Actual Intelligence With Audrey

Welcome to The Actual Intelligence Show — where tech meets the real world, and conversations spark connection, curiosity, and community. Hosted by Audrey Willis, this Memphis-based radio show and digital platform brings technology to life through real, relatable stories from the people shaping the future. Whether you're a coder, creative, entrepreneur, student, or parent, Actual Intelligence (AI) is your go-to space for discovering how tech intersects with everyday life—and how you can be part of it. In a world where artificial intelligence dominates headlines, we focus on something just as powerful: actual intelligence—the lived experiences, insights, and innovations of people from all walks of life. On the show, we feature in-depth interviews with technologists, entrepreneurs, and educators from Memphis and beyond. We spotlight success stories from students, startups, and community changemakers, while also exploring emerging technologies like AI, cybersecurity, and blockchain in a way that’s clear and relevant. We share career tips, coding project ideas, and guidance on how to break into tech—regardless of where you're starting from. We also offer practical parenting insights for raising children in a digital world, and highlight the energy and growth of the thriving tech and startup ecosystem in the Digital Delta. Tech shouldn’t be a mystery—or a members-only club. Actual Intelligence bridges the gap between Silicon Valley and South Memphis, between code and culture, between innovation and inclusion. Our mission is to empower, educate, and elevate—making tech accessible, inclusive, and relevant to everyone. Rooted in Memphis. Powered by purpose. Designed for all. Follow us for episodes, guest features, local spotlights, and inspiring stories that prove you don’t need a PhD—or a hoodie—to change the tech world. Let’s build the future. Together.
