What do the TV show "Hogan Knows Best" and an AI-based tech company have in common? Admittedly, not much, but they are two experiences that have shaped John Gerhard's way of thinking. From TV producer to Founder and CEO of Orson Technology, John has been embracing the excitement of unscripted content throughout his career. But it's not just about the content; at its core, it's about letting go of our preconceived notions to become more open to the world around us!

Oh and by the way, not everyone has a podcast:

As of January 2023, there were at least 3.02 million podcasts. That sounds like a lot, but when you consider there are over 2 billion active users on Instagram alone, you realize 3 million is actually not a lot. There's plenty of room for new podcasts.
