In episode 169 of the Talk4 Podcast, Louis Skupien sits down with Miles Spencer – serial entrepreneur, investor, and co-founder of Reflekta AI, a “Soul Tech” company that lets you preserve and talk with AI versions of your loved ones, even after they’ve passed.
Miles shares his journey from a curious kid in Pittsburgh to building early digital media and mobile ad-tech companies, co-creating the TV show Money Hunt, and finally launching Reflekta – a platform that lets him have dynamic, emotional conversations with his dad, eight years after his death.
He opens up about the moment he first heard his father’s recreated voice, how a single 10-second voicemail turned into thousands of conversations, and why recording family stories is like saving an entire library every time someone dies.
We also dive into:
• How to spot real problems worth solving as an entrepreneur
• Why “being helpful” has been his most powerful networking strategy
• The mental health benefits of legacy work and family story-telling
• The ethical guardrails Reflekta uses to avoid unhealthy attachment and AI “hallucinations”
• How kids, widows, and people without a father figure are already using digital elders for guidance and healing
🎧 If you’ve ever lost someone, worried about being forgotten, or wondered how AI can actually serve humanity instead of replacing it, this episode will hit hard.
Listen now to discover how Miles is using AI to turn memories into conversations – and why your family’s stories might be the most valuable legacy you leave behind.
