  • As the vibrant mural walls of Miami's Wynwood district envelop us in their artistic embrace, Tech Hustle's third season launches with an energy that's palpable and a perspective that's transformative. We had the pleasure of inviting Catalina Pena to the mic, whose life story is as colorful and impactful as the setting around us. Revel with us through a journey that traverses childhood upheavals, professional pitfalls, and the tenacity in creating a six million dollar wave of empowerment through career coaching and workshops, especially within the black and brown communities. Catalina's narrative is a testament to the strength found in our roots and the profound support systems that elevate our collective futures.

    The heart of our discussion beats to the rhythm of diversity in tech, a melody that Catalina and I both harmonize with. Reminiscing about our early Twitter days, we recount the vibrant Blackbirds 2018 event, where the seeds of change were sown, fostering growth that we see flourishing within our peers today. Catalina's influence, particularly on individuals from underrepresented backgrounds, Afro Latinos like her, is a beacon for the industry. We share stories that underscore the power of elevating others and celebrate the far-reaching impacts of our collective efforts in amplifying diversity in tech.

    Navigating through the corporate labyrinths, Catalina's wisdom as a career coach shines a spotlight on aligning one's profession with their values and the courage required to pivot towards more fulfilling horizons. We peel back the layers of adversity to uncover pearls of resilience, underscoring the importance of gratitude and the unexpected opportunities that arise from seemingly unrelated job experiences. As we weave these tales, we invite you to reflect on your own journey, embrace the community around you, and recognize the incredible strength that comes from the support and kindness of others. Join us for an episode that's more than just a conversation; it's a celebration of the human spirit in the world of tech.

  • Tech Homecoming: Celebrating Our Journey at Black Men in Tech & AfroTech

    Hey Hustlers! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿพ๐Ÿš€

    We're back, and we're bringing the heat! ๐Ÿ”ฅ Missed us? We sure missed vibing with y'all. It's been a minute, but we're here to reignite that tech sparkโ€”Hashtag TechHustle style! ๐ŸŽ‰

    Yoooo fam! It's BobbyD, and let me tell you, hitting up Black Men in Tech in Fort Lauderdale and AfroTech in Austin was like a family reunionโ€”but with more code, less potato salad. ๐Ÿ˜‚

    From fireside chats to coding bootcamps, every moment was a reminder of how powerful we are together. Standing in rooms filled with Black excellence, I felt that familiar buzzโ€”the pulse of innovation, the shared nods when someone dropped a truth bomb about the tech landscape. ๐Ÿ’ฃ๐Ÿ’ฅ

    I left with my mind expanded and my network doubled. And guess what? Next year, we're rolling deep as a crew. Get ready to join TheTechHustle Tour to these conferencesโ€”details dropping soon! ๐ŸšŒ๐Ÿ’จ

    Ray hereโ€”no RayRay, remember? ๐Ÿ˜ This month, AI was the heartbeat of our conversations at both conferences. It's the brush painting our future with broad, bold strokes. We're talking about AI that not only thinks but also sees, learns, and collaborates with us to solve some of our toughest puzzles. At Black Men in Tech, we delved into the ethics of AI, its implications on equity and job markets. AfroTech wasn't far behind, with panels discussing AI's role in cultural preservation and storytelling. It's a field bustling with potential, and we're just scratching the surface. ๐Ÿค–โœจ

    Hey, it's Dโ€™Hustle here, bringing the latest hot stuff from the tech world! ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ Let's talk about OpenAI Dev Day, where some groundbreaking announcements were made. We've got new tools like the Assistants API, which comes with cool features like Code Interpreter, Retrieval, and Function calling - all designed to make our lives easier and our code smarter. ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ก

    GPT-4 Turbo now brings vision to the table, letting you use images as inputs. Think about the possibilities! And for those who weave words into speech, the new text-to-speech API is here to bring your characters to life. ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ“š

    There's even a program for fine-tuning GPT-4, taking AI customization to the next level. Plus, lower prices across the board mean more innovation for less moolah. That's what we call democratizing technology! ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ”“

    So, if you've got a project that could use a sprinkle of AI magic, or you're looking to partner up with us, reach out! We're here to build the future together, one line of code at a time. ๐Ÿš€
