In this opening monologue, the speaker recounts the personal journey that led to co‑founding the AI startup True Horizon and establishing the largest school community for AI automation. They describe an entrepreneurial mindset nurtured over time, a traditional academic path with a double major in business analytics and marketing at the University of Iowa (without formal coding training), and a post‑graduation role at Goldman Sachs working in automation. This role cultivated a systems‑thinking approach and a focus on time‑saving processes, yet the speaker notes they had minimal hands‑on experience with AI before launching their venture.

So I thought it would make sense to start off by telling you guys about my story and exactly how I got to the position that I'm in today, running an AI business with my co-founders called True Horizon and also running the largest school community for AI automation. I've always been very entrepreneurial in spirit, but I wasn't some teenage mastermind that built a business overnight that just absolutely exploded. I always knew I wanted to start my own business, but I took a very traditional path. I went to college at the University of Iowa. I got a double major in business analytics and marketing, so no formal coding education. And from there I graduated and was working a full-time job at Goldman Sachs. I was working in automation, So I became very familiar with, you know, thinking in terms of systems and saving time. But up to this point, I had hardly used AI practically.
