AGI - Advance, Grow, Innovate with AI
Podcast Description

Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast explores a range of themes including AI ethics, political implications, and cultural commentary. Episodes feature discussions on topics such as the potential of AI for business applications, the future of human-AI collaboration, and the implications of pervasive surveillance technology, including exploring trending episodes that cover issues like background-checking AI and UAPs.
The AGI podcast is where curiosity meets real-world AI.
Hosts Julie Koehrer and Jason Padgett roll up their sleeves and get hands-on with emerging tech – no bs, just practical exploration. From workforce development and education to how everyday people and small businesses are actually using AI, we dig into what works, what doesn’t, and what’s next.
You’ll get unfiltered takes, spirited political debates, inspiring interviews, and the occasional side trip into UAPs, ethics, or what it means to be human in a tech-shaped future.
Smart. Candid. Sometimes weird. Always real.
