In this episode, I sit down with Miles Spencer, founder of Reflekta, to explore one of the most complex intersections of technology and humanity: AI-driven remembrance of loved ones.

Miles explains how Reflekta uses artificial intelligence to preserve a person’s voice, stories, and personality, not through generic internet data, but through family-owned inputs, strict data parameters, and intentional safeguards. Every interaction is built from recordings and memories provided by those closest to the individual, ensuring authenticity and respect.

We also discuss the grief process, the ethical considerations surrounding AI memorialization, and the multidisciplinary team Miles has assembled to ensure Reflekta supports healing rather than replacing it. This is a thoughtful, nuanced conversation about loss, memory, and how technology may help people remember without exploiting grief.

In this episode, I sit down with Kaedy Molley of the Warrior-Scholar Project (WSP). This national nonprofit helps enlisted veterans transition from military service to success at America’s top universities, including Ivy League schools.

Kaedy shares her journey from serving as a U.S. Navy Arabic Cryptologic Linguist to mentoring and empowering fellow veterans through organizations like WSP, Student Veterans of America, Next Step Inbound, and the Ivy League Veterans Council.

We discuss how the Warrior-Scholar Project’s immersive academic bootcamps equip veterans with the tools, confidence, and community they need to thrive in higher education. Kaedy also sheds light on the challenges many veterans face when navigating academia and how WSP bridges the gap between service and scholarship.

This conversation is an inspiring look at what happens when veterans are given the opportunity, mentorship, and belief they need to reach their full potential.

In this episode, I sit down with Todd Strader, founder of OverPressured.com, to discuss the long-term effects of blast overpressure on service members and what’s being done to address them. Todd explains his mission to implement a Blast Safety Officer program, ensuring that data from blast gauges is recorded and added to service members’ medical records, a critical step toward recognizing and treating post-service brain and neurological injuries.

We also tackle the hard truths about the veteran suicide crisis, how it’s become an industry for some organizations more focused on profit than prevention, and what it really takes to fix the system from within.

This episode pulls no punches and illuminates a problem most people have never heard of, but every veteran deserves to understand.
