Taylor Swift, Law Firm Automation, & Emmy-Winning Voiceover (Feat. Daleele Alison & Michelle Falanga)

First, Jared shares his monologue on Taylor Swift's 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. He breaks down why he's a "True Swifty," critiques the Jack Antonoff production, and presents his complete Top 12 Track Ranking—from his least favorite song about the Blake Lively drama to his #1 pick, the title track.

Then, Daleele Alison, CEO of Rooks DM, joins the show. Daleele explains his company's goal ("to go far") and how they help law firms tackle pain points like onboarding and data collection by implementing AI and automation. He stresses his "process first, technology second" philosophy and gives a rundown of the Microsoft Power Platform tools (Power BI, Power Automate) that firms underutilize.

Finally, Michelle Falanga, an Emmy-winning voiceover actress, shares her unique career path, which involved 23 years of improv and murder mystery shows. Michelle discusses her favorite niche projects (like narrating Drum Corps world championships), her thoughts on AI voice cloning, and the emotional "gut punch" of having clients replace her with AI.
