About Us

GTM AI efficiencies + BETTER HUMAN BEING 
Through Emerging Technologies 
The Origin Story:
 
Kansas boy swaps the Land of Oz for Wrigley and starts his career in the Windy City where he quickly landed a spot on Verizon’s (MCI at the time) first ever Emerging Technologies Sales Team ~ about the time that “The Internet” became a thing.
 
From day one, did not buy into to the idea that technology (including AI eventually) is here to replace us …or to make us big blobs of meat on the jolly ship Wall-E.
 
Rather, technology well-used can remove #administrivia, freeing us to fully lean into our unique contributions as HumanBEings.
Yeah. You know. Administrivia. 
(Yes, it’s Erichspeak.)
 
Roughly: repetitive, energy-sucking, remedial tasks in our personal and professional lives that drain potential and cause occasional cursing.
 
Barriers to fully discovering and leaning into our #GivenGifting — those unique skills, attributes, and qualities we’ve been blessed with to serve our families, employers, and communities.
Thanks to his friend and mentor Coach K

…Erich hopped on the AI bus early as one of three global Ambassadors and sparked a vision in the the journey:

What if there was an identity for people who shared this curiosity and optimism about AI, and we could collectively bring about positive change in community? AICHE!
