On Let’s Talk Tech, Uprise Partners' CEO Malinda Gagnon sat down with Brian Yocono on NEWS CENTER Maine to explore how AI and technology are transforming the way we work, and why it’s crucial to identify your business needs before choosing the tools.

Understand why security, access, and permissions need to be planned for and set up correctly from the start. And AI? It’s your superpower—if used intentionally. Ask yourself, how can AI help me move faster, deliver more value, and be more effective? And learn why tech is just the start. People, process, and policy are what make it powerful.
