1024-the-inspiring-tech-startup-story
Formed in 2010, Bleeding Bulb is a strategic digital development shop that fell in love with small businesses. It was a match made in heaven. What caught their eye was the need for growth and services that were, at the time, unaffordable for smaller firms. Everyone likes to root for the underdog, right?
One of the things they found interesting about small businesses is that they are waiting to blossom into their own, like teenagers finding their way. Searching for purpose and identity. Full of potential, but needing a little guidance to find the right path.
They say it takes a village to raise a child. But Bleeding Bulb wants to be a part of your tribe, and they don't care how corny that sounds. Frank Goodman, the founder of Bleeding Bulb, joins me on Tech Talks Daily to share his inspirational startup story.
Frank reveals how Bleeding Bulb is on a mission to make the small business owners more productive while keeping their overall business costs low. Frank also shares why he believes that a company's core values contribute to its success. But it's Frank's personal story that steals the show.
The serial entrepreneur from Washington, D.C. helps small businesses lower overhead, leverage more online visibility and increases sales, dedicated to raising the small business success rate through growth strategies, websites, and apps.
Frank's journey saw him progress from a trouble-making D student to an accomplished Engineer and business owner who was also named on the 2018 Black Enterprise Modern Man 100 list. But after talking with Frank today, I get the impression that he is just getting started,

1079-meet-ada-and-the-automated-customer
It seems that almost every website now has a chatbot. Some are quite good, but many create more frustrations than they solve. Meanwhile it has been reported that we all spend 43 days of our lives waiting on hold.
I wanted to get a company that stands out from the crowd in this area, and it didn't take long for me to find the perfect guest.
Ada, the market leader for Automated Customer Experience (ACX), is disrupting the customer service sector with a fundamentally new approach that brings an automation first strategy to drive cost savings and improved CSAT.
Ada replicates manual behavior with machine learning freeing up expensive agents to pursue more meaningful, urgent tasks on behalf of customers. With Ada's transformative approach to customer service, businesses are evolving their customer service departments from cost centers into profit centers.
Air Asia is an excellent example of the power of Ada's automation first strategy. They fly 100 million passengers per year and used to struggle with customer support wait times of more than one hour. Within 30 days of launching Ada, the wait time for customers is now less than one minute. AirAsia is now generating millions in annual revenues because they've automated meal plan purchases, ticket changes, and more.
In 2019, Ada was also included in Gartner's Competitive Landscape: Virtual Assistant Platforms, Worldwide and recognized as one of the leading vendors leveraging linguistics, machine learning, and knowledge programming to create conversational user experiences.
I invited Ruth Zive, Ada's head of Marketing, on to this daily tech podcast to learn more about how Ada is transforming how people work and how businesses design their customer service organizations.

Our special guests, Lauren Andres, a Designer Advocate, and Jenny Lea, a Software Engineer from Figma, join us to unravel the intricacies of this dynamic through the lens of Figma's groundbreaking innovation, DevMode.
The conversation opens with exploring the traditional challenges that have long defined the designer-developer dynamic. With their rich backgrounds in design and development, Lauren and Jenny shed light on the often fraught nature of this relationship. They emphasize how differing perspectives and languages can lead to misunderstandings and inefficiencies in the collaborative process.
This is where DevMode comes into play. Lauren and Jenny delve into how this new tool from Figma revolutionizes how designers and developers interact and collaborate.

As we explore the human aspect of technology, our guests remind us of the importance of not just relying on tools but also fostering genuine conversations and understanding from the user's perspective. This approach, they argue, is crucial in creating impactful and accessible designs that resonate with users.
As the episode draws close, Lauren and Jenny invite listeners to connect with them and learn more about DevMode and its features, including the much-anticipated Annotations function. They also emphasize the Figma team's commitment to user feedback and the continuous improvement of DevMode.
