>> THREE GENERATIONS OF WOMEN IN
THE LU FAMILY HAVE LED TECHSERV,
WITH 2022 MARKING THE COMPANY'S
30TH YEAR IN BUSINESS.
THE IT SOLUTIONS MANAGEMENT FIRM
HAS EVOLVED OVER THOSE THREE
DECADES.
AND WITH DETAILS ON THE
ENTREPRENEURIAL JOURNEY AND
WHAT'S NEXT, I'M PLEASED TO BE
JOINED BY TECHSERV PRESIDENT
SUNNY LU WILLIAMS.
AND SUNNY, REALLY GREAT TO SEE
YOU.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THIS BIG
MILESTONE.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
PLEASURE TO BE HERE.
>> PROJECT MANAGEMENT,
TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS COMPANY,
GIVE US A THUMBNAIL SKETCH
REALLY OF WHAT TECHSERV IS ALL
ABOUT.
>> WE ARE DOING PROJECT
MANAGEMENT CONSULTING, IN HIGHER
ED, HEALTHCARE AND PUBLIC
SAFETY.
THE WORK WE'RE DOING BRIDGES
VERY NICELY THE INTERSECTION OF
FEDERALLY FUNDED, STATE FUNDED
INNOVATIONS IN PUBLIC POLICY AND
THE BUSINESS ACUMEN TECHNOLOGY
AND MARKETING SERVICES NEEDED TO
REALLY PROPEL THOSE COMMUNITY
PROGRAMS FORWARD
>> YOUR GRANDMOTHER FOUNDED THE
COMPANY 30 YEARS AGO.
YOU WERE WORKING FOR TELEMOND
AND WERE ABLE TO ACQUIRE
ESSENTIALLY A DIVISION OF THAT,
TALK ABOUT THAT PROCESS, AND
WHAT THAT MEANT TO YOU, AND
BEING ABLE TO HAVE THAT
OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THAT MOVE.
>> YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY, I
DIDN'T ACTUALLY KNOW THAT MY
GRANDMOTHER HAD FOUNDED THE
COMPANY UNTIL WE WERE LOOKING AT
STOCK LEDGERS IN 2019, DOING
EQUITY TRANSFERS, THAT
DEEP-DIVED INTO THIS WONDERFUL
KIND OF STORY-TELLING
OPPORTUNITY WITH MY GRANDMOTHER,
MY MOTHER, AND IT'S BEEN A
WONDERFUL LEGACY, AND I'M VERY
THANKFUL FOR HAVING HAD THAT
OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE THE
BUSINESS.
>> I KNOW AN IMPORTANT PART OF
THE PROCESS AND THE JOURNEY WAS
WHEN PRESIDENT REAGAN SIGNED THE
WOMEN'S BUSINESS OWNERSHIP ACT,
YOU SAID THAT HAD A PROFOUND
IMPACT ON THE COMPANY.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
I THINK WITH THAT PIECE OF
LEGISLATION, THAT POLICY REALLY
GARNERED MORE ADDITIONAL
OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN
BUSINESS.
AND I THINK BEING THE
ENTREPRENEURIAL MINDSET THAT MY
GRANDMOTHER HAD AT THE TIME,
THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY, WHAT CAN
WE DO WITH THIS?
TECH SERVE WAS BORN OUT OF NOT
ONLY THAT PIECE OF LEGISLATION,
BUT LOOKING AT HOW TO TAKE A
BUSINESS IN SERVICE MODE IN
SUPPORT OF OTHER COMMUNITIES AND
CONSTITUENCIES THAT DIDN'T
UNDERSTAND YET HOW TO START A
BUSINESS WITHOUT THE
TECHNOLOGIES OF THE TIME,
WITHOUT THE UNDERSTANDING OF
ACTUALLY DELIVERING THEIR
SERVICES, AND HAVING THIS BE A
NEW ENTREPRENEURSHIP MODEL FOR
EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY WOMEN IN
BUSINESS
>> A BIG YEAR COMING UP NEXT
YEAR, 30 YEARS IN BUSINESS, A
LOT OF BIG EVENTS, THINGS
PLANNED, GIVE US A PREVIEW OR A
HINT.
>> WE'RE VERY EXCITED, WE ARE
GOING TO BE DELVING INTO NEW TO
ME TECHNOLOGY, WE'RE PARTNERING
WITH THE START IT UP FOUNDATION,
WHICH I'M ON THE BOARD OF,
SHOUTOUT TO THAT GROUP.
WE'RE GOING TO BE LAUNCHING AN
EVENT CALLED NFT VEGAS.
THIS IS THE FIRST YOU'VE HEARD
OF IT LIVE ON YOUR SHOW.
WE ARE GOING TO BE EDUCATING THE
PUBLIC ABOUT WHAT NFT IS, AND
HOW IT IS A SUPPORT ON DIGITAL
RIGHTS MANAGEMENT, EDUCATION
THROUGH THE MONETIZATION OF
EVERYTHING FROM WEBINARS TO
CURRICULUM, AND HOW WE CAN HELP
IN HEALTHCARE WHEN WE LOOK AT
THE TRACKING OF THAT TOKEN AND
HOW PUBLIC HEALTH CONSUMERS ARE
LEARNING AND GRASPING MORE ABOUT
EDUCATION AND HOW DO I TAKE
BETTER CARE OF MY HEALTH
>> THANKS FOR BREAKING THAT NEWS
ON OUR SHOW, WE'LL LOOK FORWARD
TO COVERING THAT IN THE WEEKS
AHEAD, SUNNY LU WILLIAMS,
