The following conversation was recorded on April 30th as a preview to Philly Tech Week. For more info on Siah Labs and the events of Philly Tech Week, check out the links below.

Siah Labs co-founders / husband-and-wife team Jordan and Deanna Blackwell are in a crowded space--AI-centered agency serving small business.

But the Siah framework focuses less on growth and instead talks about things like succession and enjoyment, and the promise that they can help founder-led businesses run without without the founder.

It is this framework, the Blackwells say, that will help founders prepare for the "Great Wealth Transfer" or "Silver Tsunami"--the predicted economic tumult when Baby-Boomers slowly exit the workforce and their businesses have not been future-proofed.

Jordan will provide more detail from the stage at Philly Tech Week on May 5th, when he hosts a talk on the Great Wealth Transfer, the role of AI and why cities like Philadelphia will play a big role in what the future holds.

In this 44-minute conversation, we dig into this topic, as well as the dynamics of working with your spouse, protecting against AI volatility, building trust in technology and more. Check it out!
