Chapters

If you know me and you've been around for a while, you know that I like to open up with stories and real life stories. So this particular one is how AI helped me get a speaking gig at the United Nations. And there's proof down there in the bottom left is a picture of my wife and I in the bottom right. We were in the one of the big rooms at the United Nations. But the way this story begins is I got a call from a good friend of mine. That's Dr. Denise and Barry Goldstein, really good friends. Dr. Denise called me up and said, hey, I have a really cool gig. How would you like to speak at the United Nations? And I'm like, hell yeah, that sounds great. And she says, there's a catch. Number one, this is like Wednesday afternoon, you have to be there Friday est in New York City in Manhattan at the United nations building in less than two days.
