2025 - Michael "Zippidy" Duda – “In 1992, I was working at GE Medical, exploring Mosaic and Netscape browsers while experimenting with Apache web servers on UNIX systems. At that time, Google didn’t exist, and most businesses had no understanding of the internet; they thought I was crazy for suggesting they take their operations online. In 1994, Amazon was founded which was intially focused solely on selling books, the same year I launched Interactive Data (www.idata.com) which is the E-Commerce company I would run for 15 years."
"The artificial intelligence we see today is reminiscent of the early internet era I experienced firsthand. Imagine running a car dealership today without leveraging the internet—it would be unthinkable. My message to dealership owners, general managers, sales managers, and sales teams is this: Embrace AI in every aspect of your business. Be progressive. Innovate. Those who fail to adopt these technologies risk being left behind.”
