In November, my mentee, Aditi, invited me to a Rutgers FutureBusiness Leaders of America dinner at the Student Center. A few minutes later,there was Cayden. Explorative classic chat. Cayden is a brand intern for theRutgers Men’s Basketball team. I’ve been sitting in the gym for nearly threedecades. Purist synchronicity. Before several basketball games, we chatted nextto the Pep Band. Enough energy was transmitted in this hearing-challengedenvironment for Cayden and me to set up this interview. A hugely fascinatingpersonality. Disarming. Cayden is delightful, passionate, grounded, anddedicated, and his persona often made me think I was really talking to aforty-something guy. Not nineteen. He stressed several times that he was a‘teen’. And this interview was not only about basketball, sports broadcasting,skills acquired, NIL (changing the face of college sports), but what youngeraudiences look for, what AI means for the future (this is evolution, to hearwhat a teenager views AI), and where he sees himself in five years and beyond.A real looking glass interview. Cayden did some restorative work on my views ofa college student’s thinking. What great fun.” Calvinhttps://www.youtube.com/c/ConversationswithCalvinWetheSpecIEs698 Interviews/Videos  9200 SUBSCRIBERSGLOBAL Reach. Earth Life.
