Cody draws on a decade in government and global finance tech to explain why real innovation happens outside of endless corporate meetings, and how autistic minds are uniquely positioned to lead the next wave of digital transformation.Discover why authenticity, owning your “weirdness,” and leveraging AI as an accessibility tool dramatically levels the playing field for startups and solopreneurs. Learn Cody’s practical framework for automating the most painful business tasks, choosing (and questioning) the right AI tools, and starting simple with scalable tech—plus, what the U.S. could teach Canada about risk, regulation, and the entrepreneurial spirit.
