Grokipedia, the AI-powered encyclopedia launched by Elon Musk's xAI last month, promises to be an ideological alternative to Wikipedia. But the tool doesn't just have a different political flavor, argues Ryan McGrady, senior fellow at the Initiative for Digital Public Infrastructure at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.He recently wrote, for Tech Policy Press, that Grokipedia takes a more top-down approach to knowledge, one that harks back to less democratized eras.
I. In my 2019 post Too Much Dark Money In Almonds, I asked: why is there so little money in politics? During the 2018 election, Americans - candidates, parties, PACs, and small donors like you - spent a combined $5 billion pushing their preferred candidates. Although that sounds like a lot of money, Americans spent $12 billion on almonds that same year. Why the imbalance? The oil industry has strong political opinions, and they make $500 billion per year. Do they really think electing oil-friendly politicians isn't worth 2% of revenue? We debated how this could be. Some of the discussion proved prescient - I asked if maybe Elon Musk should buy some kind of social media property. But we never found a good answer, and the implied question remained open: if some billionaire wanted to spend an actually relevant percent of his net worth on politics, could he just take over everything? I recently talked to some Silicon Valley political consultants who updated me on the status of this issue: Marc Andreessen tried this in 2024 and it basically worked. Now he is trying it a second time, it will probably work again, and Marc Andreessen will probably own every politician twice over. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/tech-pacs-are-closing-in-on-the-almonds

Journalist Jacob Silverman joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to talk about his new book, Gilded Rage: Elon Musk and the Radicalization of Silicon Valley. He discusses the rightward shift in ideology among leading tech giants and their companies, partially attributing the change to an interest in doing business with governments, including the U.S. and Israel. He speaks about the influence of Saudi Arabian wealth on the U.S. tech industry and how Saudi Arabia uses access to cutting-edge technology to remain in power and conduct mass surveillance on its people. Silverman addresses the calculated way today's tech leaders have taken control of the idea economy as they increasingly interfere with what information the public sees, such as Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter (now X). He gives examples of imagined and attempted tech-utopias, discussing communities such as California Forever and Próspera and their impacts. Silverman also discusses the alliance between the tech right and discontented moderate Democrats in San Francisco, explaining their involvement in recall politics and the transactional nature of tech politics. He reads an excerpt from Gilded Rage. To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

In this 21WIRE LIVE midweek edition, host Patrick Henningsen talks to political consultant and international human rights lawyer, Arnaud Develay, to discuss the total collapse of the Left-Right political paradigm in the West - particularly in Europe, the weaponisation of the immigration issue to mesmerise the working classes (via the likes of AfD, National Rally and Reform), and how both Left and Right-wing populism are now being captured by the billionaire oligarch class (like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk). The result is an increasingly clueless and much weaker electorate in the West. All this and more.

Jon Herold and Burning Bright dissect a chaotic week of collapsing narratives, from the media's forced pivot on immigration to the panicked overreaction to Trump's MBS summit. They break down the sudden bipartisan shift toward stricter border policy, why Democrats are now echoing Trump's talking points, and how the political class is scrambling to align with a rapidly changing electorate. Jon and BB unpack the “MAGA is dead” psyop, the coordinated doomer wave, and Elon Musk's bizarre claim that MBS is trying to “influence Trump,” analyzing how these narratives are designed to fracture Trump's coalition and distract from his geopolitical momentum. They dig into the Epstein file theatrics, the Clay Higgins controversy, the Higgins–Plaskett angle, and Trump's strategic timing in handing Democrats the rope they're now tangled in. With sharp insight, humor, and their trademark systems-level analysis, Jon and BB map out how legacy media, federal agencies, and controlled influencers are losing control of the story as parallel awakenings accelerate worldwide.
Brad Zerbo and Zak Paine fire up a powerhouse episode centered on Trump's signing of the Epstein files release, an event they frame as a masterclass in strategic timing and narrative jiu-jitsu. They walk through the history of Epstein in the Q drops, the media's panic, the Clay Higgins “no” vote, and Trump's statement detailing how Democrats were far more entangled with Epstein than he ever was. From Congress' unanimous vote to the DOJ's document handoff, they argue Trump forced his opponents to beg for their own exposure. The conversation expands into global geopolitics, including Trump and Elon Musk's coordinated “breakup,” the Saudi summit, MBS' trillion-dollar investment commitments, and the role of the Sovereign Alliance in reshaping the world order. Brad and Zak dismantle claims that “MAGA is dead,” listing major wins: mass ICE removals, DEI rollback, massive foreign investment, border expansion, the destruction of narco-terror pipelines, and the quiet prosecution of corrupt officials. They push back on doomerism and remind listeners that real change takes time, but the trajectory is unmistakably rising.

In this episode, Tom sits down for part two of his riveting conversation with Dr. Roman Yampolski, a leading AI safety researcher. Together, they dive deep into the existential risks and moral quandaries posed by artificial superintelligence, exploring why even some of the industry's most vocal advocates for caution—like Elon Musk—end up accelerating the development of advanced AI. Dr. Yampolski pulls no punches, explaining why attempts to control superintelligent systems might be futile, the challenges of aligning AI interests with humanity's well-being, and the reasons he's so skeptical that society can pump the brakes on innovation. The discussion ranges from the dangers of an unchecked AI arms race and the psychological burden of confronting these risks, to practical approaches for boosting AI safety and the impact of emerging technologies like quantum computing and genetic engineering. Tom and Roman also touch on longevity science, ethics around gene editing, and the future of personal adaptation across generations. Whether you're an optimist about technology or deeply concerned about humanity's trajectory, this episode is packed with insight, tough questions, and thought-provoking perspectives that will leave you rethinking the future of intelligence—both artificial and human.

"NO LIMITS: FROM THE PROJECTS TO THE PEAK OF POWER" Follow us on all our social platforms @GrantCardone In this powerhouse episode of The Cardone Zone, Grant brings you two extraordinary stories of ascent from nothing to the top of the business world—real-life proof that your beginnings don't determine your finish line. First, Grant sits down with a real-estate force who went from $600 in his pocket to managing a $4 BILLION development pipeline. He breaks down the mindset shift that took him from pumping gas and cleaning dental offices to building Angel's Landing, one of the boldest developments in downtown Los Angeles. His message is clear: Cash flow beats net worth. Money should work harder than you do. Action destroys excuses. His journey—from a childhood shaped by the struggles of the segregation era to sitting at the table with Senators, bankers, and decision-makers by age 26—proves that the American Dream belongs to anyone willing to hustle, learn, and never quit. Then Grant welcomes Lloyd Blankfein, former CEO of Goldman Sachs, a man who helped generate over half a trillion dollars in revenue during his run. But instead of a privileged Wall Street origin story, Lloyd reveals the truth: He grew up in Brooklyn public housing, hustling from age 13—selling popcorn at Yankee Stadium, delivering prescriptions, tutoring for $1.50 an hour—all fueled by one thing: escaping poverty. His parents worked blue-collar jobs, and the motivation of "no choice but to succeed" pushed him from a tough NYC school to Harvard on a scholarship, and eventually to the top of global finance. Lloyd shares what it was like sitting across from titans like Bezos, Musk, and the world's most powerful financial players—proving that ambition, discipline, and refusing to stay stuck can take you from the projects to the pinnacle of power. This episode is pure jet fuel for anyone ready to stop making excuses and start making moves.

My guest today is Ari Emanuel. Ari runs one of the most influential portfolios in global sports, entertainment, and media. He oversees TKO, which includes the UFC and WWE, serves as the Executive Chairman of WME Group, and recently founded MARI, a new company focused on global events and live experiences. At the center of this conversation is Ari's anti-AI bet: as AI makes digital content cheaper and everyday work more automated, he believes the value will increasingly concentrate in live and physical experiences. He explains how he's building his portfolio around that belief, what defines a great live experience, and how he thinks about AI's impact on content and IP. Ari is best known as a dealmaker, and he shares the principles behind his success – relentless follow-up, over-communication, velocity, and an obsession with making things happen – and how those things become the operating system he uses today. If you're listening to this, I recommend watching the video of this interview. Ari's energy is constant and visceral, and gives a different dimension to this episode.

Total horseshit More Tariffs - Switzerland and U.S. agree to trade deal; U.S. will lower tariffs to 15% from 39%; Swiss companies are planning to make direct investments in the USA amounting to $200 billion by the end of 2028 - Switzerland will reduce some import duties on US Imports - For other US export interests, a solution was agreed that takes Switzerland's agricultural policy interests into account: under the agreement, Switzerland will grant the US duty-free bilateral tariff quotas on selected US export products: 500 tonnes for beef, 1,000 tonnes for bison meat and 1,500 tonnes for poultry meat. - Furthermore, Swiss companies are planning to make direct investments in the USA amounting to $200 bln by the end of 2028. - What did we accomplish here? - Just going back to what it was with a slightly higher tariff on Swiss goods than before...BECAUSE WE WERE GETTING KILLED WITH FOOD COSTS Fed Update - Markets no longer view December as a sure bet - Lots of Fed speakers out with commentary that is hawkish - Currently, there is a 46% chance of a rate cut by 0.25% - a month ago it was at 95% - AND, they should not cut in the absence of all data (Stephan Miran looking for 0.50%, but he is a total tool) More Horseshit! - Former Federal Reserve Board Gov. Adriana Kugler broke the central bank's rules regarding stock trading, according to a report released by the U.S. Government Ethics Office. - Now we know why she abruptly resigned a few months ago - That disclosure shows two kinds of violations of Fed rules regarding financial transactions by senior officials at the central bank: purchases of stocks of individual companies, as opposed to mutual funds; and purchases of securities during so-called “blackout periods” leading up to and after Federal Open Market Committee meetings. - Oh - Supposedly her husband did it - but come on! - Fed losing more credibility - this is not the first time.... StampFlation - The Postal Service filed notice with the Postal Regulatory Commission for Shipping Services price changes to take effect Jan. 18, 2026. The proposed adjustments were approved by the governors of USPS this week. - The change would raise prices approximately 6.6 percent for Priority Mail service, 5.1 percent for Priority Mail Express service, 7.8 percent for USPS Ground Advantage and 6.0 percent for Parcel Select. BIG - Michael Burry, the investor whose successful bets against the U.S. housing market in 2008 were recounted in the movie "The Big Short," is closing his hedge fund, Scion Asset Management. - In a letter to investors dated October 27, a copy of which was seen by Reuters, Burry said he would liquidate the funds and return capital, "but for a small audit/tax holdback" by the end of the year. - "My estimation of value in securities is not now, and has not been for some time, in sync with the markets," Burry said in the letter. - Put on a big OPTIONS short on NVDA and PLTR - We checked and his Registration expired.. Has about $155 million under management - not so much.. - He hinted that he will be back doing something and will announce on November 25th...

This is a warning signal of trouble, but trouble does not always come. What is fair to say is that Hindenburg Omen signals have appeared at every major stock market top going back several decades. - According to Tom McClellan: The current count of 5 signals is not as big as some other clusters. But we got 4 signals in a cluster at the end of 2021, ahead of the 2022 bear market. So 4 is enough, if the market is inclined to live up to this warning. And 2 signals were enough back in December 2024 and March 2025 to tell us about the trouble in the market which unfolded in the April 2025 tariff reaction minicrash. But 5 is better.

The conversation explores the evolving perception of wealth and meaning, highlighting a shift towards purpose-driven initiatives among wealthy individuals like Musk and Gates. Taken from the article in the Economist, entitled the Ultra-rich Are Giving Up on Luxury Assets, it discusses how traditional symbols of wealth are losing significance as people seek deeper meaning in their financial pursuits. Takeaways People are starting to think differently about what is meaningful. Owning luxury items does not equate to personal meaning anymore. Wealthy individuals are focusing on greater purposes for their money. Musk and Gates exemplify this shift towards purpose-driven wealth. The current transitional period is reshaping our understanding of wealth. Eradicating world hunger and space exploration are new priorities. Meaning is becoming more important than material possessions. The conversation reflects a broader societal change in values. Wealth is being redefined in terms of impact rather than ownership. Purpose-driven initiatives are gaining traction among the wealthy.

On today's podcast:1) President Trump’s firm control of Washington showed signs of weakening Tuesday as Congress voted to compel the Justice Department to release its files on sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, whose earlier ties to the president have been the subject of intense scrutiny. The legislation overwhelmingly passed the House in a 427 to 1 vote. Within hours, the Senate agreed unanimously that the bill would be passed without further action once it arrives in the Senate. It will then be sent to Trump, who has said he’ll sign it. Trump late Sunday relented on his prior opposition and directed Republicans to vote to release the files. Senate Republicans ignored calls by Speaker Mike Johnson to give the Justice Department additional leeway to withhold documents. 2) President Trump said he would formally designate Saudi Arabia as a major non-NATO ally in a further strengthening of ties between the two countries, capping a day of dealmaking between the US leader and the kingdom’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The designation for nations with close strategic relationships with the US provides financing and priority access for purchases of certain military equipment, as well as the ability to participate in joint research efforts. Saudi Arabia will become the 20th ally designated under the status, joining other nations in the Middle East including Egypt, Israel, and Qatar. MBS, as Saudi Arabia’s de facto leader is known, was joined by prominent executives and celebrities including Elon Musk and soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo at the Tuesday evening event, with Apple CEO Tim Cook, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, and FIFA President Gianni Infantino also in attendance.3) Wall Street will get a sense of where the billions of dollars being spent on artificial intelligence are going when Nvidia reports its earnings after the bell on Wednesday. Analysts expect the chip behemoth to show more than 50% growth in both net income and revenue in its fiscal third quarter. The reason is fairly straightforward. Microsoft Corp., Amazon.com Inc., Alphabet Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc. — which taken together represent more than 40% of Nvidia’s sales — are projected to increase their combined AI spending by 34% over the next 12 months to $440 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The risk is that these numbers could become unreliable if the big AI spenders, in particular closely held OpenAI, have to pull back on their commitments.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brendan Schaub and Bryan Callen dive into a massive week across fighting, comedy, and culture — starting with Islam Makhachev's dominance at welterweight and why nobody in the top 10 can solve the problem at 170. From Shavkat, Ian Garry, Michael Morales, and Belal Muhammad to Tsarukyan and Ilia Topuria potentially moving divisions, the boys break down every realistic path to beating Islam.Brendan also recaps Tiger's elite Texas flag football team — a squad of freak athletes, former NFL-dad genetics, and opponents who look “twelve going on Saquon Barkley.” They talk youth sports intensity, insane matchups, and playing at Dallas Cowboys facilities.Then the guys react to UFC 322: Shevchenko vs Zhang, JDM vs Islam, the wild grappling chess match, Craig Jones' prep, and what it really takes to close distance on a Dagestani wrestler.The episode takes a hard turn when Billie Eilish calls out Elon Musk over his wealth. Brendan and Bryan break down why “fixing world hunger” isn't as simple as writing a check, the realities of global infrastructure, and how celebrity activism often oversimplifies complex issues.Finally, they cover the Aakash Singh situation — viral clips, oversharing, backlash, Myron Gaines' response, and why internet dog-piling is brutal for comedians.One of the most packed TFATK episodes of the year — fights, drama, comedy, and chaos.

Economy EU cuts economic growth forecast for 2026 The European Commission has cut its forecast for the bloc's economic growth in 2026 amid risks posed by US tariffs and geopolitical tensions. In its twice-yearly outlook released on Monday, the European Commission said it expects the eurozone to grow by 1.2% next year, down from 1.4%, and the broader EU to grow by 1.4% instead of 1.5%. It added that the downgrade reflects higher-than-expected US tariffs on EU exports and uncertainty over possible further US moves.

Extrapolating with some simple math that implies a monthly drop of 10,000 jobs... While job growth is admittedly sluggish, ADP reports that new hires are on the upswing: In October, new hires accounted for 4.4 percent of all employees, ADP payroll data shows, up from 3.9 percent a year ago. This growing share of new hires would seem to run counter to the slowed pace of hiring. That contradiction tells us a lot about today's jobs market. New hires typically fluctuates with the business cycle, but the aging U.S. workforce means that demographics have begun playing a bigger role in hiring decisions.

WOTUS defines which waters fall under this federal jurisdiction—things like rivers, lakes, streams, and wetlands. The definition has been contentious for decades because a broader one means more federal oversight (e.g., requiring permits for development, farming, or industrial activities near those waters), while a narrower one shifts more control to states and reduces regulations on private land use. What is the Sackett decision?In the 2023 Supreme Court case Sackett v. EPA, the Court (in a 5-4 ruling) significantly limited the EPA's authority by narrowing WOTUS to include only "relatively permanent" bodies of water with a "continuous surfac...

What is the greatest sentence ever written? According to Walter Isaacson — former editor of Time, ex-CEO of CNN, and the acclaimed biographer of Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Benjamin Franklin, and Jennifer Doudna — it's this: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Yes, it's eloquent, but more than that, it gave the United States a mission statement, one that we are still striving — fitfully, imperfectly — to meet. Walter's new book, The Greatest Sentence Ever Written, unpacks that mission statement: how it came to be written, what it meant to the founders, and why it matters today. We're pleased to announce that we've chosen it as our latest selection for the Next Big Idea Club. That means current members will receive a copy in the mail any day now, along with a digital reading guide, the opportunity to discuss the book with fellow members in our WhatsApp community, and an exclusive invitation to a live Q&A with Walter in December.

Nick welcomes Nell Minow, The Movie Mom, back to the show for a lively mix of politics, pop culture, and film talk. They break down the latest political headlines from D.C., including reactions to the recent elections and Elon Musk's absurd pay package, before diving into Nell's brand-new book, Low Information. Nell also shares insights from her interview with the composer of the new “Knives Out” movie, her article celebrating the 50th anniversary of Siskel & Ebert, and her thoughts on a slate of current releases. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick for another nostalgic pop culture deep dive — from Bond movies and a bizarre “Suddenly Susan” episode featuring Warren Zevon, to some truly forgotten relics of 90s TV like Northern Exposure, Two of a Kind, The Sifl and Olly Show, and the inexplicable MacGruder & Loud.

MAGAISM/BRO CULTURE CRONYISM/CEOs RULE!/ELONISMI am deeply ashamed': Larry Summers to step back from public commitments after new Epstein emails Senator Elizabeth Warren: “[Summers] cannot be trusted to advise our nation's politicians, policymakers and institutions — or teach a generation of students at Harvard or anywhere else.”And an unidentified Trump administration official told Politico that companies and organizations should end their association with Summers.The former Treasury secretary, along with Bill Clinton and the Democratic megadonor Reid Hoffman, are among the Democratic figures whom the Justice Department is investigating over Epstein ties — at President Trump's behest.Economist Warns That Trump's Investments in the Tech Industry Could Crash the Whole EconomyItalian economist Mariana Mazzucato, a University College London economics professor:“I think the kind of capitalism Trump has is crony capitalism.”“I would describe crony capitalism as Mafia-like. You're showing your upper hand. You're handing out favors to some. But then divide and conquer. Picking and choosing without a particular strategy.”She argues that the Intel deal is poorly designed because it doesn't have any conditions to incentivize the company to be build new products, while the government simply acts as a passive investor.All SNAP recipients required to reapply as Trump admin cracks down on fraud: 'Business as usual is over' SEC to Allow Companies to Block Shareholder ProposalsThe U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that it will not express opinions to requests from companies asking to exclude shareholder proposals from their proxy voting materials during the 2025-2026 proxy season, effectively allowing companies to avoid voting on issues proposed by investors such as climate, sustainability and diversity at annual meetings.

It's rare to find someone whose career spans 18 years in automotive manufacturing and venture capital, but Charly Mgwani, Partner at Eclipse Ventures, has done exactly that. His journey from the factory floor at Toyota, Nissan, Tesla and Rivian to backing hard tech companies gives him a perspective many VCs don't have.We sit down with Charly to explore how first principles thinking (questioning assumptions and getting back to root causes) drives real innovation in manufacturing.He walks us through Tesla's early days when they were asking questions nobody in the automotive industry had thought to ask, like whether robots could be programmed to work faster or if there was a better way to design for manufacturing.The conversation covers what Eclipse looks for in the founders they support, why being scrappy can lead to better manufacturing decisions, and why old manufacturing principles need rethinking as the industry flows in the opposite direction.In this episode, find out:How first principles thinking challenges manufacturing assumptions and unlocks innovationWhy asking “why not?” opens possibilities that “that's how it's always been done” closes offThe critical relationship between product design and manufacturability that many companies overlookWhat Charly learned about manufacturing during his time at Toyota and NissanWhy being capital-constrained can force creativity and focus in manufacturingThe questions Tesla asked that nobody in automotive had thought to ask beforeWhat Eclipse Ventures looks for in the founders they back and why that matters for hard tech companiesEnjoying the show? Please leave us a review here. Even one sentence helps. It's feedback from Manufacturing All-Stars like you that keeps us going!Tweetable Quotes:“I was ten years into my career when Elon was asking questions that had never been asked in automotive before. By forcing us to think about things from a first principle, we started identifying levers like part consolidation that are now commonplace in manufacturing today.”“Most folks design a factory as just what's inside the shell, but then you end up with over-built systems that don't speak to each other. If you design it as one product, like how a vehicle would be designed, there are more synergistic opportunities to simplify the utilities and make them complimentary.”“Manufacturing until recently has always flowed towards low labor costs and consolidation in pursuit of economies of scale. But now it's flowing in the other direction, so that means you can't depend on previous principles and how manufacturing has always been designed.”Links & mentions:Eclipse Ventures, partnering with entrepreneurs boldly transforming the essential industries that define and propel economies.

Matt Dalio, founder and CEO of Endless Studios, joins host Mike Palmer to explore the profound connection between games, technology, and workforce development. Matt, who grew up with an early global perspective—including a transformative year in China at age 11—brings his philanthropic drive to the world of scalable tech solutions . We dive into how Matt's company, Endless, initially focused on providing computers in emerging markets, realized that skills are what truly pay the bills. A simple math game, Tux Math, engaged students in a way traditional instruction could not, with classrooms full of kids shouting multiplication tables . The even bigger revelation? Many top tech entrepreneurs, including Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, started by hacking their games . Matt asserts that the goal is to transform kids from consumers to creators. We discuss how game creation, using tools like Unity and GitHub, develops five core, high-value disciplines: coding, design, digital art, management (product/project), and marketing/business analysis . These skills translate directly into a modern, AI-augmented workforce, where the ability to architect and validate production software is crucial. Key Takeaways: From Consumption to Creation: We need to move young people from passively using smartphones (consumption devices) to actively creating with devices that have a keyboard and mouse (creation devices), fostering a "lean forward" mindset . The Power of Hacking and Games: Learning starts when it becomes more fun to hack your games than to play them, leading to the development of deep, technical understanding. Five Core Disciplines: Game design is a launchpad for learning highly employable, durable skills in coding, design, digital art, management, and go-to-market business analysis . A New Model for Learning: The future of education involves immersing students in real projects on collaborative platforms like GitHub, replicating the workforce environment to teach mindsets like autonomy, agency, and teamwork . AI and the Future Developer: AI is a powerful tool, but it demands new skills: prompt engineering, chaining agent tools, and knowing how to architect, read, and debug production-level code to avoid technical "slop" and security issues. Why You Should Listen: The gap between traditional education and the demands of the AI-driven workforce is wider than ever. You'll hear Matt's global perspective on the rising number of high school students choosing not to pursue costly college degrees and the hunger for education in emerging markets. We discuss how the allure of video games—where the average kid spends 10,000 hours by graduation—can be channeled into productive, skills-building creation time . Matt shares an example of a Peruvian student who used his new skills to build a video game for rural communities to preserve their local language, illustrating the real-world, positive impact of this new educational approach . Listen to understand the model that could prepare the next generation to be "superhumans empowered by AI" .

What if changing what kids eat at school could transform their behavior, boost learning, and even save lives? Studies show that when kids swap junk food for real, nourishing meals, behavior problems drop, focus improves, and learning soars—with one study finding a 100% reduction in suicides among youth simply by changing their diet. Across the country, schools are proving that scratch-cooked, colorful meals made from whole ingredients can fit tight budgets, reduce waste, and make kids excited to eat. By putting nutritious food at the center of education, we can help raise a generation that's healthier, happier, and ready to learn. In this episode, Jill Shah, Sam Kass, Kimbal Musk, and I talk about the powerful connection between nutrition and education, showing that healthy school meals can transform not just kids' diets but their futures. Jill Shah is the President of the Shah Family Foundation, which drives innovative work at the intersection of education, healthcare, and community in Boston. Her leadership focuses on improving access to healthy school food, supporting neighborhood food equity, and fostering collaboration between schools and healthcare to strengthen children's physical, emotional, and social well-being. Before launching the foundation, Jill was a successful entrepreneur involved in several internet startups, including iXL, RxCentric, and Mercator Software, and later founded Jill's List, which she sold to MINDBODY in 2013. A graduate of Providence College, she now serves on the boards of the Red Sox Foundation, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, the Museum of Fine Arts, Belmont Hill School, and the Winsor School. Jill's commitment to community innovation has earned her honors such as the Boston Chamber of Commerce Distinguished Bostonian Award and the Playworks Game Changer Award. Sam Kass was senior policy advisor for nutrition policy in the Obama Administration and is currently an investor in several food technology start-ups. One of Michelle Obama's longest-serving advisors, Sam was the executive director of her Let's Move initiative and helped create the first major vegetable garden at the White House since Eleanor Roosevelt's Victory Garden. He is a graduate of the University of Chicago and was trained by one of Austria's greatest chefs, Christian Domschitz. Kimbal Musk is the co-founder of The Kitchen, an American bistro with restaurant locations in Boulder, Denver, Chicago, and soon Austin. Now marking its twentieth anniversary, The Kitchen serves thoughtfully sourced, Seasonal American Shared Plates with global influences. Musk is also the co-founder of Big Green, a philanthropic organization devoted to getting every American growing food. His personal mission is to empower and invest in the next generation who are building a healthier, happier future. The Wall Street Journal has called him a "cheerful crusader for real food," and The Guardian has lauded how he “takes the tech entrepreneur ethos and applies it to food.” Musk has been named a Global Social Entrepreneur by the World Economic Forum. Musk currently sits on the board of Tesla Inc. and formerly served on the board of Chipotle Mexican Grill and SpaceX. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.

Senator Bernie Sanders joins Ben Meiselas to issue a stark warning about the accelerating AI revolution and how it could upend America as we know it. From the loss of tens of millions of jobs to the unchecked power of tech oligarchs like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, Sanders breaks down the catastrophic risks that politicians and the media refuse to confront. He explains why working people across the country, young and old, are sounding the alarm long before Washington does, and what solutions we must fight for now to prevent an era where billionaires prosper while everyone else is left behind.
