Breaking into AI Consulting without an AI Background - with Sam Daish of Qrious

Today's guest is Sam Daish, an Emerj Plus member and Head of AI and Data Science at Qrious. Qrious is a sizable tech services company based in New Zealand. Sam talks to us today about how we went from being trained as a teacher of the classics to someone who worked in big industry and startups, and now to someone who works in AI services and has learned all the skills required for AI services. Skills such as selling, setting expectations, finding AI opportunities, and more. His journey is motivating because he is head of AI in a firm with hundreds of employees, who essentially got there purely by enthusiasm and by his self-starter attitude and willingness to learn.
