Welchman Keen Managing Partner Aaron Boyd

On this episode of the CEO Podcast, Clint sits down with Aaron Boyd, a leader in digital transformation and remote work, who shares his journey from Utah to various global destinations, including the Pacific Islands and Latin America. Aaron discusses the importance of creating opportunities for individuals to thrive in their home communities, rather than feeling compelled to relocate to major cities for success. He highlights his work with Welchman Keen, a global consulting firm focused on connecting unconnected communities and fostering innovation, while also addressing the challenges faced by individuals in remote areas, such as accessing essential services and education.
Clint and Aaron explore the impact of AI on job creation, the significance of cultural understanding in developing countries, and the role of benefit corporations in promoting social good. Join us for this insightful conversation about the future of work, the power of technology to empower people, and the universal human experiences that connect us all.
