Devo Harris, a Grammy award-winning producer and founder of Adventr, shares his journey from the world of music to the fast paced tech industry. As a Army brat, he grew up moving around a lot, which has influenced his work style and approach team building. Devo co-founded G.O.O.D. Music with his cousin, Kanye West, and was responsible for bringing John Legend onto the label. However, he realized he wanted to have a broader impact and didn't want to be the old guy playing beats for 18 yr old rappers so he transitioned into the tech industry. Devo started Adventr as a solution to building personalized, intelligent, and dynamic media experiences. In the conversation, Devo shares his perspective on the future of connected media and the challenges faced by underrepresented founders in the technology industry. The discussion touches on the importance of storytelling and the impact it has on empathy and understanding.

You will learn:

• Not to assume an opportunity or resource is for someone else. Take your chance.
• To see your job as more than the role you currently do and instead finding new ways to add value.
• That no matter how good it may seem someone else has it, they are likely still facing challenges you can't see.
