A recent Gartner survey found that nearly two-thirds of customers prefer that companies don't use AI for customer service. Related storiesEven setting aside the cost savings for companies, there are clear reasons that AI should be a good fit for customer service.

AdvertisementJose Palafox used a DST 1031 exchange to defer taxes on his Portland rental sale. In the summer of 2024, Jose Palafox took advantage of a little-known tax strategy called a DST 1031 exchange, which allows investors to avoid capital gains tax on the sale of a rental property. Palafox was ready to sell his Portland rental, which had become more of a headache than a cash cow. Executing a DST 1031 exchange, in which you sell a property and reinvest the proceeds into a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST), not only allowed him to defer capital gains tax — it also released him from landlord responsibilities. To do a DST 1031 exchange, you have to be what's called an accredited investor.

"Wicked" stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande have recently made headlines not only around the movie's release, but also their emotional press tour. In a recent interview, Out reporter Tracy E. Gilchrist tells the two actresses that "people are taking the lyrics of 'Defying Gravity' and really holding space with that, and feeling power in that." That's really powerful. Holding space is "core therapy concept," says Lisa Marie Bobby, a relationship psychologist and founder of Growing Self Counseling & Coaching in Denver. "It means creating a safe, compassionate environment where someone can feel seen, heard, and understood without judgment or interruption," she says.

When measuring their happiness afterwards, she found that those with a vacation mindset showed more satisfaction and positivity when they returned to work. However, Holmes warns that there is one caveat to the vacation mindset.
