Ken Cox is the President of River City Internet Group, an entrepreneur, best-selling author, boxing gym owner, and stand-up comedian. He is the visionary behind InLink.com, a platform for small businesses, and is now spearheading a new data compression innovation called Intelligent Storage Language (ISL).In this episode, Ken shares his diverse journey from data center operator to boxing coach and comedian, finding the common thread in the entrepreneurial spirit of survival and overcoming challenges. He introduces his latest innovation at River City Internet Group, Intelligent Storage Language (ISL), a groundbreaking technology that rethinks data storage by saving instruction sets to recreate files instead of raw data. This approach achieves massive compression (up to 1800x for video), significantly reducing the need for space and power in data centers, a critical issue in the AI era. Ken explains the technical workings of ISL, its potential applications in video surveillance and media, and his vision for a future where more efficient computing reduces environmental impact.Ken also discusses how coaching kids in his boxing gym taught him about neuroplasticity and the importance of self-identity, lessons he applies to coaching others. He shares how stand-up comedy and the experience of "bombing" have built his resilience to failure, making him more willing to take calculated risks in business. Ken addresses the challenge of making complex technology simple for users and predicts that the blending of AI, IoT, and robotics will be the most significant technological trend in the coming years. Finally, he defines innovation as "consistent evolution" rather than a single spark of newness.In this episode, you’ll discover:· Ken's diverse background and the common thread of entrepreneurial resilience.· The problem with current AI growth: sustainable power and space demands.· Intelligent Storage Language (ISL): A new approach to data compression.· How ISL stores instruction sets to recreate files, achieving massive compression.· The technical workings of ISL using AI for encryption and decryption.· Potential applications of ISL in video surveillance and media streaming.· Lessons on self-identity and neuroplasticity from coaching kids in boxing.· How "bombing" at stand-up comedy builds business resilience and risk tolerance.· The challenge of making complex tech simple and the future of human-computer interfaces.· The convergence of AI, IoT, and robotics as the next major tech trend.· Ken's definition of innovation as "consistent evolution."Connect With Ken Cox & River City Internet Group:· Personal Website: https://kencox.com/· LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/kencox/· River City Internet Group: https://rcig.net/· Intelligent Storage Language (ISL) Information: https://islhub.com/· InLink CRM (14-day free trial): https://inlink.com/Chapters:00:00 Welcome Ken Cox: Entrepreneur, Innovator, & Comedian01:05 The Common Thread: Survival and Entrepreneurial Spirit02:19 Rethinking Data Storage: Introducing Intelligent Storage Language (ISL)05:00 How ISL Works: Storing Instructions Instead of Raw Data07:14 The Problem with Current AI Growth: Power and Space Sustainability09:45 The Technical Stack of ISL: AI Encryption and Decryption11:57 Who is ISL For?
