Creativity requires inspiration. It can also benefit from physical exercise. SXSW offered both. 5 days, 18 sessions, +61,777 steps later, I’ve left Austin well-conditioned to power through upcoming project kickoffs, brainstorms, and flawless executions. #intouchwith #sxsw2019

Being willing to take risks with design & push brands off the rails does create opportunities that can be brilliant. A$AP Rocky & Gorden Wagener discuss how their unexpected partnership on the Mercedes Benz “Grow Up” campaign made a unique difference. #intouchwith #sxsw2019

No. Machines will not be able to feel just like humans do in the foreseeable future. However, @Przegaa thinks it’s not that simple based on the definition of a feeling; an emotional state or reactive response to something. So, maybe AI can feel a little? #intouchwith #sxsw2019

Design definitely has an urgent place in machine learning. @bigmediumjosh delivered a smart & entertaining argument to avoid self-serving designs in this medium & focus instead on serving real human needs of others with well-thought out product solutions. #intouchwith #sxsw2019

The heartbeat is a universally understood language, it quickly evolved as a widely used metric. Some even think it will soon be the only password you’ll need in everyday life. Will it become the ultimate personalization tool too? @EcoMoliterno thinks so. #intouchwith #sxsw2019
