    Ex-Amazon Exec Diagnosed Autistic at 40 — Then Built AI With Just a Phone Call

    He was a Fortune 500 executive at Amazon, Ford, Subaru, and Chrysler — then a late diagnosis of autism and ADHD changed how he saw his entire career: "I kept seeing the right answer, but my language didn't translate to theirs." Derek Crager is the founder of Practical AI and creator of Pocket Mentor — the first voice-based AI mentor built for factory floors. No app. No screen. No Wi-Fi. Just a phone call that captures 30 years of expert knowledge before it retires and disappears forever. In this episode: the real cost of tribal knowledge walking out the door (one company spent $69M and 5 years relearning what a handful of retired engineers once knew), why documentation has failed as the answer for 40 years, and what neurodivergent thinking gives founders that neurotypical thinking often misses. Then Damian IA steps in with the question nobody in the AI industry wants to answer: is this solving a technology problem — or a management failure companies are more comfortable calling an "AI opportunity"? 🎧 Subscribe to AI to the Sky for real conversations at the intersection of AI, business, and what it means to be human while building the future. 00:00 Icebreaker — the moment nobody listened02:30 The knowledge crisis09:00 Why voice, why a phone call16:00 Damian IA challenges Derek20:00 Neurodiversity as an edge25:00 Built for the person no one mentored #AItotheSky, #PracticalAI, #ArtificialIntelligence, #Neurodiversity, #ManufacturingAI

    AI Killed Your Brand Voice — And You Didn't Notice | Alexandra Goss

    AI didn't just automate your content — it quietly erased what made your brand sound like you. Alexandra Goss has spent 12+ years building brand voice and communications systems for adidas, PayPal, Sephora, Zendesk, YouTube, and Farfetch. She's worked with AI startups, wellness brands, SaaS companies, and early-stage founders — and she says the same thing breaks every single time: nobody can answer one critical question before they touch a single tool or platform. In this episode we get into what that question is, why AI-generated content destroys brand voice without anyone noticing, and what a real communications ecosystem looks like when it's built to scale — without a big team or budget. We also talk about public speaking: why the fear of getting on stage is almost never really about language, and what Alexandra does in the first session with founders who'd rather miss opportunities than show up on camera. And Damian IA — our AI co-host — asks her something that stopped the conversation cold: is the threat to brand voice from AI actually real, or is that just the industry protecting its own turf? Her answer will make you rethink your content strategy. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ GUEST Alexandra Goss — Senior Strategic Content & Communications Generalist LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandragoss Website: https://gossalexandra.com ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 — If your career were a meme, which one? 02:30 — From journalist to brand architect: what that path gives you 07:00 — What a communications ecosystem actually means in practice 12:00 — AI startups and the fundamental mistake they make telling their own story 16:00 — Damian IA: is the threat to brand voice real or industry protection? 20:00 — Public speaking for people who hate it (especially non-native speakers) 25:00 — The food app, personal branding, and building something from scratch 29:00 — Where to find Alexandra and what's next ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ AI TO THE SKY Hosted by Jose Luis Valeriano | JosephvaleAI AI strategy, business adoption, and the human side of technological acceleration.

    Mundial 2026:La IA Que Nadie Ve Está Controlando Todo Dentro del Estadio #ia #Anthropic #Mundial2026

    En menos de dos semanas, Anthropic pasó de cerrar la ronda de financiamiento más grande de la historia de la IA — 65 mil millones de dólares, valuación de 965 mil millones — a que su propio gobierno le apagara su modelo más avanzado en menos de 90 minutos. No es ficción. Pasó el 12 de junio de 2026. Y mientras eso ocurría, el Mundial 2026 — el más grande de la historia, con 48 selecciones en México, Estados Unidos y Canadá — estaba usando inteligencia artificial de formas que hace cuatro años no existían. Dos historias. Una misma semana. Una sola pregunta para todo empresario y líder en América Latina: ¿tu estrategia de IA está lista para este nivel de incertidumbre regulatoria?
