So what is a theological ethicist? Who, who is that? What's your role?

Well, first, Joy, thank you for having me.

I'm excited to be with you today to talk about this really important topic.

So, you know, yeah, as you said, I'm a theological ethicist.

I also teach at Boston College, and a theological ethicist looks at goodness and rightness in light of, of theology.

When we think about this in terms of healthcare, you know, I'm a Catholic theological ethicist, as, as our listening audience knows.

Catholic healthcare is, is throughout the world but, you know, a lot of it here in the United States.

In a field where folks are called to care for others, how should leaders think about balancing the efficiencies that they can gain from AI with compassion and responsibility?

Un-

And all during my, uh, my automotive career, I kept asking all of our, our high-end clients, "What line of work are you in? What do you do?" And 99% of them it was real estate, real estate, real estate, you know? And I always talked myself out of getting into the real estate game.

I always thought I didn't have enough money.

I always thought I didn't know enough about it.

You know, a lot of people in the real estate game, their parents were in real estate, their grandparents were in real estate, aunts and uncles.

Um, that wasn't the case for me.

So the real estate bug really started itching me in 2022.

Hmm.

Do you recommend that before or after training sort of other different types that you would recommend to someone before they're getting in swimming? What's your sort of thoughts on that?

I'm a big believer in assessing mobility and range of motion and making a decision whether or not you need to stretch at all.

So first and foremost, from a functional standpoint, your body should do certain things regardless of who you are.

There's even a little difference in age and gender to some degree.

I mean, we want to take those into consideration, but you should be able to lift your arms up overhead 180 degrees and get into a good streamline and get into a good overhead position.

And if you can't, there might be mobility strategies to get you there.

Sometimes it's strength training strategies.

How can you help someone progression to get to that point?

How did you get into that? What was the light bulb moment there?

So I've always been investing for years into the stock market.

But I always had a majority of my money under the mattress, you know? That was kind of mentality from when I grew up, is put it under the mattress, keep it safe for a rainy day.

And, uh, I did that for a long time, way too long actually, um, because it's not really a great idea to have all of your money sitting under the mattress losing basically seven percent per year with inflation.

I never even understood that concept, right? Which is, what do you mean I'm losing seven percent? Well, it's not worth the same anymore.

And a simple analogy is where my dad says, "Oh, I remember when a candy bar used to cost me a nickel." All right, if you save that nickel, what's it worth today? Like, almost zero.

So everything gets more expensive, and your money becomes worth less.

What does that mean?
