🚀Official Launch of the #TTH | Academy 🎓
BobbyD 👨🏾💻:
Wait, wait, wait….
Y’all didn’t think we were just talking, did you?! We told y’all we were launching the #TTH | Academy 🎓, and that’s exactly what we did!
On Juneteenth 2025, we the #TTH crew hosted our official public launch where we opened the virtual doors to the Academy and laid out the vision for both learning AI and owning your space in this new era of tech.
Two words: a vibe.
But if you weren’t in attendance for the launch, it’s cool. You’re still eligible to apply for the upcoming cohort that starts mid-July. Here’s what you need to do:
➡︎ Book a Discovery Call with Me: Let’s chat for 15 minutes about your ‘why’ for joining the Academy. I want to know more about you, where you are in your tech hustle, and the levels you’re trying to reach over the next few years.
➡︎ Request a Scholarship: If the cost of the Academy isn’t feasible, you’re welcome to apply for a scholarship to cover membership. Please note that scholarships are limited and prioritized for students from underrepresented backgrounds, including CodePath students and Brilliant Black Minds fellows.
➡︎ Ask Your Employer: It’s possible that your employer offers education benefits that you can tap into to pay for your seat in the Academy. Use this free pre-written email template to see about getting your tech education financed.
➡︎ Join the #TTH Community: If you haven’t heard, #TheTechHustle Premium Community+ is where the tech fam is gathering to make sure we reach every next level. Discord access, 1-on-1 mentoring, tech workshops, career coaching, and several other resources that’ll help you take a proactive approach to your hustle.
➡︎ Build Your AI Virtual Twin: Ever wonder what it would be like to have a digital replica of yourself that could move, speak, and express emotions? Get your mind right and sharpen your skills with this e-book (free) on creating an AI twin.
📆Enrollment for the #TTH | Academy 🎓 closes on 7/19!

I’m ready to see who’s serious about this tech life! These next steps will get you plugged in with us and on your own path to greatness. Catch you on the inside, fam.
🎙️Backstage at the Black Wealth Summit 2025
I’m here to tell you that Backstage with BobbyD has done it again! Your boy has been at the mic with several more great tech minds over the past few months.
As you may know, the crew and I pulled up to the Black Wealth Summit 2025 at Florida Memorial University (FMU) at the beginning of March. Not only were we in the presence of (Black) greatness, I was able to secure some fire content with tech pros who are continually reaching back to help pull our people up.
We hit all sides of the spectrum with this Black Wealth Summit series. Feel free to check out the conversations and learn a thing or two.
Highlight Interviews from the BWS Series
🎙️I sat down with the “Queen of AI” and Founder of AI InnoVision, Alicia Lyttle, and she dropped gems about doubling one’s revenue via autonomous agents.
🎙️My conversation with Brendan Boyd introduced us to the ins and outs of brand building and podcast monetization. He broke down what it takes to turn podcasts into client-acquisition engines.

📳Industry Pulse - June 2025 Picks
Advancements in AI are happening daily at this point. Here are a handful of the latest AI-infra headlines that are keeping the convo going in the industry:
🖫 A New Era of Computing: In March 2025, NVIDIA announced the arrival of the NVIDIA Blackwell platform. The company states that the platform will allow organizations to “build and run real-time generative AI on trillion-parameter large language models at up to 25x less cost and energy consumption than its predecessor.” It will be interesting to see what type of opportunities and developments emerge from here.
🖫 A Cheaper Blackwell AI Chip: In other NVIDIA news, the company plans to launch a cheaper Blackwell AI chipset for China. This comes as part of its latest efforts to hold its position in the Chinese market.
🖫 CREATE AI Act of 2025: If passed, the CREATE AI Act of 2025 would estalish the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource. The NAIRR would provide wider access to the resources needed for cutting-edge AI R&D.
🖫 AI Whistleblower Protection Act: If passed, this Act would prohibit employment discrimination against whistleblowers who report security vulnerabilities, failures, or violations related to AI technology.
