Why your AI strategy shouldn’t start with AI: Steve King, Dragonfly AI Co-Founder and CEO

Is Dragonfly, is it your sixth startup or scale-up that you've done? Is there something, is it possibly passion, but is there something that does keep drawing you back to building things from scratch? Is it that drive, that motivation to get things going? Is that a big thing for you or is it just part of the kind of Steve King story?

Steve KingGUEST
I always feel like, you know, when we have time to sit down and we talk about the future, like we always, a lot of us, we're so busy that we'd like, you know, do the list, do the list.

Steve KingGUEST
And I think like every so often you get to sit down and go like, what if, like, what if we were, you know, wouldn't it be great if, and like how we've noticed that, you know, and there's kind of like, you have those moments in life sometimes where you just have a beautiful moment, like, you know, one of our proudest moments was having Black Swan acquired by Mintel and like what you guys are doing with it.

Steve KingGUEST
That came from a moment with Hugo, my co-founder, in a pub in Canada after we'd had a day.

I mean, how did you first encounter that type of work? And what did you see in it that others perhaps had not seen in it? What was that moment for you?

Is he the one that gets you WWF bookings? And then, like, how does that happen?

Steve KingGUEST
Well, at first, what happened was, Killer Kowalski's shows were obviously Saturdays and Sundays.

Steve KingGUEST
And a lot of the guys from the, uh, WWF office, like Pat Patterson, René Goulet, and, um, Tony Garea, they had weekends off, because they weren't doing, whatever house shows they had, the house shows were assigned to different, uh, agents.

Steve KingGUEST
So Patterson and René, uh, Goulet, and Tony Garea would all get in Pat's Porsche and drive to Killer Kowalski's school, and they'd, he'd, they'd hang out and watch us work out on the weekends, or they'd come to a show if we had a show.

Steve KingGUEST
But at the governor's level, the last one, and maybe the last one in modern times, the only one perhaps in modern times, was when...

Steve KingGUEST
And if you remember, Bob Vander Plaats, who played a positive role in this primary, by the way, he was in a primary against Terry Branstad for governor, lost the primary, he took 41% of that vote.

Steve KingGUEST
My belief is that he went upstairs and suffocated his daughter, put them both in the van and went to Ametek Dixon and put both of them in their trash receptacle there.
Susan SpencerHOST
Using global positioning technology and landfill logs, they set up a grid system, much like an archeological site, zeroing in on quadrants where they believed they'd find trash from Blagg's company, trash dumped the previous November.

Steve KingGUEST
There are people that I know that were out there when it was 104 degrees, when every bag it seemed like you were opening up was a dead deer or elk carcass.

Steve KingGUEST
And that sight, that smell would cause you to retch and just wanna drop you to your knees.
