Listen " AI, Cyber Security, Building Culture and Entrepreneurism - Tom Douglas, JMark"
Episode Synopsis
Hold on to your hats because Tom Douglas wears a lot of them and we’re covering it all. We first ran into Tom at the Biz 417 Think Summit in March. We already knew that he was the CEO of JMARK but at that event he did a Ted Talk on AI. He gave us some scary scenarios, such as having AI imitate 417 Publisher Logan Aguierre to the point it was hard to tell reality from fiction. In addition to showing us the scary stuff he also showed us ways we could use it to make our lives more efficient and effective. Whether we like it or not AI is the future and we need to learn to embrace it or we will be left behind. Beyond his role as CEO, we learned so much more about Tom in this conversation. He is a keynote speaker, business coach and best selling author. In his book, Adapt or Die, he uses the principles he has learned over his career to make the major point that it boils down to people. Take care of your people and they will take care of you. How do you build a culture that ensures your future? Hire the right people, make sure they have ample training and reward them for a job well done. Make sure everyone feels valued and supported. As he discusses leadership it is clear that this is someone who has grown into a thoughtful leader. Starting on the bottom rung of the company, he worked his way up to his current role and learned valuable leadership lessons along the way. We also cover the topics of cyber security, recent issues with online security and ways to protect yourself. This is an enlightening conversation with one of Springfield’s foremost thought leaders.
