Check out the most forehead heavy podcast you're gonna see all week. Full episode link in the comments. I got to catch up with Cameron Etezadi recently to talk about how all jobs are over and AI is going to rule the world. JK, but seriously, it's pretty nuts. Some amazing insights from Cam on the future of engineering and how software is going to built in the next few years from a guy who's been through the ringer. #engineering #podcast #b2btech

I had the privilege of attending the US Conference of Mayors in Kansas City last weekend, where over 200 mayors gathered to discuss high-impact innovations and key issues facing our cities. On Saturday, I spoke onstage about MD Ally and our collaborative Public Safety & Payor partners. It was an honor to share our vision and progress. Thank you again to United States Conference of Mayors for awarding MD Ally | 911 Network Navigation the 2024 Civic IO Innovation Award and for your continued dedication to advancing technology within our communities. We are excited to continue expanding access to convenient care across the US. #USCM2024 #Telehealth #911Services #Partnerships #mdally
