AI, Storytelling, and What Two Blown Knees Taught Him | Raphael Rajan | Episode 230

In this episode of The Girl Dad Show, Young Han sits down with Raphael Rajan, co-founder of EZee Assist, an AI platform built for franchising, to unpack the path from industrial engineering to strategy consulting to founding a company, why franchising turned out to be the right problem to go after, and how the first customers came in. Raphael explains what the product actually does giving franchisees and support teams immediate answers and coaching insight instead of leaving them to hunt through documentation and where he thinks AI is heading in work and education.

The conversation also gets personal. Raphael parents by asking rather than telling, and he's thought hard about what that does for a kid's confidence including how to handle the questions six-year-olds ask about things like the tooth fairy. He talks about raising twins across three cultures, why he believes storytelling is the one skill AI won't take, and what a serious injury this year taught him about being present when you physically can't do what you normally would. Expect a clear read on where AI actually helps, a useful frame for building confidence and curiosity in kids, and an honest account of what happens when independence is taken away from you.
