Digitization in Today's Times

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jerry Abiog of</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Standard Insights joins me in this episode as we discuss the need for digitization in the world of technology, especially now during the COVID-19 pandemic. Jerry helps develop artificial intelligence for companies, especially for restaurants, and he even helped develop digital menus driven by artificial intelligence for companies, which was temporarily shelved until the pandemic increased the need for it.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jerry predicts that that need for digitization is not going away in the future and that it will, in fact, continue to rise, something that more and more companies need to recognize and act on if they want to stay in business. He stresses the importance of companies putting the customers first before all else and listening to what they have to say, be it positive or negative feedback. He also advises us that it's important for us to learn to be personally and professionally uncomfortable because that discomfort leads to growth.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jerry also discusses his hopes and fears regarding the future and what his future plans are for Standard Insights, hoping to expand what they do for restaurants.
