In this episode of _Right About Now,_ Ryan Alford sits down with Lily Vittayarukskul, founder of Waterlily, to unpack one of the biggest financial blind spots facing families today: the true cost of aging and long-term care.
Lily shares how her company is using AI and real-world data to predict individual aging trajectories—revealing not just _if_ you’ll need care, but when, how long, and how much it could cost. In many cases, that number reaches into the millions, creating a massive gap in traditional financial planning.
The conversation also dives into the future of AI, wealth disparity, and why understanding how to make money—and protect it—has never been more critical. Ryan and Lily explore how entrepreneurs and operators can stay ahead of massive technological shifts while maintaining control over their time and financial future.
If you’re a business owner, operator, or simply thinking about long-term wealth, this episode will challenge how you plan, invest, and prepare for what’s coming.
