Assistive technology is a lot like jenga, an instructor's perspective on teaching

Talking on the phone just became way more cooler in 2026, Wizzenatr brings the knowledge

Mitchell Wooters spent overthirty years in construction -- as a general contractor, an OSHA trainer, a guywho built things with his hands and ran crews for a living. He is not who youwould expect to be building an AI company.   And yet here we are.   Mitch is the co-founder ofUpdaytr LLC and the driving force behind Wizzenatr, a voice-driven AI platformbuilt on a radical idea: instead of treating AI as a snapshot tool thatcaptures a moment and forgets you, what if it was an ongoing conversation? Whatif technology actually remembered you?   This episode digs into theorigin story -- a brother's love for his mom, a construction worker's instinctfor what's missing in the field, and a product that has implications far beyondjob sites. We talk about accessibility, about building for people who don'thave time to type, about the blue-collar roots of a blue-sky idea, and aboutwhat it looks like to build something with family.   If you've ever felt like techwasn't built for you -- this episode is for you.

The Blind Kind go back in time, Kevin Reeves and Christina Campbell bring Sonic Synergy

What happens when you throw a blind podcaster, a musician with a new lease on life, and a crew that thrives on beautiful chaos into the same room? You get this episode. Christina Campbell and Kevin Reeves from the incredible radio show Sonic Synergy join the studio, and we go everywhere. Kevin opens up about his shift in perspective — playing music for venues, raising money for nonprofits, and finding purpose in the work that feeds the soul instead of just the ego. We get raw about mental health, and I mean raw. I take it back to when I was a drunken idiot making choices I'm not proud of, and Kevin shares his experience with gnarly vertigo that knocked him on his ass and rewired the way he sees the world. Those moments broke us down, but they also built something real. We talk about the growth since 2018, how Covid stripped away the noise and forced us to confront what actually matters — people. Real connection. Showing up for each other when it's hard. And then we get into something that doesn't get talked about enough — discrimination within blind culture. The inner hierarchy, the judgment, the ways we tear each other down when we should be building each other up. We dig into how we can do better, be better, and actually support one another. This one's got laughs, gut punches, and a whole lot of heart. Don't skip it.
