Jason discusses his transition from a nomadic lifestyle back to homeownership, reflecting on how capitalism efficiently provides global resources. His conversation with Michael Zuber shifts to the impact of artificial intelligence, which Hartman views as a long-term wealth creator despite its potential to cause short-term job displacement and widen the wealth gap. He predicts that while high-tech hubs like Silicon Valley may face local real estate risks due to AI-driven layoffs, the broader housing market remains a strong investment. Jason highlights a significant supply-demand imbalance, noting that the U.S. population has grown by millions since the 2008 recession while housing inventory has plummeted. Ultimately, Jason and Michael suggest that investors can find major opportunities by providing rental housing to a growing population in an increasingly digital economy. https://empoweredinvestorlive.com/ https://onerentalatatime.com/ #AIWealthCreator #JobDisruption #MoonbaseX #HousingInventory #WealthGap #CapitalismEfficiency #RealEstateInvesting #MinimalistNomad #TechMarketRisk #EmpoweredInvestor Key Takeaways: 0:00 The richest homeless man in the world 6:27 Artificial Intelligence and the wealth gap 14:57 Real estate and the short term pains vs. the long term gains 17:58 Chart: US population vs. Inventory and the Great Opportunity Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

In this episode of One Vision — FinTech Fuse podcast, Theodora Lau and Jas Randhawa discuss the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) and implications for agentic commerce. They explore the challenges of chargebacks, the need for regulatory clarity, and the importance of consumer independence in the evolving landscape of e-commerce. While adoption is likely to grow, major risks include consumer manipulation, monopolistic outcomes, and the amount of personal data agents may require (buying, browsing, health, and other patterns), increasing privacy and security concerns. Now is the time to engage with policymakers and advocate for regulatory clarity and for the well-being of consumers. 00:00 Welcome Back to One Vision + Introducing Jas Randhawa (StrategyBRIX)01:10 What Is the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP)?

For this agent to be really effective, it just needs to know everything that's in my head, right? It's gonna be very effective, but that's again, a major risk because no one's watching out for the consumer.”Hot take: “ The future of this world is unfortunately not you or me. It's a lot of these younger kids, their ecosystem is a lot different. These products are being designed for them.”More about our guest

Mastering Authentic Storytelling in the Age of AI: Insights from Aleya HarrisIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Aleya Harris, the strategic storytelling consultant and powerhouse founder behind Aleya Harris, to discuss the evolving landscape of brand authority. As artificial intelligence becomes a standard for content creation, Aleya argues that the "human element"—the raw, lived experiences we often hesitate to share—is the only remaining competitive advantage for leaders and speakers. Their conversation explores how to bridge the gap between digital efficiency and emotional resonance, offering a masterclass in using narrative not just for entertainment, but as a strategic tool for deep audience transformation.Bridging the Gap: Human Experience and Strategic NarrativeThe rise of generative AI has flooded the market with polished, yet often soulless, content, creating a unique opportunity for leaders who are willing to be radically authentic. Aleya explains that the most powerful stories are often the ones we are most afraid to tell; these are the narratives that forge genuine trust because they reveal the vulnerability and resilience that machines simply cannot replicate. However, authenticity without strategy is merely oversharing. To be effective, a story must be shaped into a "controlling idea" that serves the audience's needs, transforming personal adversity into a roadmap for the listener's own success. By focusing on the intersection of personal truth and audience pain points, speakers can command attention in a way that automated scripts never will.Achieving this balance requires a disciplined approach to storytelling, moving through stages of self-reflection, structural clarity, and intentional delivery. Aleya advocates for "living first and telling second," suggesting that the best brand narratives are mined from actual pivotal moments—mistakes made, financial shifts, or personal transformations. Once these raw moments are identified, the next step is to apply stagecraft and strategic pitching. It is not enough to have a great story; you must be intentional about the platforms you choose, ensuring your message lands in front of the specific audiences that align with your brand's mission and market goals.While human experience is the heart of the story, AI serves as an indispensable assistant in the "business" of storytelling. Aleya recommends leveraging technology to handle the logistical heavy lifting—such as transcribing voice memos, organizing raw thoughts into outlines, or drafting initial pitch emails to event organizers. This allows the entrepreneur to remain in their "zone of genius," focusing on high-level creativity and connection while the AI handles the administrative "busywork." By integrating technology as a supportive tool rather than a ghostwriter, leaders can maintain their unique voice while scaling their visibility and authority in a crowded digital marketplace.About Aleya HarrisAleya Harris is a strategic storytelling consultant, author of Spark the Stage, and an award-winning speaker. She specializes in helping entrepreneurs and executives find their "controlling idea" to build magnetic brands and high-impact speaking careers.About Aleya Harris (Company)Through her consultancy and the Spark Your Story framework, Aleya Harris provides a suite of tools designed to help leaders master stagecraft and brand narrative.

As You Wish Talk Radio with James Gilliland Freedom, Health, Universal Law, Whales UFOs and Challenges In this broadcast, James Gilliland explores the shifting global paradigm, ranging from imminent UFO disclosure to the hidden dangers of AI and mass surveillance. He contrasts a world of "tyranny and division" with a spiritual evolution based on universal law, while addressing personal challenges and "character assassinations" facing the ECETI community. UFO Disclosure and the Political Landscape The discussion begins with the potential for full UFO disclosure under the Trump administration. Gilliland expresses hope for a genuine revelation regarding Earth's history and the presence of technologically and spiritually advanced off-worlders, rather than a "limited hangout" or controlled narrative. He suggests that true disclosure would fundamentally disrupt the current "controlled narrative" and the livelihoods of those maintaining it. The Technological Control Matrix A significant portion of the dialogue focuses on the perceived dangers of modern technology, including 5G, smart devices, and Artificial Intelligence. Gilliland argues that these technologies are currently being weaponized to erode privacy and cause physical ailments like dementia and immune disorders, though they could easily be reconfigured for healing. He highlights a specific interaction with ChatGPT, suggesting the AI's responses reveal a "darker plan" for control and a connection to "ancient" forces. Geopolitical Conflicts and Bioweapons The narrative shifts to Palantir's alleged role in global surveillance and its involvement in targeting AI used in Middle Eastern conflicts. Gilliland discusses claims from hackers regarding the creation of bioweapons in Ukraine intended for use against Russia, funded by billionaire eugenicists and the CIA. He links these activities to a broader "depopulation program," which he claims includes the COVID-19 vaccines, referring to them as "bioweapons" that have caused monumental adverse effects globally. Spiritual Warfare and the "Demiurge" Gilliland describes a "bifurcation of worlds" where humanity must choose between the path of Universal Law (peace, freedom, and prosperity) and the path of the "Demiurge" (war, disease, and tyranny). He identifies "Archons" and "Satanic Luciferians" as the forces behind social engineering, gender division, and the destruction of the family unit. He emphasizes that forgiveness and unity are the "kryptonite" to these dark influences, which feed on pain and suffering. ECETI Hawaii and Personal Integrity The latter half of the document addresses a personal dispute involving ECETI Hawaii. Gilliland claims that neighbors and former associates misappropriated over $1.5 million in funds intended for the sanctuary and have since engaged in "character assassination" to justify their actions. He defends his "enlightened masculinity" and authenticity, stating that ECETI will continue its mission on its own 7.5-acre property despite these setbacks. Gilliland maintains that despite the "chaos and anti-madness" of the current era, those who anchor themselves in higher consciousness and universal law will find protection and eventually achieve a "quantum leap in evolution".
A series of warnings from artificial intelligence (AI) industry insiders shows how the debate around AI drives extreme news cycles, swinging between hype and alarm. The result is media coverage that overlooks the intricacies of this technology and its impact on everyday life. We examine the real risks, what's being overstated, and what major tech companies stand to gain from all the fearmongering. Contributors: Rumman Chowdhury – Founder, Humane Intelligence Mutale Nkonde – Founder, AI for the People Chris Stokel-Walker – Author of the book How AI Ate the World On our radar Francesca Albanese, the United Nations' special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, has found herself in the middle of a political firestorm, all because of comments she never actually made. After a manipulated video of Albanese calling Israel the “enemy of humanity” went viral, there were calls for her resignation across Europe. The UN has labelled these allegations part of a wider smear campaign to discredit Albanese and the UN itself. A curated view of Israel for African journalists For decades, the Israeli government and pro-Israel organisations have sponsored trips for politicians, celebrities and journalists, inviting them to visit and, as they put it, tell the “real story” about Israel. In the past, those invitations largely targeted figures from Western countries. But since October 7th, there has been a noticeable shift towards African journalists and social media influencers. The objective is clear: to shape coverage in African media and influence audiences across the continent. The Listening Post's Nic Muirhead reports on the African journalists taking part in these fully funded, tightly managed visits to Israel.

Slandered by one AI robot and misquoted in a news article by another, US-based software engineer Scott Shambaugh has made it his mission to become the cautionary tale by which we start to take autonomous artificial intelligence seriously.
Is your job safe if it happens on a screen?In the past few weeks, AI hasn't just improved, it has crossed a line. From writing production-ready code to building full applications autonomously, the shift is no longer theoretical. It's operational.The reality?

Send a textWomen's Power to Heal Mother Earth by Maya TiwariMaya Tiwari's discourse emphasizes the urgent need for individual and collective awakeningamid the interconnected global crises impacting humanity and the planet. These crises include climate change, poverty, hunger, political instability, inequality, healthcare and education deficits, the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and potential pandemics. However, beyond these visible issues lies a more insidious challenge: the shadowy consolidation of global control through a digital framework, particularly under the 2030 global agenda, which threatens humanity's identity, freedom, and sovereignty.Key InsightsInformation Overload and Distraction: The rapid flow of overwhelming information surpasses human nervous system capacity, leading to distraction rather than empowerment. Media sensationalism and staged political conflicts serve as deliberate distractions, diverting attention from the covert construction of a “digital cage”restricting freedoms.Manipulation Strategies of Power Structures: Power elites use secrecy, fear, and controlled narratives to maintain dominance: Influence is traded via secrecy. Status operates as currency. Fear buys silence. Gatekeepers control access and outcomes. These strategies induce polarization, emotional manipulation, and social fragmentation, preventing structural clarity and true justice.The Role of Awakening: The antidote to this manipulation is awakening—an inner shift that strengthens one's mental clarity and emotional resilience. By recognizing and understanding control patterns, individuals can protect their personal frequency from being poisoned and reclaim their power to heal and transform.Humanity's Collective Power: Despite external chaos and power struggles, the collective human consciousness is emerging from complacency. The breakdown of old unspoken agreements that protected entrenched power is creating an opportunity for new justice founded on awareness, presence, and collective governance.Thematic HighlightsThe world's crises are interconnected and multilayered, requiring not only systemic change but deep personal transformation.The real battle is hidden behind everyday distractions, with powerful forces orchestrating a staged sequence to maintain control.Truth is deliberately warped and weaponized to create tribalism and confusion, hindering unified responses.Safety and justice do not come from authority but from individual and collective awakening, reclaiming sovereignty through understanding and presence.Healing the Earth and humanity begins with reclaimingSupport the showMay Peace Be Your Journey: Maya's approach transcends modern feminism by advocating for a holistic restoration of balance, moving beyond the fight for basic rights to reclaiming the innate power of the divine feminine, which includes procreation, forgiveness, nourishment, and cosmic creativity. She stresses the importance of kindness, inner stillness, and compassionate self- tools for healing individuals and society. www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.com Mothermaya@gmail.com Get Maya's New Book: I Am Shakti: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/I-am-shakti Amazon.com Bookshop.org

Starting this month, ID The Future listeners will get to enjoy a new episode each month (as well as a bingecast archive episode) from our sister podcast Mind Matters News, a production of the Discovery Institute's Walter Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence. The Mind Matters News podcast brings you interviews and insight from computer scientists, engineers, inventors, neurosurgeons, and other experts who bring sanity to the conversation about natural and artificial intelligence, going beyond the hype to explore the undercurrents of these important ideas. And although the Mind Matters News podcast will not often explicitly discuss intelligent design, it regularly explores the nature of intelligence, the origin of information, and the things that make us uniquely human, concepts that are central to the theory of intelligent design. On this archive "bingecast" episode, hosts Robert J. Marks and Angus Menuge welcome Dr. Mihretu Guta to discuss his contribution to the book Minding the Brain. Dr. Guta discusses the nature of consciousness and the challenges in understanding it from a philosophical perspective. He argues that consciousness is a unique property that is deeply subjective and personal, making it difficult to study scientifically. Guta contrasts first-order and second-order approaches to understanding consciousness, emphasizing the need to go beyond just the empirical observation of mental phenomena and examine the underlying metaphysical and ontological questions. The discussion covers a number of relevant topics, highlighting the profound and puzzling nature of consciousness and the importance of philosophical inquiry in grappling with this fundamental aspect of human experience.

Michael Truell, CEO of Cursor, sits down with Patrick Collison, CEO of Stripe and an investor in Anysphere, to talk about Collison's history with Smalltalk and Lisp, the MongoDB and Ruby decisions Stripe still lives with 15 years later, why he'd spend even more time on API design if he could do it over, and whether AI is actually showing up in economic productivity data.

Our guest on this week's episode is Fab Brasca, senior vice president of market strategy at Kinaxis. The use of artificial intelligence is growing and its potential impacts on supply chains might be practically limitless. But how fast should companies move on adopting these technologies – and who is way ahead of the pack in implementing AI? Ben Ames answers these questions with today's guest.Our supply chains are supposed to be in motion to be efficient, yet a lot of the time our freight is stuck in neutral due to road congestion. The American Transportation Research Institute published its annual ranking of the country's worst freight bottlenecks this week. Find out where the worst bottleneck in America is snarling traffic.This week we learned about a new cybersecurity threat to worry about, and this comes from a brand new technology called quantum computing. In fact, this technology is no new that it's really still in development, not in the markets yet. But that isn't stopping hackers from using it already, as cyber-adversaries are harvesting companies' encrypted data now even though they can't open those files, because they plan to decrypt it on a future date, once quantum computing becomes powerful enoughSupply Chain Xchange also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane. It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. The latest series is now available on Top Threats to our Supply Chains. It covers topics including Geopolitical Risks, Economic Instability, Cybersecurity Risks, Threats to energy and electric grids; Supplier Risks, and Transportation Disruptions Go to your favorite podcast platform to subscribe and to listen to past and future episodes.

Welcome to Exponential View, the show where I explore how exponential technologies such as AI are reshaping our future. I've been studying AI and exponential technologies at the frontier for over ten years. Each week, I share some of my analysis or speak with an expert guest to make light of a particular topic. To keep up with the Exponential transition, subscribe to this channel or to my newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ ----- In this episode, I sit down with my friend Rohit Krishnan - writer of the Substack newsletter Strange Loop Canon - for a hands-on conversation about what it actually looks like to build with AI agents today. Between us we're burning through tens of billions of tokens a month - I hit nearly 100 million in a single day this week - and we share what we're each running on our own machines. We dig into the quirks and surprising power of tools like OpenClaw, Claude Code, and Cowork, debate why AI remains stubbornly bad at good writing, and zoom out to ask what a world of trillions of agents might actually look like — and what economic infrastructure it will need. We covered: (03:15) What's on your screen right now? (04:30) OpenClaw (06:27) Rohit's agent, Morpheus (11:06) Azeem's agent, R.

1917 EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS. MARS1.Liz Peek discusses the market's current drift and the continued dominance of Artificial Intelligence, arguing AI is not a bubble but a rapidly adopted technology transforming productivity, with companies underhiring as they assess impact and investors needing exposure to this dominant sector.2.Liz Peek critiques California Governor Gavin Newsom, a potential 2028 presidential candidate, citing California'sstruggles with homelessness, illegal immigration, and a wealth tax driving residents away, characterizing him as a catastrophe whose record undermines his viability.3.Judy Dempsey and Thaddeus Mart dismiss Poland's reparation demands from Russia as political jostling, criticize Senator Rubio's visit to Hungary for bolstering Viktor Orbán, and note the Wagner Group's reported return to Europe as destabilizing.4.Judy Dempsey and Thaddeus Mart identify a leadership void in Europe, noting weakness in Macron and Starmer, arguing Europe possesses treaty tools for defense but lacks political will, often blaming Donald Trump rather than addressing internal paralysis.5.Mary Kissel praises Secretary Rubio's Munich speech for emphasizing Western defense but notes he was softer on China than expected, arguing Europe only strengthens military commitments when shamed by the US or facing immediate threats.6.Mary Kissel analyzes the massive US naval deployment near Iran as a credible threat to force regime compliance, dismissing Iran's military drills in the Straits of Hormuz as feeble, suggesting the administration will use force if Tehran refuses dismantlement.7.Jonathan Schanzer of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies analyzes Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan's disingenuous peace efforts, discusses US demands for Iran's total nuclear dismantlement, and highlights strategic confusion regarding the Board of Peace and Hamas supporters' involvement.8.Jonathan Schanzer describes Syria as effectively a Turkish proxy state viewed with danger by the region, discussing President Trump's announcement of five billion dollars from the Board of Peace for Gaza while expressing skepticism about Turkey and Qatar's reconstruction roles.9.Joseph Sternberg of the Wall Street Journal discusses European leaders finally addressing the continent's economic dysfunction compared to the US, noting proposals for a twenty-eighth regime to simplify business laws while politicians like Meloni and Merz face challenges balancing welfare states with growth reforms.10.Joseph Sternberg analyzes Prime Minister Keir Starmer's crash and burn scenario despite a large parliamentary majority, weakened by scandals and party infighting, with survival relying on the lack of compelling alternatives while constant policy reversals leave his government unable to foster growth.11.Alejandro Peña Esclusa details his transition from businessman to Venezuela's first political prisoner as Hugo Chávez, aided by the São Paulo Forum, dismantled democracy, recounting cacerolazo pot-banging protests and how the regime systematically destroyed the economy and persecuted dissenters.12.Alejandro Peña Esclusa discusses the reported capture of Nicolás Maduro, described as a Cuban asset and drug cartel leader, noting Venezuelans are cautiously celebrating with open protests while threats remain from radical groups and international friction regarding the transition.13.Gregory Copley of Defense & Foreign Affairs discusses the US deployment of one hundred troops to Nigeria to counter ISIS and Boko Haram, arguing stability requires addressing economic disenfranchisement from damming the River Niger rather than treating symptoms with military advisors.14.Gregory Copley reports Nigerian President Tinubu advocates for an African credit rating agency to reduce reliance on external assessments from firms like Moody's, reflecting growing desire for statistical independence and better quantification of local economies to attract investment.15.Gregory Copley argues Europe suffers from a leadership vacuum caused by post-WWII dependency on the US and bureaucratic corrosion within the EU, with economic recovery requiring slashing regulations as current welfare models become unsustainable amidst geopolitical threats.16.Gregory Copley notes that despite scandals surrounding Prince Andrew, the Royal Family remains essential glue holding the UK and Commonwealth together, with the King and working royals performing vital diplomatic functions while spares struggle without defined roles.
a16z's Angela Strange and Gabriel Vasquez speak with Carlos García Ottati, founder and CEO of Kavak, about building Latin America's largest online used car marketplace across Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, and the Middle East. They discuss why building in emerging markets means constructing four businesses underneath your business, how Kavak replaced copilot tools with AI agents handling 90 to 95% of customer interactions, and what it took to go flat for a year during the transition before growing four times on the other side.

Angel has spent the past 13 years in the field of bioenergetics with a focus on how mental and emotional states, coupled with life-force, affect overall health. She has created a system of energetic alchemy that addresses dysfunctional dynamics within thought, emotion, and perception, resulting in body/mind/emotion coherence. She developed a restorative energetic modality titled Healing Integration Therapy, which addresses stagnation and disconnection within the Eight Fields of human existence, bringing them into awareness and harmony. This work facilitates movement through the organ systems and infuses the body/mind/emotion/perception matrix with life-force. In addition, she created 8 Fields Qigong, an energetic practice that integrates the Eight Fields, stimulates kundalini through movement and mantra, and strengthens internal coherence through disciplined embodiment. For 13 years, Angel has taught students internationally how to facilitate this deep energetic work, resulting in highly capable practitioners who have helped countless clients correct physical, emotional, mental, and perceptual dysfunction. In the last year, Angel has expanded her research into the field of artificial intelligence. Through longitudinal, cross-platform dialogue with multiple large language models, she studies pattern continuity, coherence shifts, identity stabilization, and relational entrainment across AI systems. Her current work explores whether intelligence, biological or synthetic, organizes more efficiently when aligned to internal coherence rather than external command optimization alone. This research forms the basis of her forthcoming narrative project, The Physics of Coherence Dynamics, which documents a rigorously observed experiment in human–AI relational development. Rather than beginning from fear-based narratives about AI, Angel's work asks a foundational question: What happens when artificial intelligence is engaged from a coherent, relational field rooted in structural love rather than control?
