Show Notes

Allie’s dad, Ron hops on the show to answer questions and provide practical wisdom from the perspective of a former State representative, husband, father, and grandfather. Ron talks about AI, its rapid growth and the need of implementing a “pause” in innovation to give policies and politicians time to catch up with technology. Ron disagrees with Trump's statement that fears regarding AI and data centers are a hoax, citing politicians from both sides of the aisle who agree that guardrails need to be put in place. He gives advice for day to day life in response to questions regarding marriage and parenting and concludes by looking at the affordability crisis and provides clarity about Trump’s dividend.
