In this Thanksgiving week episode, Agnes and Ryan talk about what they are grateful for, why change in life and marriage is inevitable and worth supporting, and how AI changed their work this year. Agnes shares a large tax settlement for a client, and the episode closes with Black Friday memories and an argument for shopping at local independent businesses on Small Business Saturday.
Takeaways
- Marriages and partnerships last when both people support each other's growth, since everyone changes over the years.
- Learning to use AI tools is a skill like any other, and the hosts see people who do not learn it falling behind.
- Shopping at local independent businesses keeps more money and sales tax in your own town than buying from big chains.
