The little but feisty firecracker Miss Dominique Pianelli joins us and tells us all about how her interest in technology started. They get into a fun conversation about the days of "My Space". Cruz is a Geek Techie himself and he and Dominique connected over being Nerds and there are some fun moments you don't want to miss. Dominique tells us all about her amazing education path, from loving Pharmacy and going to Arizona State, to transferring school to change her major to an undeclared business major to be more well rounded. Her Dad was super supportive through all her studies and encouraged her to study, science, tech and business, as well as being an entrepreneur. College was fun for Dominique and she is a perfectionist. She was one of 3 women that graduated in her program in a male dominated industry, where they are not used to the beautiful cheerleader type. Right out of college she got hired by Hobby Lobby in Oklahoma City where she worked for 6 years. She was the youngest hire ever and loved working there and still credits them with teaching her very valuable lessons she still uses today. Today she works at Granular Agriculture with Agriculture Technology to help farmers make better margins and to provide farmers to make better decisions financially. She loves what she does. Once she became established she is now very respected in her industry. In todays world there is a big movement around women in tech as well as an all around big diversity in a former all white male industry. Then we learn all about her involvement with the Marc Cuban Bootcamp for high school students. Artificial Intelligence is a huge passion of hers. It started in Dallas but has expanded nationwide. She talks about ethics around Artificial Intelligence and how scary it is. Then she talks about Nano Technology. She says "the more advanced we get the more we are playing God". The computer is already smarter than humans. Dominique talks about the most rewarding and challenging parts of her industry. She has definitely broken the stereotype.
