How do you explain dementia to a child? In this episode of Work Well Live Well, Dave sits down with Aimee Owens, a teacher and mum who watched her dad live with dementia. Her family kept him at the heart of it all, with Irish music in the house, the girls playing the harp for him and plenty of singing. Aimee talks about the stigma and the shame many older people still feel around dementia. She explains why we need to learn to age better, and how one simple thing helped her children understand what was happening to their grandad. She also shares the story behind her new children’s book. It’s about the special bond between a grandparent and a grandchild, and about love, kindness and being in the moment together. If dementia has touched your family, or you’re wondering how to talk to your kids about it, this one is for you. Listen now. #WorkWellLiveWell #Dementia #Alzheimers #IrishPodcast #AgeingWell
What if the cameras protecting your home or business were actually exposing you? Bernard Pender, co-founder of premium security company UC and the reforestation project Cloud Forest, reveals what most people never get told about CCTV. Bernard shares how a cheap recorder his team inherited was being pinged hundreds of times a day from Russia, why 99% of installers quote the same budget cameras, and how AI "freeform search" now lets cameras index everything from your clothes to whether you're on your phone. He also explains why AI agents will soon be phoning managers when staff slack off. On the business side, he breaks down how he and his best mate Dave grew from €57K in year one to €1.3M, without spending a cent on marketing, by obsessing over delivery, training and word of mouth. Plus: the 25-hour work week built on "work-life harmony," and the Covid-era idea that became Cloud Forest, planting native Irish woodland on the west coast.
