• When Worlds Collide (Virtually)
    Picture this: It’s 2020, and the travel industry is in complete chaos. While most professionals were drowning in uncertainty, two curious minds on opposite sides of the world were about to spark something extraordinary. Dave, sipping his morning flat white in Sydney’s bustling tech scene, and Rohit, navigating the fast-paced hospitality landscape of New York City, had no idea their paths were about to cross in the most serendipitous way. Enter the matchmaker, a mutual friend in the travel industry who had a hunch that these two would hit it off. “You guys need to meet,” they said, setting up what would become one of the most impactful introductions in travel tech history.
  • From their very first video call, something magical happened. Despite the 15-hour time difference and being separated by 9,000 miles of ocean, Dave and Rohit discovered they shared an infectious curiosity about technology and its potential to transform travel. What started as a casual industry introduction quickly evolved into regular brainstorming sessions, late-night (for one of them) conversations about emerging trends, and a genuine friendship built on shared passion. Dave, with his laid-back Australian charm and keen eye for innovation, became Rohit’s biggest cheerleader. “Keep digging, mate,” he’d say during their weekly catchups. “Your curiosity is going to change everything.” Meanwhile, Rohit’s relentless pursuit of knowledge and his ability to spot trends before they hit mainstream kept Dave constantly inspired.
  • Then came November 2022, the moment that changed everything. When OpenAI released ChatGPT to the world, both Dave and Rohit felt like they were witnessing the future unfold in real-time. Their regular conversations shifted from casual industry updates to urgent strategy sessions.“ This isn’t just going to change travel,” Rohit exclaimed during one of their calls, his excitement palpable even through the screen. “This is going to revolutionize how we live, work, and think.” Dave nodded enthusiastically from his Sydney office. “The question isn’t whether AI will transform our industry, it’s whether we’ll be ready for it.”
  • As months passed and AI technology evolved at breakneck speed, both friends noticed something troubling. While technology was advancing rapidly, most people including seasoned professionals in their own industry were either completely overwhelmed or dangerously uninformed about AI’s capabilities and implications.“We’re moving so fast that we’re leaving people behind,” Rohit observed during one of their regular calls.

    Dave leaned forward, his eyes lighting up with that familiar spark of inspiration. “What if we could change that? What if we could build something that makes AI accessible to everyone?

  • It was a Tuesday morning in Sydney (Monday evening in New York) when Dave picked up his phone with unusual excitement. “Rohit, I’ve got it!” he practically shouted into the receiver. “We need to stop talking about this and start building it. Let’s create a platform that teaches people how to use AI strategically and responsibly no technical jargon, no intimidation, just practical, human-centered learning.” Rohit didn’t hesitate for a second. “When do we start?”
  • And just like that, AI Crash Course was born not in a garage or a boardroom, but in the space between two continents, fueled by friendship, curiosity, and a shared mission to democratize AI literacy.Their vision was beautifully simple: create a platform that would demystify artificial intelligence and teach people how to harness its power without getting lost in technical complexity. They wanted to build something that would help professionals, entrepreneurs, and curious minds everywhere to navigate the AI revolution with confidence and responsibility.
  • Today, Dave and Rohit continue their mission from their respective corners of the world, proving that the best partnerships aren’t limited by geography, they’re powered by shared vision, mutual respect, and the kind of friendship that turns late-night conversations into world-changing ideas.Their story reminds us that in our hyper-connected world, the most powerful innovations often come from the most human connections. Sometimes, all it takes is two people who believe in the power of curiosity, the importance of accessibility, and the magic that happens when great minds meet even if they’re 9,000 miles apart.
