The future of big data and AI boils down to one thing

When I started my first business in the mid-90's I did what most first-time entrepreneurs do -- I ordered business cards. Actually, I first had to get an address and order a phone. Then it was setting up an accounting system, doing the legal paperwork, building a website, and, of course, writing a really long business plan. I did everything except the things I should have been doing: telling my story and selling my solution. But as is so often the case, I got too caught up in the mechanics and lost sight of my purpose.
