Then Melissa in New Mexico wonders how to respond to diminishing returns on digital advertising for her grief care packages.

Plus, Miguel reflects on his WeWork experience and the similarities he sees in today’s AI-dominated tech industry. Miguel’s latest venture, Unbound, seeks to disrupt healthcare in the United Kingdom.
