Before Dr. Adams built sensors, he built mics for musicians. Then someone asked him to build one that could listen to the human body, and that sent him from music tech into medical tech. Now he runs Uncommon Sense Labs at Georgia Tech. uncommonsenselabs.com

We're going to see an explosion of in-person events in the next year. As our feeds and inboxes get sloppified by AI, we'll lose our ability to discern what's real and credible. Which means more people will turn to the only real thing left: in-person. I'm seeing it already. For many of my partners, dinners are their MOST effective sales channel. Because, frankly, everyone is sick of automated AI outbound agents hitting you up on DMs, phone, email, etc. If you know how to put a room together, you won't just be a great community person. You'll be a great salesperson too.
