A lot of people talk about AI as if it's replacing jobs. Jason Plotkin sees it differently.

In this Around Town clip, Jason Plotkin, CEO and managing attorney of Pinder Plotkin Legal Team, explains why AI should be viewed as another set of tools that helps teams work more efficiently, serve clients better, and reduce unnecessary stress.

Just as businesses adopted tools like Microsoft Office to improve productivity, AI can help organizations streamline routine tasks and allow people to focus on higher-value work.

Many business owners spend years building their company but never create a plan for what happens when they eventually step away.

In this Around Town clip, Jason Plotkin, CEO and managing attorney of Pinder Plotkin Legal Team, sits down with Peter G. Daniels of PDC Group to discuss why exit planning is about more than selling a business — it's about protecting your family, your employees, your legacy, and everything you've worked hard to build.

One of the most powerful takeaways: you don't buy insurance after an accident happens. The same principle applies to business planning.
