The Daryl Batchelor Story: War Zones, Coding, and AI
Episode description
In this episode of When I Grow Up, Paul Glazby sits down with Daryl Batchelor to explore a truly fascinating life journey, from serving as an infantry officer in the Australian Army to becoming a self-taught web developer, entrepreneur, and AI leader.
Daryl shares his experiences from deployments in East Timor and Afghanistan, mentoring Afghan soldiers under extreme conditions, and how military life shaped his mindset. After leaving the Army, Darryl taught himself coding, moved into web and game development, and created defence training apps now used by soldiers worldwide.
They also dive into Daryl’s work in AI and robotics, his views on the future of technology (spoiler: he's 50/50 on Skynet happening), and the explosive growth of tools that are reshaping every industry. Plus, Paul gets hands-on with Darryl’s latest innovation, a mobile shooting simulation system!
