Beyond death: talking with a loved one. Legacy work with AI technologies

In this episode of the Modern Couples Podcast, I sit down with Miles Spencer — serial entrepreneur, father, and founder of Reflector AI, a soul-tech company that makes it possible to create digital memories and interactive “elder avatars” of our loved ones. aka. Talking with the dead (note: it's clearly AI and not the dead)

What moved me most to watch my own inner monologue during the conversation move from skepticism and creepiness to opportunity and a sincere opportunity for shifting our societies' mindset to legacy awareness and building - which got lost for so many in modern times.

We talk about:

How love and entrepreneurship shape and challenge each other.

What it means to stop pouring love and energy into a “leaky bucket” and start redirecting it.

How technology can enable not just memory, but connection and healing.

The opportunities and limits: how much contact with 'the dead' (note: it's clearly AI and not the dead) is healthy, and what skills we need to navigate it.

Why legacy is more than asset wealth — and how we can consciously document for future generations.

For me, this conversation was inspiring and challenging at the same time. It invites us to think beyond our own “relationship code” — across generations, and even across the boundaries of life and death.

Which is a skill of the future And after this conversation I am convinced with discernment and awareness, this technological advancement is something I might give a try!
