And after some logistical issues, we got everyone here at the same time.

So you are a former chief product officer at Data.World, and you're working on similar things now at ServiceNow as of almost a year ago, and you're senior director of product at ServiceNow.

And you said something right before the show, which was perfect.

So why don't you say that same thing right now to kick off the conversation?

Yeah.

Well, same problem, but also a lot of new problems from my perspective.

So I imagine that Data.World, you know, in the pre-AI days, before the acquisition and integration into a larger organization, was thinking about unstructured data.

But before 2022, you probably weren't thinking about it quite as much, right? Like some people were already seeing this AI wave coming, but I think most of us just kind of got slapped in the face by it.

Today, I'm with Bryon Jacob, a technology advisor and AI strategist based in Austin, Texas.

He previously co-founded Data.World as its CTO, leading the company through a successful acquisition, and has over two decades of experience in tech, including leadership roles at Amazon and HomeAway, now Vrbo.

Welcome to the show, Brian.

Thanks, Doug.
