88% of moms handle all gift planning in their households, tracking birthdays, researching ideas, and managing delivery schedules across 10 to 20 occasions annually. Rose Arendarczyk experienced this firsthand as a consultant leading multimillion-dollar transformations while struggling to remember her brother's tournaments and her nephew's graduations. In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Rose, founder and CEO of GiftEase, about building an AI platform that starts with understanding people instead of pushing products. Rose explains how GiftEase captures three dimensions: who you're gifting for and their unique preferences, your specific relationship with them, and how you want to show up as a giver. The platform remembers conversations, builds gift boards that evolve over time, and surfaces curated ideas before you're scrambling at the last minute. Rose shares early user stories, her vision for voice-enabled gift notes, and why focusing on relationships over transactions helps reduce the billions in unwanted gifts exchanged each holiday season.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
