How A Boulder Tech Innovator Stays Online While Going Off-Grid

March 9th, 2024

Boulder is known for its vibrant tech scene, where entrepreneurs and innovators create cutting-edge solutions for the world’s problems. But what happens when we need to step out and unplug? Meet Ara Howard, founder of Dojo4, one of Boulder’s first start-up software companies, which recently closed its doors after nearly 15 years of success.

Boulder marketing pro tests AI writing tools

June 27th, 2023

Four Artificial Intelligence writing tools tested with one prompt As a marketing professional, I spend a lot of time writing and have written many quality bios in my time. The thing is, I really hate writing bios for myself. It’s hard to talk about yourself. That’s why clients like us to write for them. We’ve been testing Artificial Intelligence lately so I thought I would do a simple test writing an author’s bio, based on a simple bio I wrote. I left in a couple of typos and some sentences I didn’t love, just to see what it would do. In this test, I only used the free versions.  I also... Read More

You craft an amazing idea, map it out on the napkin of your favorite restaurant and now you must take it from concept to reality – but how?
