Oli Siska didn’t leave mission work when she left nonprofits. She moved it into VR. Caregiver training went from one trainer driving site-to-site to shared sessions across locations in headsets. #TheTechGlowUp #VRForGood #HealthTech

Early Detection Matters. Cervical cancer went from deadly to 99% survivable because pap smears became normal preventative care. Same approach could work for other diseases caught early. This fight is personal. Holly was diagnosed with stage three ovarian cancer. https://youtu.be/xkHrjk3PGxI

At 94, Actor William Shatner didn’t want to fly to Sydney for a talk. @Protohologram beamed him there. ✨ He gave his keynote, talked with the audience, then had breakfast at home in LA the same morning. ☕ “Stop calling yourself a hologram. Call yourself a time machine.”

William Shatner keynoted in Sydney and had breakfast in LA that same morning. David Nussbaum built Proto Hologram so people can beam everywhere without getting on a plane. Listen to the full story where you get podcasts or watch the conversation on YouTube. https://youtu.be/F6UvZ71mUys

Think about how many chances your team gets to feel like they won something. Quarterly = 4 wins/year Monthly = 12 wins/year That gap is clarity. Focus. Alignment. Customer responsiveness. Big companies are winning by working like startups. #GoToMarket #Leadership #Innovation

VR is the ultimate medium. Paul Raphael's insight: give audiences agency to explore. Spectator becomes collaborator. That's the difference. #VR #Innovation #Storytelling

Amy Hedrick: plan your path, but stay flexible. Opportunities appear sideways. Founders who see them and follow them win. @CleanboxTech exists because she was willing to take risks. #Entrepreneurship #FounderJourney #Leadership #CleanboxTechnology

CEO's outsource yourself to be more available to the big issues Tech changes, use it to your advantage. Amy Hedrick made a @CleanboxTech AI chatbot with her wisdom to be always on. Leaders who adapt strategically win. #AI #Leadership #Innovation #CleanboxTechnology

Founders rarely admit how hard it is. Amy Hedrick hit a wall building Cleanbox . A mentor reminded her: "Do you realize how much you've changed the industry?" That reflection refocused everything. External perspective saves founders. #Entrepreneurship #Mentorship

Coming soon. The Spatial Creator Spotlight - Interviews with the 3D artists, designers, and creators that are defining the possibilities of XR art and communication. Video made with Gemini tools - Nano Banana source image animated with Veo

Nothing sells itself. Amy Hedrick: messaging matters. You're not selling hardware—you're solving the adoption barrier for VR at scale. @Cleanboxtech enables immersive experiences in venues, schools, hospitals. Story beats specs. #CleanboxTechnology #Messaging #SpatialComputing

Can solving the "ick" factor in VR uplift the whole spatial computing industry? New on The Tech Glow Up, Amy Hedrick, CEO of Cleanbox Technology shares she isn't selling a cleaning box. She is solving the hygiene problem that unlocks VR at scale. Listen where you get podcasts.

"Hat rack" might sound odd, but it's a great compliment if you think about it.It means someone trusts you with real problems and makes their life easier. A GTM leader said it after we helped his team move like a startup—fast, testing, learning, scaling.

Rather than deploying generic large language models, emtelligent developed proprietary models optimized for clinical data extraction. This differentiation addresses scaling, cost, and accuracy challenges that LLM-based approaches struggle with when processing billions of clinical documents.

Most healthcare AI companies grabbed the LLM toolkit. Tim O'Connell at emtelligent built something different. They created custom language models specifically for clinical data extraction from billions of documents. Why? LLMs have cost, scaling, and accuracy problems with massive datasets.

95% of families with a child in cancer treatment report severe financial impact and up to 15% fall into poverty. First Ascent Biomedical’s functional precision medicine makes cancer testing a mail-in task relieving travel and financial toxicity.

Hot Take from #hlth2025: Healthcare Standing 'At the Chasm of Change' Driven By AI? 🏥⚡ AI's the easiest lever, but real issue? Business models that lack transparency + prioritize rebates over patients. Stop steering, start opening for choice. Paradigm shift incoming! #ParadigmShift #AI

Relying on stress hormones like cortisol might seem effective for productivity, but it actually stifles creativity and potential. Your brain can't think strategically or creatively when you're in fight or flight mode. That's why I encourage teams to focus on doing less to scale faster.

If you think telecom is just cables, think again. Infrastructure could be a really sexy business. If you know how to frame the story. And that means Nokia is betting on XR, robots & AI! Leslie Shannon reveals Nokia’s bold play to keep infrastructure agile for new industries.

Teams that launch more, learn and grow faster. The one metric I need to learn everything there is about the health of your GTM org? It’s launch velocity—how often you actually launch bold new campaigns. More launches means more shots on goal, faster learning, and faster wins
