Celebrating Milestones: 75th Episode and 1st Anniversary of Elevate Your AIQ!

75 podcast episodes! Celebrating this milestone and the first year of this learning and content creation adventure with gratitude, and some offers (and asks)

Wow! It's been an amazing year, and I must say it has been an incredible journey. So many amazing, insightful conversations with people driving innovation, ensuring fairness in decision-making, and promoting responsibility in how we design and use emerging technology.

Thank you for listening

Whether you tuned in on day one or discovered the show last week, you’ve shaped Elevate Your AIQ more than you know. Here’s to the next 12 months of elevating our individual and collective AIQs!

Thank you for joining me in the studio

Special thanks to all my guests! Your passions, insights, and advocacy for trustworthy, human-centric solutions have been inspiring. I truly appreciate each of you and greatly respect the work you're doing. Thank you for joining me for these crucial conversations that are helping to drive us towards a future of work we want, we need, and we KNOW we can create.

Thank you for supporting me

Without a great team, none of this would be possible. Thank you to Ryan Kielma for being an amazing editor and sounding board as I embrace being a content creator. Thank you to William Tincup and Ryan Leary at WRKdefined for building an amazing podcast network, and providing your expertise along the way. And thank you to Jeffrey Pole and Warden AI for your sponsorship and support for year one of this 'human-centric AI readiness' journey we have undertaken.

What's Next?

Some things to look forward to:

• Video! Not just occasional clips over on LinkedIn, of course, but several insightful clips from each episode here on Substack as well as the Elevate Your AIQ Youtube channel. But, here is where you’ll find my commentary (and perhaps some outtakes)

• Live conversations! I'll be getting out of the virtual studio to do live sessions here on Substack and/or from my Riverside Studio (likely restreamed to LinkedIn Live), with recordings available on these platforms and Youtube

• Written content! Substack will expand with takeaways from podcast conversations (whether I'm the host or the guest) and perspectives on newsworthy topics across Responsible AI, human-centricity, talent transformation, innovation, and the future of work and education (I think 'Pulver Eyes' has a nice ring to it)

• Swag! With the support of new sponsors (hint hint), I'll be giving away Elevate Your AIQ promotional items; ones that you'll proudly wear or use (I'm very particular about my swag, not to mention having a spouse in the industry, so you'll have to trust me!)

• AIQ Assessments! What's your AIQ? Do you know where you stand on your own skills, knowledge, and mindset? How are you gauging literacy, readiness, and maturity? I have a research-backed assessment that can help you and your team assess, benchmark, and guide your path forward.

My ask(s) of my network

Subscribe to Elevate Your AIQ here on Substack: I'll be posting much more content here, and occasionally cross-posting to LinkedIn (under either my personal account or the Elevate Your AIQ account (which you should also follow!).

Incentive for paid subscribers: includes a 'What's Your AIQ?' assessment, and a 45-min 1:1 advisory call with me (to review your results or whatever is top of mind)

Assess your own AIQ: It's really difficult for most people to know if they're learning the right skills and tools, and using them appropriately, so that they can keep up without feeling overloaded. Request the 'What's Your AIQ?' assessment to gauge for yourself.

Support the show and related content: Sponsorship opportunities are available for the audio podcast (available on all major platforms) as well as audio, video, and written content on Substack and Youtube. Tiered sponsorships are available to fit your budget and marketing goals.

I am also available to support your event as a podcaster, webinar host, panel facilitator, guest speaker, or Responsible AI advisor. (Strategic planning is around the corner!)

If you believe in staying human-centric, making fair decisions, and innovating responsibly, let's talk about how we can partner and grow together!

Thank you so much for being a part of my own human-centric AI readiness journey.
