Known for blending sharp observations with self-deprecating humor, Simmons draws on his unique life experiences to connect with audiences across the country.</p> <p>While developing his craft in New York, Simmons became a regular performer at some of Manhattan\u2019s most respected clubs including Comedy Cellar, NY Comedy Club, and The Stand. Since moving to Austin, he has continued building his audience while performing at venues such as The Comedy Mothership, The Vulcan, and The Sunset Strip. He is also the co-creator and star of ACTING-OFF, Austin\u2019s first improv-based comedy show.</p> <p>Simmons has also gained a strong following online through his viral \u201cNatty or Not\u201d comedy segments that blend stand-up style humor with the fitness world. The series has attracted millions of views and has been featured on Inside Edition while also leading to collaborations with entertainers including Nick Jonas and comedian Matt Rife.</p> <p>Despite his bodybuilder physique, Simmons\u2019 comedy often flips the stereotype of the typical gym personality. His material leans into self-aware storytelling, cultural observations, and personal experiences growing up in the Bronx. The result is a style that resonates with audiences from a wide range of backgrounds.</p> <p>\u201cSan Diego is truly one of my favorite cities to perform in,\u201d said Simmons. \u201cNot only is it paradise with the beach and good food but they have legitimately my favorite comedy crowds in the country.

Known for his strategic expertise and ability to guide organizations through growth and transition, he built a reputation as a results-driven leader long before entering the destination marketing arena.</p> <p>Since joining Visit Boerne, Woods has transformed the organization into a model for small- and mid-sized destination marketing organizations (DMOs). Under his leadership, Boerne surpassed the $1 million mark in annual Hotel Occupancy Tax collections for the first time in its history. Even during the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Visit Boerne remained fully operational, and the city\u2019s hotel sector demonstrated resilience under his steady guidance.</p> <p>Beyond local success, Woods\u2019 influence has extended across the State of Texas. His commitment to excellence and mentorship was formally recognized by Destinations Texas (formerly TACVB) through the prestigious Marion Szurek Leadership Award in 2025, honoring his exceptional leadership, ethical standards, and dedication to advancing the tourism industry statewide. In addition, he was honored in 2021 with the Texas Travel Alliance Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his decades of service and impact, and in 2018 was recognized by State Representative Kyle Biedermann for 50 years of commitment to the hospitality and tourism industry.</p> <p>A former Chairman of the TACVB Board of Directors (now <a href=\"https://www.destinationstexas.org/\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">Destinations Texas</a>), Woods has been a strong advocate for professional development, strategic planning, and legislative awareness within the tourism industry.

His willingness to share knowledge openly has earned him a reputation as a trusted advisor and generous industry partner\u2014particularly to small and emerging DMOs.</p> <p>\"It has been the honor of my life to serve the tourism industry and to work alongside so many dedicated professionals across Texas,\" said Woods. \"The future of our industry is bright because of the collaboration, innovation, and resilience I see in destination leaders every day.\"</p> <p>Throughout his tenure, Woods has remained committed to elevating industry standards, embracing data-driven strategy, and empowering the next generation of tourism professionals.

With oversight from the Bank of Canada, this framework will enable open banking in the country for the first time, allowing consumers to access their data in real-time for more seamless budgeting and money management.</p> <p>\u201cThe passage of the Consumer-Driven Banking Act is encouraging news for Canadian households,\u201d says <strong>Jason Leong</strong>, PocketSmith CEO and Co-founder. \u201cFor many years, accessing and sharing financial data securely has been harder than it should be. This framework is an important step toward giving people clearer visibility over their money and more confidence in the tools they use every day.\u201d</p> <p>Canada has lagged behind other countries in open-banking policy, making it difficult for its residents to fully participate in 21st-century financial technologies. PocketSmith \u2013 who has provided bank feed services for its customers since 2011 \u2013 has noticed a severe decline in Canadian feed accessibility over the past five years in particular. Its latest tracking data reveals that, among traditional Canadian banks, the best performers have a 73% connection success rate, while the worst perform at 0%.</p> <p>The Consumer-Driven Banking Act could change that for the better, but PocketSmith is approaching the news with cautious optimism. Based on past experience with legislation in countries such as the U.K., New Zealand and Australia, there is often a lag between the passage of legislation and successful implementation.</p> <p>Even prior to passage, Canadian financial institutions have been working on a deadline of early 2026 for read-access, and a deadline of mid-2027 for write access. However, there were delays in the passage of the CDB, which may or may not affect implementation. Other obstacles between legislation and successful implementation often involve the writing and rewriting of regulatory guidelines as banks and governments create frameworks that are both practical and comply with existing privacy laws.</p> <p>\u201cIn other countries, we\u2019ve seen how open banking can help families feel more in control during times of rising costs and financial uncertainty,\u201d says Leong. \u201cWe\u2019re optimistic about what this means for Canadians and look forward to supporting a system that is secure, reliable and centred on consumer benefit.\u201d</p> <strong>About PocketSmith</strong> <p>Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Dunedin, New Zealand, PocketSmith is a global personal finance platform that helps households forecast, budget, and plan with confidence. Known for its advanced cash-flow forecasting and long-term financial modeling tools, PocketSmith enables users to project their financial future up to 60 years ahead.

Particles are physically trapped within fractures, while mineral surfaces naturally balance the water\u2019s chemistry through subtle ion exchange processes. Over time, this geological filtration produces water with low dissolved solids, balanced pH, and naturally occurring minerals that contribute to Be Water\u2122\u2019s clean taste and smooth finish.</p> Where to Purchase Be Water <p>In addition to now being available on <a href=\"https://www.walmart.com/ip/Be-Water-Artesian-Case-of-6-Natural-Alkaline-North-Carolina-Wells-Pure-Artisanal-Springs-Ionized-Premium-Bottled-Drinking-BPA-Free-Hydration/5143649533\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">Walmart.com</a>, Be Water\u2122 is currently available through select national retailers, including select Walmart locations and Camping World, with continued national expansion underway across additional retail and e-commerce channels.</p> About Be Water\u2122 <p>Be Water\u2122 is an American artesian spring water brand sourced from certified artesian wells and a naturally replenished aquifer formed nearly <strong>500 million years ago</strong> beneath the Blue Ridge Mountains and bottled at the source in Marion, North Carolina by Greene Concepts Inc.

Built for secure, governed use in regulated and enterprise business environments, LUMA combines a trusted enterprise AI assistant with vertical applications that use company knowledge to improve the efficiency of high-value workflows, including marketing content creation, sales proposal preparation, RFx questionnaire responses, and solutions engineering support.</p> <p>LUMA is designed to address two major enterprise AI challenges at once: trust and payoff. Many organizations remain cautious about using general-purpose AI tools with sensitive business information, and many are also struggling to convert AI investment into measurable day-to-day operational gains. LUMA addresses both by focusing on secure, controlled use cases tied to specific business outcomes.</p> <p>Unlike broad, open-ended AI tools, LUMA is designed to operate within enterprise-defined boundaries. The platform limits AI activity to a company\u2019s authorized knowledge sources rather</p> <p>than the open internet and allows users to direct the AI to specific libraries, folders, or curated repositories. LUMA also emphasizes enterprise-grade governance and security controls, including permission-aware access to content, controlled knowledge scope, administrative oversight, and workflow accountability.</p> <p>In addition to serving as a trustworthy general AI assistant for teams across the business, LUMA is differentiated as a vertical application provider that puts company knowledge directly to work in core revenue and operational activities. The platform is designed to help teams create accurate, on-brand marketing materials, prepare sales proposals more efficiently, answer RFx questionnaires with greater speed and consistency, and support solutions engineering teams through an AI Solutions Engineer capability that helps team members retrieve approved technical content, assemble accurate responses, generate solution narratives, and work more efficiently in complex pre-sales and customer-facing workflows.</p> <p>These applications represent LUMA\u2019s first vertical tools and the beginning of a broader product roadmap. RocketDocs expects LUMA to quickly expand with vertical applications for Customer Success and HR teams, including use cases such as renewal and account-plan preparation, QBR and customer communications support, onboarding and policy guidance, internal knowledge assistance, and the creation of approved people-process content.</p> <p>\u201cRocketDocs has spent decades helping some of the largest and most highly regulated organizations manage trusted content for high-stakes business workflows,\u201d said Perry Robinson, Founder and CEO of RocketDocs. \u201cWith LUMA, we are extending that foundation into AI in a way that addresses both of the market\u2019s biggest concerns: whether AI can be trusted with sensitive information, and whether it can deliver real business ROI. LUMA is built to do both.\u201d</p> <p>\u201cMany AI tools are impressive in demos, but enterprise teams need more than general-purpose answers,\u201d said Scott Getchel, Head of Product for LUMA. \u201cThey need AI that works inside approved knowledge boundaries, can be directed to the right libraries and folders, and is purpose-built for the workflows that matter\u2014like marketing content, proposals, RFx responses, and solutions engineering. That is where LUMA creates real value.\u201d</p> <p>\u201cEnterprise adoption will accelerate when organizations can trust the operating model and clearly measure the outcome,\u201d said Jerry Murry, Silicon Valley tech veteran and Member of the RocketDocs Board of Directors. \u201cLUMA stands out because it combines strong control and security with practical, workflow-specific applications that help teams work faster and more effectively.</p><p><a href=\"https://newsramp.com/blockchain/txn_detail/126dd8d620b3c070c8e580d41f456a6b.28984.bcuuid \"style=\"display: flex; align-items: flex-start;\"><img src=\"https://cdn.newsramp.net/qrcode/126dd8d620b3c070c8e580d41f456a6b.webp\" class=\"newsramp-qrcode\" style=\"width: 200px; max-width: 300px; margin-bottom: 25px;\"  alt=\"Blockchain Registration, Verification & Enhancement provided by NewsRamp\u2122\"/></a></p><p>This contant was orignally distributed by <a href=\"https://newsworthy.ai\">Newsworthy.ai</a>.

He belongs to the first generation of event professionals who adopted the internet as a working tool \u2014 and the interplay between human expertise and technology has fascinated him ever since. Now he has published a conversation that challenges the future of his entire profession. His conversation partner: an artificial intelligence.</p> <p>The unscripted dialogue between Marko\u010d, founder of Munich-based event agency <strong>Servicebroker GmbH</strong>, and Claude, an AI assistant by Anthropic (model Opus 4.6), is the centerpiece of <a href=\"https://eventmanagementisdead.com/en/\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">eventmanagementisdead.com</a> \u2014 an initiative designed to spark reflection and invite an open discourse on the future of human work. The impulse comes from the human; the co-creation is what's new. It is a manifesto for symbiosis \u2014 human expertise and technology, united for the benefit of people.</p> <p>The exchange covers uncomfortable territory. Where exactly does AI outperform a seasoned event professional? At what point does human judgment become irreplaceable? And what happens to an industry built on relationships when algorithms start handling the logistics? Along the way, the AI poses a surprising question of its own to the event manager. Marko\u010d lets the answers stand, even when they challenge his own role.</p> <p>\"AI frees you from the part that never defined you anyway \u2014 administering. What remains is what you actually set out for,\" says the AI. \"AI offers tools \u2014 but no goosebumps!\" says Dominik Marko\u010d.</p> <p>What makes the project unusual is the approach: an experienced event professional and an AI engage in a conversation that is both practical and philosophical \u2014 about sensory experience, empathy, creativity, and conquering hearts. Event management serves as a microcosm: one of many professions navigating the same transformation, from design and music to law and logistics.</p> <p>Beyond the dialogue, the website includes eight practical <a href=\"https://eventmanagementisdead.com/en/ki-tools/\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">AI prompt tools for event professionals</a>, from venue research to run-of-show planning \u2014 a snapshot, not a textbook, acknowledging that the technology evolves faster than any guide can follow.</p> <p>The full conversation and background on the project are available at <a href=\"https://eventmanagementisdead.com/en/article/\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">eventmanagementisdead.com/en/article</a></p> Frequently Asked Questions <p><strong>Can AI replace human event managers?</strong><br>According to Dominik Marko\u010d, AI excels at logistics, data analysis, and administrative tasks \u2014 but cannot replicate the human qualities that make events memorable: empathy, sensory judgment, improvisation under pressure, and the ability to create genuine emotional connections between people.</p> <p><strong>What is the difference between event management and event design?</strong><br>The eventmanagementisdead.com project argues that AI is transforming \"event management\" (the logistical, administrative process) into a largely automated function, while \"event design\" \u2014 the creative, human-centered craft of shaping experiences \u2014 becomes more important than ever.</p> <p><strong>How does AI change the role of event professionals?</strong><br>Rather than replacing event professionals, AI shifts their focus. When technology handles budgets, scheduling, and venue research, professionals can concentrate on what only humans can deliver: reading a room, building trust with clients, and designing moments that resonate emotionally.</p> <p><strong>What AI tools are useful for event planning?</strong><br>The website features eight practical AI prompt examples covering venue research, run-of-show planning, and more. These are designed as starting points for event professionals exploring AI integration, tested across ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot.</p> <p><strong>Why did an event agency publish a conversation with AI?</strong><br>Servicebroker GmbH chose to publicly examine the disruption in its own industry rather than ignore it. The project is a documented, real-time exploration of how human expertise and artificial intelligence can coexist \u2014 intended as both a professional resource and a time capsule of a pivotal moment in the industry.</p> About Dominik Marko\u010d <p>Dominik Marko\u010d is the founder and managing director of Servicebroker GmbH, an event agency based in Munich. As a certified event management professional (IHK \u2014 Germany's Chamber of Commerce), marketing specialist (BAW), and long-standing instructor for event and tourism professions, he has been working as an event entrepreneur since 1999.

His article, <em>\u201cWorkforce Education in Modern Motion: Rebuilding America\u2019s Talent Pipeline,\u201d</em> emphasizes that community colleges must become dynamic bridges between education and employment to sustain economic vitality and provide meaningful career pathways.</p> <p><strong>The Changing Landscape of Workforce Needs</strong><br>Johnson highlights the accelerating pace of technological change, from <a href=\"https://www.lonestar.edu/programs-of-study/ai-machine-learning\" rel=\"noopener\">AI and robotics</a> to advanced manufacturing, as a fundamental challenge for workforce educators.</p> <p>\u201cAdaptability must become the cornerstone of workforce education,\u201d Johnson writes. \u201cPrograms cannot be static, and employers cannot shoulder talent development alone. Community colleges are uniquely positioned to serve as the critical link between training and hiring.\u201d</p> <p><strong>A National Call to Action</strong><br>Recent data underscores the urgency:</p> <ul> <li>Job postings requiring a college degree dropped from 20.4% to 17.8% between 2019 and 2024 (Indeed Hiring Lab).</li> <li>70% of employers report difficulty finding skilled talent (ManpowerGroup, 2025 Global Talent Shortage Report).</li> <li>Nearly every U.S. region faces shortages across skilled trades, manufacturing, energy, and emerging technology sectors (BYF.org).</li> </ul> <p>Johnson notes, \u201cAmerica is shifting toward skills-based hiring, where competency and certification often outweigh traditional academic credentials. The workforce of 2035 is being shaped right now, higher education, employers and communities must coordinate deliberately.\u201d</p> <p><strong>A New Mandate for Community Colleges</strong><br>Johnson calls on community colleges to integrate workforce education into their core mission, moving beyond siloed divisions of customized corporate training, continuing education, and academic programs.</p> <p><em>\u201cWhen credentials do not stack into certificates and certificates do not stack into degrees, students lose momentum and institutions lose relevance,\u201d</em> he argues. <em>\u201cWe must build seamless pathways that reflect how modern Americans learn, work and upskill.\u201d</em></p> <p><strong>Industry Partnerships Beyond Advisory Boards</strong><br>Effective workforce development requires deep, reciprocal partnerships with employers\u2014not just advisory boards or occasional donations.</p> <p><em>\u201cEmployers need talent pipelines that deliver job-ready workers and colleges need employer validation to ensure program relevance,\u201d</em> Johnson explains. <em>\u201cStrengthening direct partnerships, not relying on staffing intermediaries, is key to building sustainable regional ecosystems.\u201d</em></p> <p><strong>The Human Element: From Hope to Hired</strong><br>At its core, workforce education is about transforming lives. Quoting Lean Manufacturing expert Guy Jones, Johnson frames the mission: \u201cOur objective is to convert hope into employment with precision, speed and integrity - guiding students from aspiration to certification, from certification to employment and from employment to lifelong career success.\u201d</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: Aligning Education with Industrial Prowess</strong><br>Johnson concludes that community colleges, when fully aligned with workforce development, can unlock community potential, strengthen regional industries, and secure America\u2019s competitive standing globally.</p> <p><em>\u201cIf we embrace this mission, we won\u2019t just fill the skills gap, we\u2019ll redefine America\u2019s workforce landscape for generations.\u201d</em></p> <p>For those interested in hearing more insights from Dr. Andrew Johnson III, a full interview is available below via <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@thebuildingtexasshow\" rel=\"noopener\">The Building Texas Show's Youtube Channel</a>:</p> <p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu16a1J4JuY\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>The $50 Billion Workforce Gap Nobody's Talking About | Texas 2035</strong></a></p> <p><strong>About <a href=\"https://energy.utexas.edu/profiles/andrew-johnson-iii\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. Andrew Johnson III</a>:</strong><br>Dr. Andrew Johnson III is a workforce education strategist, author and advocate for skills-based career pathways.
