Why Invite me?

Imagine if Silicon Valley, the U.N., and a stand-up comedy routine had a love child that was really into tech, startups, and making the world slightly less terrible. That's basically me, Adrien Harrison, in a podcast-guest-shaped nutshell. So, why am I the unofficially certified, must-have guest for your podcast? Let’s dive into the rabbit hole: Early Beginnings as a Comedy Kid Wonder: At 15, while most kids were mastering the art of awkward flirting, I was performing stand-up and improv in the comedy gladiator arenas of NYC. My survival skills from dodging tomatoes (mostly figuratively) and navigating high school hallways (literally) have prepared me to tackle even the most stoic podcast audiences. Tech-Savvy With a Side of Sass: Picture this: a smoking Frenchman who talks about AI, blockchain, and the future of education in a way that makes you wonder if Elon Musk and Betty White are actually the same person. My companies aren’t just my work; they’re punchlines in the grand joke of trying to innovate without losing your sanity. Founder of Things: From Smart Course, a haven for kids with special needs, to Better Societies, where deep tech startups find their groove, to Echo Studio, where executives ditch the 9 to 5 for entrepreneurship and pina coladas in Bali; my entrepreneurial adventures are like episodes of a sitcom. There’s drama, there's failure, and occasionally, there’s an inspirational monologue that I like to imagine gets a standing ovation... though, realistically, doesn’t quite cue the applause. But hey, we’re getting there. A Résumé That Reads Like a Comedy Script: Ever tried explaining blockchain to a five-year-old or debating the ethical implications of AI with a chatbot? It's as fun as it sounds. My experiences across startups, accelerators, and the "occasional" existential crisis provide endless material for both profound insights and gut-busting anecdotes. Inspiration, Perspiration, and a Little Bit of Desperation: My journey from teenage comedian to serial entrepreneur is less of a straight path and more of a "Where am I? How did I get here? And why is there a llama, licking Jeff Bezos?" scenario. If your listeners are looking for stories that inspire, educate, and entertain—preferably all at once—I’m your guy. Where else will you find someone who can seamlessly blend tales of startup triumphs with lessons learned from bombing on stage (comedically speaking), all while offering actionable insights into the future of tech, self-development, and education? Plus, I promise not to use your podcast as an open mic night. Probably. Let’s make podcast magic—or at the very least, create an episode that gives TED Talks and Saturday Night Live a run for their money.
