The word "with" is in most episode titles of the biweekly podcast Empower Apps. Why? Because in every episode, host Leo Dion learns from others to help his listeners.
Dion established Empower Apps at the right time. The show is about increasing technological understanding. He has a long history in the field. Dion graduated with his master's degree in Digital Media and Art Technology in 2005. The first iPhone debuted two years later, in the summer of 2007. Dion has spent the last two decades growing alongside Apple (and Mac, iOS, etc.). In 2012, he started the company BrightDigit, which he owns and cultivates to this day.
The mission of BrightDigit aligns with that of his show, Empower Apps. His primary goal is to help people maximize efficiency online. Dion provides support for individuals and companies alike by exploring oft-complex Apple technologies. Within BrightDigit, Dion assists clients by championing Apple software and programming. On Empower Apps, Dion mediates open, creative discussions with colleagues in the industry.
Each episode of Empower Apps examines the technical structure of applications. Every interview parses out a technical concept and makes it accessible to listeners. Dion asks questions with his audience in mind. He probes interview subjects for the details he knows his listeners want. The question of relevance is an underlying theme throughout the show as well. Dion's show fulfills the need for constant industry updates. The host understands the speed with which these technologies develop.
Dion brings many guests onto his show. This structure allows him to identify with listeners as a student of technology as well as a teacher. In this dual role, Dion allies himself with listeners. Listening to Empower Apps can help people understand the tumultuous world of modern computer science.
