What do AI, Mark Cuban, and Milli Vanilli have in common? More than you'd think.

In this episode of The Platinum Business Break, host Dan P. Owens unpacks Cuban’s bold prediction that face-to-face communication will become a premium skill in the age of AI—and connects it directly to what’s happening in the building products industry.

✅ Why AI is helpful—but not enough
✅ What Milli Vanilli taught us about authenticity
