David Homan connects people. His primary skill in life is learning about people, helping them reframe and pitch themselves better, and then creating long-lasting relationships based on the premise that for everyone for whom he connects the dots, they would be described as an action oriented, natural giver with high integrity.

His book, Orchestrating Connection, published in 2025 is a USA Best-Seller, and his community of over 2300 global “superconnectors” represents family offices, venture capitalists, impact investors, entertainers, athletes, CEOs/Founders, community organizers, and a myriad of other incredible “occupations” that do little to describe how amazing each individual in this community of communities is. He launched his tech company, SOAR Connect in July 2024 and will be bringing out of beta to change the way we build relationships at scale with trust.

DriverAI is redefining the future of brick-and-mortar retail through AI-powered in-store behavior analytics.

Founded by Cary Tantlinger, DriverAI helps retailers understand how customers actually shop—from the moment they enter the store to the moment they check out. Using advanced computer vision, machine learning, and sensor intelligence, DriverAI delivers real-time insights on foot traffic, product engagement, dwell time, aisle flow, and shopper decision patterns.

Instead of relying on outdated surveys, limited POS data, or guesswork, DriverAI gives retailers a crystal-clear picture of what’s happening on the floor:

• Which products draw attention—and which go unnoticed

• Where customers hesitate, explore, or abandon

• How store layout affects movement and conversion

• What behaviors drive purchase decisions

• How staff engagement impacts the shopping experience

By translating shopper behavior into actionable data, DriverAI empowers stores to optimize layouts, improve merchandising, reduce friction points, and ultimately boost sales.

In this episode, we sit down with founder Cary Tantlinger to explore:

• Why physical retail is experiencing a data revolution

• The power of computer vision in understanding human behavior

• How to design stores that “think” in real time

• The impact of AI on merchandising, staffing, and customer experience

• The future of hybrid AI-driven shopping environments

DriverAI isn’t just helping retailers see more—it’s helping them understand more, and build shopping experiences that truly work for the modern consumer.
