<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Join me as I talk to</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Lomit Patel (author of the book</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lean AI: How Innovative Startups Use Artificial Intelligence to Grow</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, startup advisor, public speaker, and Vice President of Growth at IMVU) in this episode of the</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tech Leader Talk</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">podcast as he discusses how he got involved in the world of technology and came to work with IMVU.
