Welcome to a Power Series episode of How I AI — a special format where I feature two or more shorter conversations, highlighting real people using AI in unique ways across different industries. If you’re curious about how AI is quietly transforming traditional industries and how people with deep domain expertise are guiding that shift than this episode is for you.

This episode spotlights two powerful use cases for AI in financial advisory and funeral services, featuring real-world insights from Daniel Yoo and Walker Posey.
