Have you ever wondered how people drive through their mistakes, learning from them, and capitalizing on them? Have you ever wondered how people find a career in tech, or start a company, or become great leaders?

IV: Adapting For Success As AI Reshapes Business, LIVE with Don Shin, Founder & CEO, CrossComm
At the end of July 2025, the Bureau of Economic Analysis revealed a stunning shift in the U.S. economy: spending on artificial intelligence added more to GDP last quarter than consumer spending.
This isn’t just a headline—it’s a turning point. We are officially entering an AI-driven economy.
In this special live podcast recording, RIoT’s Tom Snyder sits down with Don Shin, Founder and CEO of CrossComm, Inc., to explore how AI is reshaping growth, daily life, and work faster than any previous technology shift. Don discusses the skills that matter most in the AI age, what we should teach our children, what organizations must value, and how to build teams empowered by AI rather than disrupted by it.
Takeaway: The future of work and growth depends less on competing with AI and more on building with it.
Connect with Don Shin and check out CrossComm!
