How phones and VR opened doors to AI

I sit down with Sandra Abrams, lifelong learner turned Web3 guide and founder of Onboard60, who is helping adults 50+ navigate AI, blockchain, VR, and health tech with calm, practical clarity.

Sandra’s story is powerful. Just a few years ago she was learning how to copy and paste. Today, she’s guiding seniors through AI tools, crypto literacy, virtual reality, and digital safety so they can stay independent and connected in a rapidly changing world.

In this conversation, we unpack what it really means to “bring our elders with us” into the AI era. We talk about fear, scams, financial literacy, telehealth, and how something as simple as five minutes a day with the right tools can completely shift someone’s confidence.

This episode is less about hype and more about dignity, autonomy, and inclusion.
