Our guest today is Mike Wimmer, an incredible 14 year old kid who is already the CEO of two companies: Next Era Innovation and Reflect Social.

In our conversation, we first talk about Mike’s childhood from starting to code at only 5 years old to his experience at school.

We then discuss his first company, Next Era Innovation, which he founded at 7. Mike shares a few projects that he worked on including an education app connected to a physical robot to help children interactively learn about the US presidents. We also dig into AI, machine learning and deep learning and share our thoughts on how to get started and where the field is heading.

Mike finally talks about the internet of things (IoT) and his second company Reflect Social which develops a software to easily interact with IoT devices.
