AI Portfolio Podcast
The AI Portfolio Podcast showcases Experts, Companies, and Communities that can accelerate your journey of taking machine learning products to market.
If you are a practitioner, investor, or data leader, you will get something from the show by becoming exposed to great companies to invest in or join and learn how experts navigate their careers.
My goal is to open doors and increase your sense of the possibility of what can be done with machine learning. Connect with me, share the show, and let me know how I can add value.
