100th Episode | PRWeb Founder and proud Bobcat, David McInnis
The Building Texas Show marks a major milestone — 100 episodes — with an extraordinary guest who embodies the spirit of innovation in Texas business.
Host Justin McKenzie sits down with David McInnis, founder of PRWeb and co-founder of Newsworthy.ai, to unpack a lifetime of entrepreneurship — from selling homemade lollipops as a kid to building one of the first online press release platforms and now leading an AI-powered media technology company.
This conversation captures what The Building Texas Show is all about: how ideas, technology, and leadership are quietly shaping the future of Texas and beyond.

“If you’re not showing up in the news, you’re invisible,” says McInnis.
“We built Newsworthy.ai to help every organization — from small towns to global brands — become visible across Google, ChatGPT, and AI-driven search.”
The Future of Visibility
In this milestone discussion, Justin and David explore how AI and authentic storytelling are creating new opportunities for entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and community leaders.
They reveal how The Building Texas Show’s own integration of Newsworthy.ai has driven a 20x increase in website traffic, proving that the same tools can amplify any mission-driven story.
“One hundred episodes later, we’re still uncovering the stories that define modern Texas,” says McKenzie. “And the next hundred will go even further.”
