Raised on sci-fi. Running on AI.

# 80s kids were built for the AI generation.

We grew up in the arcade era. Quarters in our pockets. Joysticks in our hands. Always ready to try again for a higher score. Then we watched computers talk, cars think, and robots become friends. WarGames, Knight Rider, Short Circuit, and The Terminator made AI part of our imagination long before it became part of our workday.

The future we grew up imagining is coming to life. I’m putting it to work in my own businesses, and I’m here to help other business owners move into the AI generation.

OPERATOR FIRST. A LITTLE SCI-FI AT HEART.

AI AGENTS / HOSPITALITY

Don Branzuela · Dallas–Fort Worth, TX

## I move companies into the AI generation.

I’m Don Branzuela, a Fractional Chief AI Officer. I previously owned a beverage catering company with multimillion-dollar revenue. Today I still run my own businesses with AI agents, and I put that same system to work for other businesses.

Behind the scenes

### Your Fractional Chief AI Officer.

Through Dynamic Buzz Digital, I find the work AI agents should be doing in a business, build them, and keep them running. I also serve as Fractional Chief AI Officer for JT Hospitality Group.

### Less pitch. More teaching.

I speak about the mobile beverage industry and teach how an operator runs real businesses with AI agents.

Two groups for people serious about running a lemonade business or a mobile bar, and why knowing whose advice comes from real experience matters.
