From 8 Mile to CEO: Kelly Siegel on AI, Resilience, and Reinvention

In this episode of Stories Worth Hearing, host John Quick sits down with Kelly Siegel, CEO of National Technology Management and best-selling author of Harder Than Life and Happier Than Life. Raised on Seven Mile in Detroit, Kelly transformed hardship into opportunity—growing a modern tech firm and becoming a leading voice for AI optimism.

Today, Kelly is spearheading a high-impact movement in partnership with Prompts.ai to make AI accessible, practical, and empowering for every worker. By rolling out no-code AI tools across Fortune-level companies, he's helping employees skyrocket productivity, reduce AI implementation costs by up to 98%, and fuse the power of 35+ AI models into one streamlined, secure experience.

Tune in to learn how Kelly’s path to success shaped his mission, how his books—Harder Than Life and Happier Than Life—reflect his philosophy, and why he believes AI is not a threat but a career supercharger.
