Gary Gattis spent his entire career making video games, AI/Space was a late life industry transition. Why? When Gary decided it was time to move into the next adventure in his professional career, he asked everyone (yes, everyone) two important questions that led him to Hypergiant, where Gary and the team believes that AI is essential to secure our place in the universe via space exploration.

\u201cWe started looking at ground control, and saw there was a lot of room for disruption.\u201d- Gary Gattis on Casual Space Podcast\xa0

When it was time to move into the next chapter of Gary\u2019s professional journey, he went to friends and colleagues and asked everyone two questions:\xa0 \u201c1. What\u2019s the coolest stuff going on in the world, and 2. If you weren\u2019t doing what you were doing, what WOULD you be doing? That was a fascinating time in my life! I was doing 10+ coffee/ lunches a week! It was full time!\u201d\xa0

\u201cI call it my journey of discernment. Really, three things came out of it. The first was a deeper connection to myself. I was talking to people I\u2019ve known 20-30 years ago- old friends. Second, I got to see myself through other people\u2019s eyes.\xa0 Third, it really helped me hone my personal brand. It took a lot of external conversations for me to validate [what my personal brand was] through other people. It was a great experience for me, and I highly recommend this experience.\u201d -Gary\xa0

Interesting stuff about Hypergiant from Texas Monthly:\xa0Hypergiant aims to help its clients gather and analyze vast amounts of data. You\u2019re working on improving the sensory perception of machines. You\u2019re aiming to launch a network of small satellites gathering data from above. And you\u2019re looking to empower \u201csmart cities,\u201d stitching together data from cameras that are increasingly everywhere

Hypergiant does sell\u2014artificial intelligence-enabled software and hardware\u2014and you\u2019ll appreciate Lamm\u2019s problem. Even many people lacking in technological savvy have heard of AI as a force with the potential to shape much of humanity\u2019s future\u2014for better or worse. Some of those people look to get into business with Hypergiant without any real idea of what it is they\u2019re buying. They just know they want some. \u201cIt\u2019s like the most addictive drug that no one\u2019s ever had,\u201d says Lamm, who serves as the company\u2019s CEO.
