This was my big takeaway as I listened to supermodel, talk show host, producer, writer, actress, and entrepreneur Tyra Banks share her life story at CCW (Contact Center Week), the industry’s largest conference and trade show of its kind.

I was just at an industry conference focusing on AI (Artificial Intelligence). Someone commented, “AI is going to make us stupid.” Elaborating on that statement, the commenter’s reasoning was that it takes thinking and problem-solving out of the process.

I met Rodney at a conference where I was speaking about customer service. When I work with companies, I urge them to find what makes them unique and use it as a competitive advantage. It’s always a treat when I meet people who not only agree with my philosophies but take them a step further. That’s where Rodney Gaddis comes in.
