The Building Texas Show has reached a significant milestone with its 100th episode featuring prominent Texas entrepreneur David McInnis, founder of PRWeb and co-founder of Newsworthy.ai. Host Justin McKenzie conducted the landmark interview, exploring McInnis's entrepreneurial journey from starting a small lollipop business in middle school to building one of the first online press release distribution platforms and now leading an AI-driven media company.
During the episode, McKenzie and McInnis delve into how technology, storytelling, and innovation are fundamentally transforming business visibility in the age of artificial intelligence. McInnis shared insights about how his current company, Newsworthy.ai, helps businesses, nonprofits, and creators gain visibility across platforms including Google, ChatGPT, and other AI-driven systems. The discussion emphasized that the future of media depends heavily on authenticity and consistency in communication.
One hundred episodes later, we're still uncovering the stories that define modern Texas, said Justin McKenzie, host of The Building Texas Show. David's journey from bootstrapping PRWeb to launching Newsworthy.ai embodies vision, persistence and purpose. The episode demonstrates practical applications of AI technology, revealing how integrating AI-powered tools into The Building Texas Show has resulted in a twenty-fold increase in web traffic, significantly expanding the program's reach across Texas and beyond.
McInnis articulated a crucial perspective for modern businesses: If you're not showing up in the news, you're invisible. AI rewards organizations that remain active, transparent, and relevant. That's the support we built Newsworthy.ai to provide. This statement underscores the growing importance of maintaining an active media presence in an increasingly AI-driven digital landscape where visibility algorithms prioritize consistent, authentic content.
The milestone episode serves as both a celebration of the show's achievements and a forward-looking discussion about the evolving relationship between media, technology, and business growth. As The Building Texas Show continues its expansion, McKenzie has extended an invitation to entrepreneurs, community leaders, and innovators across Texas to share their stories in future episodes. Every business and community has a story worth telling, McKenzie added. If you're building something that's changing your town, your county, or your industry – we want to hear from you.
