I grew up in rural central Virginia my you know dad was a construction worker. My maternal grandfather like ran an appliance repair business and had been a farmer earlier in his life. So the thing the thing that was true for everyone who was in my life is they're just smart entrepreneurial ingenious people using the best tools to go do things that matter to them. I believe that particularly this platform vision of AI where it's sort of getting cheaper and it's getting more accessible all the time.
In this episode, Sarah and Elad speak with Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott about his unlikely journey from rural Virginia to becoming the driving force behind Microsoft's AI strategy.
