As a single dad raising two children while building five companies, he shares the heartbreaking and honest story of the moments he missed. In this wide-ranging interview, Keith also discusses his current venture building AI "clones" of celebrities that can "defy the laws of time and space" and the addictive AI-driven feedback loop that he calls "entrepreneurial crack".
