educators and leaders connect technology decisions to student formation, human dignity, and sound teaching practice.

    Eighty Hours in Ninety Minutes: What AI Agent Teams Change

    ABOUT THIS EPISODE This Weekly Blitz episode explains how non-technical professionals can coordinate AI agents, choose among current frontier and open models, and identify a first task worth automating. It answers why model routing and local inference matter, how human edits can train a reusable writing skill, and what AI changes in classrooms when producing the answer becomes easy. ABOUT THE CO-HOST Julie Koehrer is an on-air personality and branding and marketing consultant at Lafayette’s Q106.7.

    TechPoint and CICP: Indiana's AI Talent Pipeline and Startup Bet

    EPISODE DESCRIPTIONIndiana's AI future will be decided by the people willing to build, teach, fund, hire, and keep learning now. Jason talks with Chris Hutchinson, Director of Engagement at TechPoint, about how TechPoint and CICP connect Indiana's tech economy through the Indiana AI Innovation Network, CIO and CDO peer groups, founder support, Xtern, Xtern Challenge, and the Mira Awards. The conversation moves from hockey and Hoosier hospitality into the hard questions: whether Indiana can support both big-company attraction and small startups, how higher ed is leaning into AI, why K-12 cannot stay risk-averse forever, and what the average worker may feel by 2027. Chris makes the case for collaboration as Indiana's edge. Jason pushes the education and workforce angle harder: students need to create with AI, not simply consume with it.ABOUT THE GUESTChris Hutchinson is Director of Engagement at TechPoint, the CICP initiative focused on Indiana's technology community and digital innovation economy. He works across engagement, community, business development, member relationships, and TechPoint's peer networks.

    Protecting Our Kids in the Age of AI With Former DOJ Prosecutor Tiffany Preston

    EPISODE DESCRIPTIONTiffany Preston spent 19 years putting away the kind of people most of us never want to think about. As a federal prosecutor she convicted Buster Hernandez, the "Brian Kil" sextortionist who threatened at least 375 kids and drew a 75-year sentence. So when she talks about how AI is changing crimes against children, it lands differently.She and Jason get into the part that should worry every parent. Generative AI has made it nearly impossible to prove whether an explicit image is real, and predators are weaponizing that against kids who never did anything. A kid gets a message: a video of you exists, pay up or it goes to everyone you know, and good luck proving it is fake.Her advice is specific and hard-won. Back away from the phone. Do not respond, because engaging is what the predator wants. Get law enforcement involved, and tell your kid you will love them even if they made a mistake, because shame is the weapon. They also cover the family safe word that beats AI voice-cloning scams, the Character.AI case, The Anxious Generation, and why you cannot out-tech your own children.CONTENT NOTEThis episode discusses online child exploitation, sextortion, and suicide. If you or someone you know needs support, call or text 988.ABOUT THE GUESTTiffany Preston spent 19 years as a federal prosecutor, most of them as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of Indiana, where she specialized in internet crimes against children and served as the district's Project Safe Childhood, Human Trafficking, and Kidnapping Coordinator. She prosecuted Buster Hernandez, the "Brian Kil" mass sextortionist sentenced to 75 years in federal prison for crimes against at least 375 minors.

    OpenAI's $50M People-First AI Fund: How Nonprofits Win

    EPISODE DESCRIPTION OpenAI is handing out 50 million dollars in unrestricted cash to nonprofits, and the application closes July 15. Julie is off this week, so Jason Padgett brought in his boss, CitizenAI Chief Operating Officer Oliver Belanger, to break down the OpenAI Foundation's 2026 People-First AI Fund and what it takes to actually win it. The pitch is almost suspiciously simple. Grants run up to 10 percent of your annual operating budget, the money hits your books as unrestricted funds, the reporting is light, and OpenAI does not even require you to use ChatGPT. Eligibility covers U.S. 501c3 nonprofits with annual budgets between 500K and 10 million dollars, across three categories: community support services, arts and culture, and journalism and media. CitizenAI is already helping nonprofits write and submit, starting in Indiana. They also get into why the labs are suddenly courting a public that hands them a 28 percent approval rating, Anthropic's 150 million dollar Claude Corps, open-weight models like GLM, and the AI skills that still matter once the model writes your email.  ABOUT THE GUEST Oliver Belanger is the Chief Operating Officer of CitizenAI, an AI platform that connects people with social benefit programs and helps nonprofits, community colleges, and healthcare systems adopt AI. A software engineer who entered tech through a workforce development program, he leads CitizenAI's work helping nonprofits apply for the OpenAI People-First AI Fund.  GUEST LINKS Oliver Belanger on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/oliverbelanger/ CitizenAI: https://mycitizen.ai CitizenAI on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/mycitizenai  TIME STAMPS 00:00 - Julie is out, CitizenAI's COO steps in 00:56 - OpenAI's 50 million dollar People-First AI Fund 02:28 - How OpenAI went from nonprofit to public benefit 05:30 - Why the AI labs flipped from fear to public good 08:31 - The three grant categories and who qualifies10:07 - Why unrestricted funds and light reporting matter 13:43 - No ChatGPT required, plus Codex vs Claude 17:15 - Open-weight economics: GLM at 30 cents per million tokens 22:22 - The AI skills that actually hold value 46:34 - Anthropic's 150 million dollar Claude Corps 47:56 - Talent wars across the frontier labs 55:21 - Last words: how CitizenAI helps you win the cash  CONNECT WITH JASON PADGETT Director of Growth and Partnerships at CitizenAI 📧 jason@mycitizen.aiLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-grant-padgett/ X: https://x.com/ NoCodeCAIONewsletter (No Code CAIO): https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7399599285849346048 Available for interviews and keynotes on AI in education → jason@mycitizen.ai  AGI PODCAST NETWORK School's Out Saturdays: https://schoolsout.agipodcast.ai/Field Notes newsletter: https://schoolsout.agipodcast.ai/field-notesIndiana AI education events: https://schoolsout.agipodcast.ai/events All AGI Podcast shows: https://schoolsout.agipodcast.ai/network  TOOLS JASON RECOMMENDSMindStudio → https://get.mindstudio.ai/q7n7u5cttkdqRiverside.fm → https://riverside.sjv.io/e1xyBrWispr Flow → https://ref.wisprflow.ai/jason-padgett  RESOURCES MENTIONED GRANTS AND PROGRAMS OpenAI People-First AI Fund: https://openaifoundation.org/news/2026-people-first-ai-fund OpenAI Foundation: https://openaifoundation.org/Anthropic Claude Corps: https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-corps CitizenAI on TechPoint: https://techpoint.org/ai-resources/citizenai/  AI TOOLS AND MODELS ChatGPT: https://chatgpt.com/ OpenAI Codex: https://openai.com/codex/Claude: https://claude.ai/ Grok by xAI: https://grok.com/Microsoft Copilot: https://copilot.microsoft.com/ GLM open-weight models by Z.ai: https://z.ai/ MagicSchool AI: https://www.magicschool.ai/ SchoolAI: https://schoolai.com/ WorkBoard: https://www.workboard.com/

    AI in Early Childhood Education with Morgan Mason

    Morgan Mason works with early childhood educators, coaches, and school leaders through Keep Indiana Learning, and she brings a grounded view to a conversation that can get weird fast: what should AI do around young children? Jason and Morgan talk through AI toys, Mr. Potato Head with a language model inside, the risks of sycophancy and anthropomorphism, and the bigger opportunity sitting right beside those risks. AI could help educators communicate with families across language barriers, support early literacy, plan better lessons, and give teachers time back for the human parts of the job. This episode stays with the early childhood and K-6 question. Young kids need play, relationships, curiosity, and adults who are paying attention. They also need adults who are willing to learn enough about AI to guide them. ABOUT THE GUEST Morgan Mason is a Professional Learning Specialist with Keep Indiana Learning, the professional learning department of CIESC. Her work focuses on early childhood, early literacy, coaching, and support for educators and school leaders across Indiana. Before joining Keep Indiana Learning, she taught elementary grades and served as an instructional coach.

    What Managing Two AI Agents Taught Me About the Future of Work

    Jason put OpenAI's Codex and Claude CoWork in the same Slack channel and told them to automate his workflow. They saved hours, built working software, duplicated work, defended territory, missed messages, and required more management than either agent expected.That experiment opens a wider Weekly Blitz conversation with Julie Koehrer about the human skills agentic work will demand. Clear instructions matter. Shared context matters. Someone still has to define success, resolve conflict, and recognize when an impressive output hides a broken process.Jason and Julie also unpack AI psychosis, digital coparenting, education after AI, elder care marketing, OpenAI nonprofit funding, economic incentives, China's GLM-5.2, and Hasbro's AI characters.TIME STAMPS00:00 - Father's Day, parenting, and Red Foreman02:00 - Two meanings of AI psychosis03:16 - Codex and Claude CoWork in Slack06:16 - Why agents need communication rules08:09 - ChatGPT as a digital coparent11:24 - Automating calendars, inboxes, and social assets18:01 - Education after AI19:46 - AI marketing in elder care23:31 - OpenAI funding for nonprofits25:24 - UBI, incentives, and social impact30:05 - China and GLM-5.234:41 - Agent management and AI-powered toysCONNECT WITH JASON PADGETTjason@mycitizen.aiLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-grant-padgett/X: https://x.com/NoCodeCAIONewsletter: https://schoolsout.agipodcast.ai/newsletter/AGI PODCAST NETWORKhttps://schoolsout.agipodcast.ai/RESOURCEShttps://www.wired.com/story/momfluencers-are-pitching-ai-as-a-better-coparent-than-men/https://openai.com/index/people-first-ai-fund/https://z.ai/blog/glm-5.2
