The Public Access Podcast 643 - The AI That Thinks With You Not For You with Derek Crager

Episode 643 of The Public Access Podcast features Derek Crager, founder and CEO of Practical AI and the mind behind Pocket Mentor and the Human First AI movement. This conversation digs into what happens when technology actually works with humans instead of replacing them. Derek breaks down how real mentorship works, why most training systems fail, and how voice based AI can close knowledge gaps in the moment that matters. We talk neurodivergence, late diagnosis, building Amazon’s highest rated training program, and why empathy and simplicity are the future of work. This episode is thoughtful, practical, and quietly mind blowing.
