In this episode of The Personal Side of Business, I sit down with David to explore his unexpected journey from radio and podcasting to building a holographic communication company. He shares the early rejection, the people who believed in his vision, and why hiring people smarter than himself became essential to growing Proto.
We talk about finding the right business partners, attracting investors, learning to trust your team, and adapting your business without losing sight of your purpose. David also explains how Proto could bring doctors, teachers, and other experts into rooms they can’t physically reach—and where AI fits into that future.
Stay until the end for a studio tour and to see me inside the Proto hologram display!
If you’re building something others don’t yet understand, this conversation offers an honest look at what it takes to keep going.
