    Redefining Data: How Flow Immersive Is Using AI and AR to Transform the Boardroom
    Nov 11 2025

    In this episode of Coffey & Code, host Ashley Coffey sits down with Jason Marsh — founder and CEO of Flow Immersive— to explore how AI, AR, and spatial computing are transforming the way we visualize and interact with data.

    Marsh, a veteran technologist with over 50 years of coding experience and a former Apple engineer, shares how Flow Immersive is replacing 2D slide decks with immersive 3D data stories powered by artificial intelligence. From visualizing Medicare and financial data in augmented reality to powering data storytelling at the United Nations General Assembly, Flow is changing how leaders collaborate, communicate, and make data-driven decisions.

    Listeners will learn:

    • How AI and AR smart glasses create interactive, multi-user data environments.
    • Why Flow Immersive’s “speak with your data” feature lets users query and visualize information in real time.
    • The challenges and breakthroughs of building multi-user AI systems for the enterprise.
    • Why the boardrooms of the future will feature floating, collaborative 3D visualizations instead of flat PowerPoint slides.
    • How Marsh defines “cool” as mastery and control — the ultimate intersection of human intuition and technology.

    Whether you’re curious about the future of spatial computing, AI-driven storytelling, or immersive collaboration, this conversation is a front-row look at how data visualization is evolving from slides to holograms.

    🎧 Listen now on Coffey & Code — where technology meets human creativity.

    Navigating Digital Well-Being in the Age of AI
    Oct 17 2025
    Author and experience designer Caitlin Krause joins Coffey & Code to unpack digital wellbeing beyond buzzwords: agency over algorithms, the “presence pyramid,” culture cornerstones (dignity, freedom, invention, agency), and practical ways to design for authentic connection in an age of AI, agents, and XR. The conversation spans data ownership, interoperable “internet of agents” ideas like Project NANDA, the loneliness epidemic, and responsible product choices that reduce harm and increase belongingEpisode At A Glance:Define “digital wellbeing” without the hype: aligning intention and attention; context over one-size-fits-all rulesAgency over algorithms: opting into platforms and practices that honor user choice, not just engagement metricsPresence Pyramid & somatic awareness: embodied practices that translate across 2D, XR, and spatial environmentsCulture Cornerstones: dignity → freedom → invention → agency as a repeatable loop for teams and communitiesFrom silos to interoperability: why open protocols for AI agents matter (e.g., Project NANDA)Designing for belonging: move beyond performative social to ambient, low-stakes co-presence that reduces lonelinessSafety first: name harms clearly; pair AI with human support paths and mood check-ins after useResources Mentioned:Digital Well-being (book) by Caitlin Krause; also: Designing Wonder, Mindful by DesignPresence Pyramid (framework)Project NANDA: Networked AI Agents and Decentralized ArchitectureStanford HAI; MIT Media Lab; AR in ActionResearch/voices referenced: Esther Perel, Sherry Turkle, Brené Brown, Fei-Fei Li, Ramesh Raskar, David EaglemanOn anthropomorphism of AI (NPR segment)988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (US) EPISODE CREDITS:Produced and edited by Ashley Coffey.
