AmeriCorps. Afghanistan. Siemens Energy. Houston ISD. And now CTO of CyFair ISD — one of the largest school districts in the country with 115,000 students right outside Houston.

Charles Franklin did not take the traditional path. And that’s exactly what makes this conversation so good.

We talked AI, shadow IT, and what it actually looks like to lead technology innovation when you’re balancing a giant system AND trying not to step on toes. Charles brought wisdom, honesty, and more than a few laughs.

His take? The tech will change. The AI will change. But at the end of the day, it’s still humans serving humans.

That’s the work. That’s the episode. Go listen.
