Craig talks about how the role of the advisor has evolved alongside technology, and particularly how the role of the CPA has changed. With the rise of AI, we are beginning to witness the next-stage transformation of the family advisor role. Craig shares his thoughts on what is likely to happen to the role of the fiduciary advisor in the era of AI – how will CPAs, estate planners, and wealth planners will coexist with the AI tools. One practical consideration advisors and families need to navigate is the increasingly divergent preferences between older-gen and rising-gen clients. Craig offers his tips on how professionals and clients can best manage the “generational tug of war” caused by their different values and preferences. Finally, Craig provides his and suggestions for UHNW clients on how best to interact with their CPA – especially given all the self-serve tools and AI solutions that are increasingly available in all professional services fields. Please enjoy this highly informative conversation with a leading expert and experienced UHNW advisor serving enterprise families.

Plus Should We Let AI Speak For The Dead?Like this? Get AIDAILY, delivered to your inbox 3x a week. Subscribe to our newsletter at https://aidailyus.substack.comDating Apps Out, AI Boyfriends InWriter Patricia Marx test-drives digital romance with Replika, Character.AI, and JanitorAI—chatbots that flirt, console, and glitch their way through “relationships.” Her experience shows the weird, funny, and sometimes sad truth of swapping real-world intimacy for algorithmic affection. I Hate My AI Friend (It's Creepy)A wearable pendant called “Friend” (think AirTag crossed with snarky AI) listens to your life and offers real-time commentary. Built using Gemini 2.5, it often feels abrasive and socially awkward—so much so that WIRED writers ditched it fast due to the cringe vibes and privacy creep. When AI Speaks for the Dead, Should We Listen?An AI-generated video resurrected a murder victim—voiced and scripted by his sister—to speak at sentencing. Patricia Williams warns this chilling blend of technology and emotion risks blurring truth with scripted performances, unsettling legal testimony, memory, and the sacred silence of loss.AI “Slop” Is Clogging Your BrainBrace yourself—your feed is drowning in “AI slop”: low-effort, repetitive content flooding TikTok, Facebook, and Insta for clicks and cash. It's addictive, shallow, and mind-numbing—turning us into scroll zombies while cheap bots cash in online. AI Has No Clue What It's Doing—And It's Threatening UsA Charles Darwin University study slams unregulated AI for eroding human dignity—pointing to privacy violations, bias, and lost autonomy hidden behind “black box” models. Dr. Maria Randazzo warns that without human-centered, global governance, AI risks reducing us to mere data points.AI Boom Leaves Consultants in the DustEven though consultants poured billions into AI hype, firms like Deloitte, PwC, McKinsey, and Bain are struggling to deliver real results. With client teams now being just as skilled—or better—many PoCs never scale, and businesses are increasingly going in-house or using freelancers. Candidates Don't Trust AI RecruitersA March 2025 Gartner survey found only 26% of job candidates trust AI to evaluate them fairly—even as over half suspect AI is screening their applications. Fears cluster around bias, lack of transparency, and being treated as data points, while concerns over “ghost jobs” fuel skepticism about the legitimacy of postings.Brain-Inspired Chips Are the Real AI DisruptorsTraditional CPUs/GPUs powering AI juggle power, heat, and lag—not ideal for real-time stuff like robots or self-driving cars. Neuromorphic chips mimic the brain's event-driven style, crunching data locally with tiny energy use, no cloud needed. CIO says they might eclipse quantum for making edge AI smarter and greener. 

I invited Laura Desmond, CEO of Smartly, to make sense of what feels like the biggest shake-up in marketing since the mobile era. She has led through every cycle I can remember, from the early internet to the rise of social, and she sees AI changing the rules faster than any previous wave. Across our conversation we unpack how AI is rewriting creative work, buying, and measurement, while forcing brands to rebuild trust with clear rules on data, models, and creator rights. Here's the thing. Attention is shorter, and the thumb moves fast. Most people give an ad about two seconds, and video is taking over the feed. Laura expects video to account for three quarters of digital ads by 2026, which tracks with what I am seeing across every platform. Smartly is betting on that shift with tools that turn Shorts or TikToks into personalized CTV spots, and bring CTV signal back into social. The goal is simple to say and hard to pull off. Show every person something that feels made for them, then learn from the response and improve the next piece of creative in near real time. We also talk about why the ground is moving under search. A growing number of people, especially younger users, skip the front page of Google and ask an AI assistant instead. That changes how discovery works, how queries appear, and where ad products live. Laura thinks we are heading toward campaigns that cut across search, social, retail media, and CTV as one flowing video-first effort, with creative and media stitched together by software rather than teams tossing files over the wall. Results matter, and Laura shared two proof points I kept coming back to. Smartly's platform has been validated by PwC for a 13 percent ROI lift across clients. The same study confirmed time savings that add up to 42 minutes a day for hands-on users. That reclaimed time funds the work that actually moves the needle, like faster A/B tests, sharper creative decisions, and better budget moves across channels. We also dig into conversational ads. In a recent test with Boots, Smartly's format delivered roughly four times the return on investment versus business as usual, which speaks to how fast query-style interactions are shaping expectations. Trust sits in the middle of all this. Laura is clear that responsible AI is table stakes. Brands need controls to tune or override generated assets, clarity on data sources and model choice, and a stance on creator rights before any content goes live. Her view of AI is creative first. Automate the tedious parts. Keep people in charge of taste, tone, and brand. Use the feedback loop to learn faster, not to replace the team. We close on where this all leads. Expect brand experiences that blur physical and digital without losing the human spark. Stadiums full, stores buzzing, and at the same time richer virtual touchpoints, snackable video, and one-to-one conversations that feel helpful rather than creepy. If this is your world, Laura is hosting Smartly's ADVANCE on September 17 in Brooklyn, and it looks set to be a real working session for marketers who want results, not theater. You can find details here: https://bit.ly/4fRgWEE. Tune in if you want a candid, practical map for where creative, media, and AI are heading next, and how to measure what matters while keeping your brand worthy of trust. ********* Visit the Sponsor of Tech Talks Network: Land your first job  in tech in 6 months as a Software QA Engineering Bootcamp with Careerist https://crst.co/OGCLA

Het Amerikaanse Ministerie van Justitie was er vorig jaar nog zó blij mee. Rechter Amit Mehta bestempelde Google tot monopolie. Maar alle maatregelen die het Ministerie voorstelde om daar wat aan te doen, kunnen weer de prullenbak in. Dat zegt dezelfde rechter Mehta. Het dochterbedrijf van Alphabet mag webbrowser Chrome houden en het mag Apple blijven betalen om zijn zoekmachine voorrang te geven in je iPhone. Toch komt Google niet helemaal met de schrik vrij. Het moet verplicht data over de zoekmachine delen met concurrenten, waaronder OpenAI, het bedrijf dat dit jaar al marktaandeel weg zat te snoepen van de monopolist op de markt. We bespreken of de rechter zo toch het monopolie geweld aan weet te doen. Verder praten we over iets onbegrijpelijks waar we het in beursprogramma's maar zelden over hebben: de obligatiemarkten. Beleggers dumpten wereldwijd staatsobligaties omdat ze er niet langer op vertrouwen dat de overheden van Japan, het VK, Duitsland, Frankrijk én de VS het huishoudboekje op orde hebben. En dan mogen we het cliché van stal halen, want gedumpte obligaties betekenen lagere obligatieprijzen en dus hogere effectieve rentes. Waarna overheden meer betalen om te lenen. Je hoort wat dat betekent voor beurzen wereldwijd. Het gaat over Aegon, dat steeds Amerikaanser wordt. De financiële reus en verzekeraar kreeg aandelen van ASR in ruil voor het verkopen van zijn Nederlandse activiteiten, maar doet nu ook die aandelen van ASR van de hand. ASR staat op zijn beurt klaar om die weer in te kopen. En we vertellen je over een volgend bedrijf dat in Amsterdam naar de beurs wil. Een kleine déjà vu van twee weken geleden, want het gaat alweer om een Bitcoin Treasury. Dat wil met geld van aandeelhouders Bitcoin kopen. Deze keer is het wel een wat grotere partij, met steun van een nogal bekende tweeling in de financiële wereld. Laten we zeggen dat ze allebei geen Facebook-profiel hebben...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The technological revolution of artificial intelligence isn't just changing how businesses operate—it's transforming how they're governed. In this riveting conversation, we're joined by Dean Yoost, former senior partner at PWC, and Ashwin Rangan, CEO of DoubleCheck, to explore their groundbreaking book "Governance in the Age of AI: A Director's Handbook."Our guests challenge popular misconceptions about artificial intelligence, arguing that what we call "AI" isn't truly intelligent but rather a sophisticated mathematical prediction engine. This distinction has profound implications for corporate leadership. As Rangan explains, these systems lack the ethical discernment and value judgment capabilities that humans bring to decision-making—a critical limitation that board directors must understand.The business landscape is rapidly evolving under AI's influence. According to research cited, approximately half of middle management positions may disappear or be fundamentally redefined by 2028. This raises urgent questions: Who bears responsibility when AI-informed decisions go wrong? How will corporate hierarchies adapt? What skills will remain uniquely valuable for humans?Both experts emphasize that tomorrow's leaders need a deeper technological understanding than previous generations required. "The technology and strategy discussions are now the same," Hust observes. "You can't be an effective board member without having more than passive knowledge of what's happening in the technology world." Yet they equally stress the enduring importance of wisdom, justice, courage, and moderation—classical virtues that machines cannot replicate.For educators, parents, and aspiring business leaders, this conversation offers crucial guidance on preparing for an AI-transformed future. Rather than focusing solely on technical skills, our guests advocate for revitalizing broader discussions of ethics, critical thinking, and human values. As technology increasingly answers "can we do this?" questions, humans must focus on the "should we do this?" considerations that require judgment and ethical reasoning.Join us for this thought-provoking exploration of how organizations can thoughtfully integrate AI while preserving and enhancing what makes us distinctly human.

Have you been told you 'need to be more strategic' but don't really know what that means, or how to deliver it?My guest today is Chris Lamb, an accomplished Chief People Officer and board director. He has worked at the most senior levels in the public and private sectors in Asia Pacific, European and global roles.  In this episode, Chris explains:How to make the shift from operational deliverer to strategic leaderWhat stops people from becoming more strategicThe critical value of getting a breadth of experiences in your career Overcoming any doubts you might have about stepping up and becoming more strategicAnd how developing your strategic acumen can start boosting the opportunities you enjoy professionallySomething Chris said:"[When you start thinking more strategically...] Firstly, you get out of the mindset of just what's happening in your team and area. You start to think instead about how your team impacts the whole organisation. Secondly, you start to think about the challenges other parts of the business are experiencing, irrespective of whether or not you have any direct contact or influence over them."  (Chris Lamb, guest - Her Ambitious Career Podcast)Links:Need a speaker for your next Women in Leadership event?

Listen in for a masterclass in courage: not the absence of fear, but the refusal to let fear run the show. Mark Friedlich grew up in a tenement apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the son of Holocaust survivors, sharing a bedroom and living with scarcity. Today, he speaks on global stages, testifies before Congress, and serves as Vice President of Government Affairs at a multinational corporation. He also stutters, sometimes noticeably, always unapologetically. In this raw, powerful conversation, Mark shares how he built a career at the highest levels of leadership without ever hiding his voice. He doesn't minimize his fear. He prepares. He shows up. He speaks anyway. If you've ever feared speaking up in a meeting, on a stage, or in a tough conversation, this episode will change how you see fear, confidence, and what it really means to own your voice. In this episode on how to own your voice in high-stakes situations, you'll discover: Why Mark never saw stuttering as an impediment, and what that mindset unlocked for him; The difference between fear that stops us and fear that sharpens us; How to own your voice in high-stakes situations, even if you stutter; How to respond with strength and grace when other people give you “the look”; How preparation, mindset, and choosing discomfort can be antidotes to holding back; Mark's memorable conversation with President Bill Clinton; And more.

From testifying before Congress to mentoring young professionals who stutter, Mark demonstrates that authentic leadership means owning every part of yourself. Preparation is everything. Authenticity is non-negotiable. Every fear presents an opportunity. QUOTES “Put yourself in uncomfortable situations because that's the only way one will grow” - Mark Friedlich “We can't control most situations. The only thing we are able to control is how we react.” - Mark Friedlich “Whether you think you have a speech impediment or you don't think you have a speech impediment, you're right.” - Uri Schneider ABOUT THE HOST Uri Schneider, M.A. CCC -SLP is co-founder and leader at Schneider Speech; creator and host of Transcending Stuttering; and former faculty at the University of California, Riverside School of Medicine.

n this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Mohib Yousufani, a senior partner at PwC who leads growth, turnaround, and digital transformation initiatives for Fortune 500 companies. Mohib brings a sharp focus on value creation, helping business leaders move beyond technology hype to deliver measurable outcomes through thoughtful digital strategies. Our conversation begins with a hard truth: many companies are confusing technology adoption with business outcomes. Mohib shares how organizations often rush to embrace the latest AI trends or automation tools without first identifying the core problems they need to solve. That misalignment, he explains, is why many digital transformation efforts stall or fail to scale beyond pilot mode. Mohib breaks down PwC's approach to digital transformation, which begins by translating enterprise ambition into actionable plans. We explore how aligning business unit goals, operating models, and leadership behavior is critical to successful implementation. He also offers a candid view of why so many projects suffer from process debt and legacy friction, often ignoring the people and culture dynamics that are central to lasting change. One of the most powerful parts of our discussion centers on how to evaluate ROI. Instead of focusing solely on cost savings, Mohib suggests expanding the lens to include revenue growth, time to market, risk mitigation, and strategic agility. He shares a compelling success story involving a CPG company that used AI and data science to optimize trade promotions and pricing, resulting in a three percent revenue lift and two percent margin expansion. We also talk about leadership's role in setting the tone. Culture, Mohib emphasizes, acts as a multiplier. Without executive alignment and clear behavioral modeling, even the most sophisticated tools won't deliver the promised value. If your organization is rethinking digital strategy, this episode is packed with insights to help you move from experimentation to real business impact. Are you building digital solutions that scale beyond buzzwords?

Most investors are waiting for the real estate market to “recover”... But what if the dealmakers who've done billions already see signs of opportunity right now?
