Long-form interviews and conversations with tech, AI, and finance leaders (30min+)
Jordan Peterson explains why personal transformation requires enduring a terrifying collapse of identity and past narratives, using the Exodus story as an archetype, while detailing how the personality trait of conscientiousness drives success but becomes pathological when pushed to extremes without situational wisdom.
Marc Rowan, CEO of Apollo Global Management, argues that extreme concentration in public markets has made private markets essential for diversification, detailing how Apollo evolved from a Drexel offshoot into a $1 trillion retirement services giant bridging the gap between infrastructure borrowers and income-seeking retirees.
Husband and wife filmmakers Mark Duplass and Katie Aselton challenge codependency's negative stigma, arguing their nearly 20-year marriage demonstrates how intentional interdependence creates stability and creative fuel rather than pathology.
Satish delivers a technical masterclass tracing AI's evolution from classical statistical models to modern reasoning agents, explaining how Large Language Models function as massive linear equations with billions of parameters and why the shift to AI-driven orchestration threatens traditional software engineering roles.
On the 250th anniversary of "The Wealth of Nations," economists Peter Boettke and Chris Coyne argue that Adam Smith remains essential reading because his institutional framework for understanding prosperity contains evolutionary potential absent from modern textbooks, even as both libertarian defenders and progressive critics frequently misrepresent his nuanced views on markets and social constraints.
Despite recent price pullbacks and volatility, Andy Schectman argues gold and silver remain in a structural bull market driven by unprecedented physical migration from West to East, surging sovereign accumulation, and decaying trust in Western paper markets.
Jay Pelosky warns that the U.S. equity market's multi-year premium over global markets is set to dissipate as a $10-16 trillion global spending super cycle on AI, climate, and defense drives a secular leadership shift toward emerging markets and commodities, rendering the traditional 60/40 portfolio obsolete.
Porter Stansberry predicts a historic monetary reset by 2029 driven by Social Security insolvency, arguing that Bitcoin's fair value is $134,000 and that measuring wealth in gold reveals decades of hidden economic decline since the 2000 peak.
Alex Cheema from EXO Labs argues that AI should function as a local 'exocortex' rather than rented cloud infrastructure, detailing why inference optimization (not training) is the key bottleneck and how exponential improvements in 'intelligence per joule' will make consumer-grade frontier AI feasible within years.
Brian Paes-Braga argues the U.S. faces a generational reckoning after decades of underinvestment in mining left it dangerously dependent on China for critical minerals, requiring hundreds of billions in capital and a fundamental shift toward domestic and allied supply chains to achieve mineral independence.
Jordan Peterson examines disgust as an evolutionary mechanism for pathogen avoidance that extends into moral judgment and political conservatism, then connects these biological realities to existentialist philosophy, arguing that truth is defined by embodied action rather than description and that immorality consists of self-deceptive behavioral patterns that inevitably produce suffering.
Benjamin Todd argues that while AI may automate R&D within 2-3 years (creating an 'intelligence explosion'), most people should optimize for medium-term career strategies that balance urgency against the compounding value of career capital, which can increase one's future impact by 10-100x compared to acting immediately.
