In this episode, Alicia and George dive into two conversations that stopped them in their tracks:

  • AI & Privacy: Did you know ChatGPT conversations briefly showed up on Google search results? We unpack what that means for your data, why privacy settings matter, and how people are (mis)using AI as therapists, lawyers, and business consultants.
  • Life After the Exit: Everyone talks about how to position your company for sale—but nobody talks about what happens after. From identity shifts to lifestyle creep, George and Alicia get candid about what founders (and their spouses) should prepare for when the exit day finally comes.
  • The Billion-Dollar Doodle Boom: On a lighter note, meet Fitzgerald Graham, the newest addition to the McKenzie family. His arrival sparks a hilarious detour into the surprising economics of doodles, dog TikToks, and why Alicia is ready to launch her pup’s influencer career.

This episode is equal parts sarcasm, humor, and perspective—from AI glitches to puppy culture to navigating the emotional rollercoaster of selling a business while staying grounded in family.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
