#94: AI 双面圆桌派 02 ~ AI 时代的理财之道
你有没有试过,让 AI 帮你解释 ETF、看一只股票、算退休,或者判断该不该提前还房贷?
它说得很快。
也很像那么回事。
但理财最难的,常常不是看懂一个产品。
而是看清自己的约束:收入、家庭、税务、房贷、风险承受力,还有你晚上能不能睡得着。
这一场,我们继续用「AI 双面圆桌派」的方式,聊 AI + 理财。
我们会聊几个普通人真的会遇到的问题:
* AI 能帮我们省下哪些查资料、做比较、读文件的时间?
* 为什么同样收入、同样资产的两个家庭,答案可能完全不同?
* AI 给出的投资观点,普通人可以怎么验证,而不是直接相信?
* 金融平台越来越智能之后,效率、推荐和用户保护之间怎么平衡?
* 当金融骗局从群发话术变成个性化关系,我们该如何提高警觉?
这不是一场投资课。
也不会给个股推荐。
我们更想聊的是:
AI 可以帮我们更快看懂信息,但它不能替我们承担后果。

Volleyball Foundations 3 — Build Skills & Confidence | May 24-June 21 (15+)
**Volleyball Foundations 3 — Connect Your Skills & Play with Confidence (15+)**
Ready to move beyond isolated skills and start playing with flow and purpose? Volleyball Foundations 3 is designed for players who are ready to connect their techniques and develop real game awareness in a team setting.
In this progressive clinic, you’ll focus on integrating your skills into live, rally-based play:

• **Defense:** Improve footwork, positioning, and overall court coverage
• **Attacking:** Learn the 3-step approach and develop controlled, effective hits over the net
You’ll also begin to understand the rhythm of the game through continuous play. Sessions emphasize “wash drills” and extended rallies, helping you stay engaged, make decisions under pressure, and build confidence during longer points.
Players will be introduced to the **6-Up defensive system** and develop strong on-court communication skills to navigate fast-paced, unpredictable situations.
***

• Players who have completed Volleyball Foundations 2 or have a strong base in passing, setting, and serving

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose**
Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap.
Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn:
* Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge
* How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change
* Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction
* How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools
This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work.
**About Our Speaker**
[Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.
