SUMMARY: Aaron, Terryn, and finance specialist Tabby Kler dig into one of the most practical conversations happening in business right now: where does AI actually fit, and where do you still need real people? From using Claude to build reconciliation templates in seconds to turning a departing employee's entire email archive into a searchable company resource, they walk through real use cases that are saving time and elevating teams right now. Terryn breaks down why AI is less of a replacement and more of a general contractor relationship, and Tabby gets honest about why bookkeepers are not going anywhere just yet. The message throughout is clear: AI is only as smart as what you feed it, and the smartest thing you can do is keep great people focused on what only people can do.

For aging adults and people experiencing memory changes, everyday technology can be confusing, frustrating, and difficult to navigate.Angela Cearns is the founder and CEO of AsKevin, which offers workshops and digital coaching to help older adults and those with cognitive challenges — including Alzheimer's, dementia, and Parkinson's disease — better understand and use technology. In this conversation with Being Patient's Mark Niu, Cearns identifies three core struggles facing people with cognitive challenges in the digital world: the constant distraction of notifications that makes it hard to keep track of information, the self-doubt caused by frequent software updates that change familiar interfaces, and the shame that comes from needing to ask family members for help. Cearns, a former head of product management at Amazon Prime and chief e-commerce officer at Pizza Hut International, shares practical strategies for simplifying devices, turning off unnecessary notifications, cleaning up contact lists and focusing on tools that keep people connected. She also highlights the growing threat of multistep scams targeting older adults. While technology can bring risks, Cearns emphasizes that it can also be a lifeline — helping people stay engaged with loved ones, health care, and the wider world.----If you loved watching this Live Talk, visit our website to find more of our Alzheimer's coverage and subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.beingpatient.com/Follow Being Patient: Twitter: https://twitter.com/Being_Patient_Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beingpatientvoices/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beingpatientalzheimersLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/being-patientBeing Patient is an editorially independent journalism outlet for news and reporting about brain health, cognitive science, and neurodegenerative diseases.

The Money Mindset Shift Every Woman Entrepreneur Needs There are more men named John running Fortune 500 companies than there are women. Total. Let that sink in for a second. That's just one of the things Vivian Tu, aka Your Rich BFF, dropped in this episode that made me go, wait, what? She went from being told she was "too girly for Wall Street" to becoming one of the most trusted voices in personal finance. And the way she breaks down money will make you rethink everything you thought you knew. We get into why women who are crushing it in business still let their money sit in a savings account earning 0.39%, the simple equation that tells you whether something is actually worth buying, why women fight over 2% of the pie when there's 98% sitting right there, and how to stop working around the clock and let your money do the work instead. Vivian also gets real about running her business at a sprint pace for years and what she's doing to finally build something sustainable. This is the money conversation I wish I had ten years ago. CHAPTERS: 00:00 "Money Truths with Amy Porterfield" 05:39 "Growing Wealth and Money Mindset" 13:42 "Leaving Wall Street and Identity" 19:05 Work Ethic and Efficiency 22:26 "Scaling Up: Hiring Strategically" 28:22 "Leveraging Technology and Lessons" 33:04 "Investing: Money Works for You" 41:43 Redefining Richness and Values 46:21 Why Women Struggle to Celebrate Success 51:56 "Focus on Profitable Ventures" 56:26 "Get Rich, Stay Rich Framework" 01:01:02 "Mastering Life's Biggest Finances" HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Separate Your Business and Personal Finances – As soon as you start making real money, set up a business entity that's fully separate from you. Your dry cleaning bill should not be on your business credit card. This protects you and sets you up to scale. 2️⃣ Stop Letting Your Money Sit in a Savings Account – A regular savings account earns you almost nothing. Once you have your emergency fund set, your money should be working for you through investments. Your labor earns you capital. Your capital makes you rich. 3️⃣ Value Purchases in Time, Not Dollars – Before you buy something, divide the cost by your hourly take-home pay. That $100 pair of yoga pants might cost you five hours of work. Is it worth it? This simple equation helps you spend strategically and without guilt.
