Nicole Blessing & Fred Nelson (comedians, actors, tech minds)

Nicole  Blessing is a Los Angeles–based, SAG‑AFTRA‑affiliated actress, model, voice‑over artist, comedian, and audiobook narrator. She's featured in regional and national commercials and industrials, and performs stand‑up comedy, including her Los Uff Das Comedy Show. Represented by BritMo Agency, her skill set spans improv, jazz/tap/swing dancing, singing (mezzo‑soprano), and various dialects. She's also active on social media and professional platforms showcasing her broad creative talents. Fred Nelson is her supportive partner who's also a veteran engineer in the technology space. They met while acting in stage plays in Minnesota and both are former actors. They both have interesting lineages lol. Fred might be related to Victoria Beckham. Nicole might be related to Davey Croquette.We know each other through Dat Phan and friends open mics. Nicole is a talented standup and I've always watching her perform at places like Fourth Wall Cafe and Flappers. She is one of the first people I ever met here in LA while visiting the Flappers open mics. Nicole and Fred are very similar to me and unique because we all accidentally fell into tech industry while we originally wanted to pursue the arts like comedy or acting. They both work in tech industry now which is great because it's not always common to see people juggling a successful creative career and a demanding tech career at the same time. We talked a lot about AI in this episode. Thank you so much, Nicole and Fred! I'm glad they liked the Korean barley iced tea I made. Terry
