As we “engage” in this new era of digital content and creation, we must face change head on! Why? Because emerging technologies in our digitally enhanced world have created new and different realities and business models.

This change will revolutionize all aspects of life and business in some way, causing the way we communicate to change with the times. It will create new lines of business and transform interactions between customers and companies.

Right now, businesses big and small are facing a very different future. Soon, companies will find themselves faced with a decision of waiting it out or simply going for it. To that, we say, do you want to be a part of the change, or do you want to watch it go by?

To grow and thrive in this new and fast-changing world, organizations must be strategic and responsible in respect to ownership of data, inclusion & diversity, sustainability, and personal safety.

It’s time to think differently.

It was 1977, and one of the best movies ever created was released. “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” is an American science fiction film written and directed by Steven Spielberg. This is when the spark was created. Science fiction has always been fascinating, but at the time, art was not something that could be a ‘real job’, and it was hard enough getting a well-paying job as a black man. Because of this, Dale ended up attending Metro Tech School in Omaha, NE, studying drafting. That was short-lived and life went back to ‘normal’. Fast forward to November 1995 when that initial spark was re-ignited with Pixar’s release of “Toy Story”. This was the first full-length feature film ever created using only 3D animated software . Dale and his friend Andre were officially on a mission to not only do something similar, but do it even better…
