In this episode, Dr. Danielle McArdle reflects on what it really took to become the version of herself she always imagined. She shares how the PhD process tested her confidence, challenged her identity, and forced her to let go of the idea that she had to figure it all out on her own. We talk about the real work of finding your people, navigating difficult advisor relationships, and learning how to trust your voice.

Through Agentforce, CurrencyFair will deploy an AI agent designed to augment its human customer service team by autonomously and quickly resolving common customer queries 24/7. This move will enable CurrencyFair's expert money-transfer team to focus on morecomplex and personalised support cases where it matters most. Why it's important: Ninety-three percent of service professionals at organisations with AI say the technology saves them time, allowing them to provide better support to customers. Driving the news: Irish-headquartered CurrencyFair, which manages over 100,000 customer interactions each year, is known for its exceptional, hands-on customer service, offering individuals and businesses a faster, more affordable, and secure way to send money across borders.

Routine customer inquiries, such as questions about supported currencies and countries, password changes, and required documents for customer profiles, will be handled more efficiently through the AI agent's automated responses. AI agents are anticipated to assist with around 10% of customer requests, ensuring that customers receive the information they need more quickly, regardless of whether their support comes from a human or AI agent.
