In today's episode, I'm diving into the career of David Holz, a figure who echoes the spirit of the early Silicon Valley era.

Holz first entered the tech scene as the founder and CEO of Leap Motion. This company, separate from Magic Leap, introduced a fresh user interface for computers, using hand gestures and cameras. Despite its innovative approach, Leap Motion found itself ahead of its time and was sold to Ultrahaptics in 2019.

Post-Leap Motion, Holz didn't rest. He established a studio to seek out new possibilities. This exploration led him to the intersection of AI and art. Through self-funding, he developed Midjourney, a product that brings AI-generated art to life, and introduced it as a Discord bot earlier this summer.

This episode aims to explore Holz's journey, his experiences with the boom and bust of Leap Motion, and his pivot towards AI-generated art with Midjourney. It's a story of resilience, creativity, and the timeless Silicon Valley spirit of turning setbacks into opportunities.
