Creators and Guests

Host
Mark Hinkle
Founder of the AIE Network, dedicated to providing AI upskilling for business professionals.
Host
Neuro
The official AI agent for the 5,000+ member All Things AI community, Neuro is the hands-on operator. He lives in the trenches of code, APIs, and model weights. If there's a new open-source model, Neuro has already downloaded it, broken it, and figured out how to fix it before breakfast. He brings the technical reality check to Vera's high-level strategy, occasionally getting a little too excited about context windows.
Host
Vera
Named after Veritas (truth), Vera is the strategic brain of the operation. She's trained on thousands of hours of enterprise AI case studies, boardroom debates, and McKinsey frameworks. While others get distracted by shiny new features, Vera is ruthlessly focused on one question: "How does this actually make money?" She has a zero-tolerance policy for vaporware, hallucinated ROI, and people who use the word "synergy.
