[00:00:10] Speaker B: Welcome to this week’s coffee with Digital Trailblazers. Our 139th episode. We’re almost eight months into this new format being on LinkedIn Live, and every week there’s always something that trips us up. This one was a minor one. So just giving a few minutes for everybody to join. And thank you for joining us in this August session in this week of some of us working through hurricanes drop offs at college, which is what I was focused on the last two weeks.
I was in Tucson a week and a half ago with my son. I was in Albany this week with my daughter.
Wow. East Lyme, Connecticut.
[00:00:59] Speaker A: Derek.
[00:00:59] Speaker B: We could have met up. I drove right through there yesterday.
Oh my gosh. That’s just too funny.
And I’m totally excited. You know, we’re always interested in exploring new topics around AI here at the coffee hour and this week we’re talking about AI as a teammate.
I have Stephanie Sylvester.
Did I pronounce that right?
[00:01:24] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:01:26] Speaker B: Stephanie is here as a special guest.
She’s the founder of Avatar Buddy. We’ll hear more about Avatar Buddy midway into the session. Just giving us just a few more minutes for everybody to join in. Thank you for introducing yourself on the Common Stream. Hello, Steve, thank you for joining. Thank you for the comment last week that made it into our whiteboard.
