In the latest episode of the How I Got Here podcast, host Dave Fiore sits down with Ja’Baree Allen, founder of Phusion AI, for a conversation about resilience, opportunity and building something bigger than yourself. Allen grew up in Perry, Florida, where he navigated racism in a divided small town and learned early that standing out as “the smart kid on the bus” could cut both ways. A gift for words, a photographic memory and an entrepreneurial instinct he could not quite explain set him apart. Music gave him a voice, and a professor at Florida State University’s Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship gave him something he had never had before: someone who truly believed in him. Today, Phusion AI is an Anthropic and NVIDIA partner, helping local businesses put artificial intelligence to work in practical, meaningful ways — bringing serious technology to companies that would not otherwise have access to it. Allen credits his path to faith, saying God opened every door he has walked through. In this episode, Dave and Ja’Baree talk about opportunity, community and what it means to build a legacy rooted in purpose. Listen now at hightlh.com.
