Public Companies, Faith, and Fatherhood | Rob LoCascio

Show Notes

In this episode of The Girl Dad Show, Young Han sits down with Rob LoCascio, founder of LivePerson and now Uare.ai, to unpack building AI that serves people instead of replacing them, surviving the failures that come with three decades of running a company, and raising kids who can stand on their own. Rob traces his path from founding LivePerson and taking it public on NASDAQ, through nearly thirty years as its CEO, to launching Uare.ai and KID Company — ventures built on the idea that an AI model should be trained on a real person's life story rather than the whole internet. He shares what the hardest stretches actually taught him, why he thinks human-centered AI is the only version worth building, and how he learned to treat constant change as the operating condition rather than the disruption.

The conversation also gets personal. Rob is direct about putting God at the center of his life and how that reframes decisions that used to feel like his alone to carry. He talks about relocating his family to Silicon Valley, the values he's tried to hand his kids, and why he sees his job as a parent as uplifting their independence rather than managing it. Expect a grounded read on where personal AI is actually headed, a usable way to think about resilience after something you built doesn't work, and a reminder that family and faith tend to outlast whatever's on the calendar.
