The Human Pro

Welcome to the very first episode of The Human Pro! Host Nolan Brown is joined by his wife Amanda Brown and special guest Ben Eberle, a software engineer and data scientist, to dive into one of the most transformative topics of our time: Artificial Intelligence. Is AI just a magic trick, or will it fundamentally change every career? In this episode, Ben shares his unconventional journey from community college to becoming a data expert and breaks down complex topics in a way everyone can understand. In this episode, we discuss:Ben's journey from a business major at CSU to a career in computer science and data.A simple explanation of what a data scientist actually does and how they "wrangle" data.The evolution from expensive on-premise servers to the cloud and how companies like AWS transformed the industry.The risk of the "knowledge gap": Can you truly innovate with AI if you don't understand the fundamentals?Why AI isn't really "intelligent" but more of an illusion, and why that distinction matters.How AI is changing jobs, not replacing them, and why engineers must now focus more on business value.How anyone, including a 10-year-old, can start learning to code and build projects using AI as a guide.A special thank you to our sponsor, Desk Chair in Loveland, Colorado, for making this episode possible!
