My guest today is Sarah Guo, founder and managing partner of Conviction, the venture firm she built to back AI-native companies from their earliest days.  Sarah has become one of the most sought-after early-stage investors in AI, often the first check into the companies defining the frontier.  In this conversation, we go inside that frontier: what the small group of people actually building AI believe right now, why some of the field's best researchers are wrestling with their own sense of purpose, and how close we are to robots in the home and a genuine acceleration in scientific discovery.  At the center is Sarah's conviction that no single company will own the future of AI, and what that means for founders, investors, and anyone allocating their time and resources in a world moving this fast. Our managing editor Dom Cooke wrote a profile of Sarah for Colossus, "Sarah's Wager," on how she built the firm closest to the AI frontier and why she's now betting against its biggest companies.  Please enjoy this conversation with Sarah Guo.

Siva Yellamraju is the co-founder and CEO of Fourier, a company building modular, on-site hydrogen systems for long-duration energy storage and distributed hydrogen production. Fourier's approach combines lithium-ion batteries for short-duration needs with hydrogen storage for longer durations, packaged into a single system designed to operate like a microgrid. In this episode of Inevitable, Yellamraju explains why hydrogen has long been considered promising for multi-day, seasonal, and even multi-year energy storage, but has struggled because of the cost and complexity of transporting it. He argues that producing hydrogen where it is needed can remove that transportation challenge and unlock a different cost curve for long-duration storage. The conversation explores Fourier's modular “hydrogen blade” architecture, its first storage deployment in Gujarat, India, and the growing demand for alternatives to diesel generators as data centers require increasingly large amounts of backup power. Yellamraju also discusses why levelized cost of storage matters more than round-trip efficiency, India's potential role in energy manufacturing, and his transition from software and data centers into building physical energy infrastructure. Note: Fourier is an MCJ portfolio company. Episode recorded on August 5, 2026 (Published on September 1, 2026).

Willie Phillips is the former chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and now a partner at Holland & Knight. During his time at FERC, Phillips helped lead major reforms to transmission planning and the electric grid's interconnection process. He now advises the companies and utilities he once regulated, giving him a unique perspective on how developers can navigate the regulatory system. In this episode of Inevitable, Phillips explains how FERC works, what companies routinely get wrong when engaging with regulators, and why early participation and pre-filing conversations can dramatically improve the odds of success. He also breaks down the Supreme Court's overturning of the Chevron doctrine and how his team designed Order 1920 around reliability and existing legal precedent. The conversation then turns to the bigger challenge facing the U.S. grid: rapidly growing electricity demand from AI, data centers, electrification, and industrial activity. Phillips argues that the grid was not built for this moment and that the country needs faster, more coordinated planning while preserving the role of states and regional authorities. Finally, Phillips discusses large loads, behind-the-meter generation, vertically integrated utilities, and the possibility that hyperscalers could become major power generators. He argues that regulators, utilities, and technology companies have an opportunity to work together to build the infrastructure needed for the next era of the American economy.

Dr. Mitch Shulman can be heard every weekday morning at 7:50 on The Andrew Carter Morning Show.

Ever since Donald Trump returned to the White House last year, a big question has loomed over any discussion of global politics: How much of the change he has brought to U.S. foreign policy, and to the international system, will endure beyond this presidential term? Two essays that open the new issue of Foreign Affairs offer different answers to that question. Kurt Campbell and Rush Doshi, two senior officials in the Biden administration, argue that the U.S. alliance system will not just survive Trump but can emerge stronger, even better suited to countering China and its partners. Mark Leonard, the director of the European Council on Foreign Relations, argues that policymakers in allied capitals and beyond must accept that the United States has fundamentally changed—and get ready to survive a more turbulent and contested world.  Dan Kurtz-Phelan wanted to bring Campbell, Doshi, and Leonard together in one conversation to lay out and test these contrasting arguments. They spoke on August 12 about possible futures for U.S. foreign policy—and what those paths mean for a global order built by a very different United States.

Being a human being is an anxious experience, and to calm the fear of uncertainty, we're obsessed with predicting the future. Whether spiraling about changes to the economy, politics, or culture, we're desperate to know what's coming around the corner. In this episode, host Zachary Karabell is joined by Carissa Véliz, philosopher and author of "Prophecy: Prediction, Power, and the Fight for the Future, from Ancient Oracles to AI." They discuss the ways tech executives and AI experts offer predictions for our society that are supposedly inevitable. But what if we refuse to accept these guesses as truth? What if leaning into ambiguity and our own vulnerability makes us better citizens and gives us a true chance to make a better world? Zachary and Carissa discuss the difference between a mindset that is focused on definite outcomes versus a mindset open to the possibilities of different paths and why the latter is crucial to a healthy society. They also dive into Carissa's work on privacy and the pitfalls of unprecedented surveillance and data collection that feed the prediction machines.

Yasir Arafat is the co-founder and CTO of Aalo Atomics, a company developing factory-manufactured modular nuclear power plants designed for AI data centers. Before founding Aalo, Yasir led the MARVEL microreactor program at Idaho National Laboratory. In this episode of Inevitable, Yasir explains how Aalo became one of four U.S. nuclear startups to achieve criticality by the July 4, 2026 deadline. He breaks down what criticality means, why the milestone matters, and how the team went from a small startup to sustaining a nuclear fission chain reaction in less than a year. The conversation explores why Yasir believes nuclear's biggest challenges are speed and economics rather than safety or reliability, and how Aalo is trying to address both through factory-based manufacturing. Yasir also shares how the company built its own reactor building in 36 days, tested its full-scale reactor systems, developed scalable fuel assembly manufacturing, and partnered with Idaho National Laboratory to learn how to operate a real reactor. Finally, Yasir outlines Aalo's path from its zero-power Critical Test Reactor to Aalo-X, a full-powered reactor designed to generate electricity and power a co-located AI data center, and ultimately to the company's commercial Aalo Pod. The discussion also covers DOE demonstration pathways, future NRC licensing, the resurgence of nuclear innovation, and why Yasir believes multiple reactor technologies and companies will be needed to scale nuclear energy. Note: Aalo Atomics is an MCJ portfolio company. Episode recorded on August 6, 2026 (Published on August 18, 2026). In this episode, we cover:  (0:00) An overview of Aalo Atomics (2:00) What criticality means in a nuclear reactor (3:38) Why the July 4 deadline was set and why it mattered (7:07) The final 24 hours before Aalo reached criticality (9:24) How accurately Aalo's reactor matched its physics models (11:43) From the MARVEL microreactor to founding Aalo Atomics (13:56) Why Aalo is focused on nuclear speed and economics (17:05) Why Aalo built a zero-power critical test reactor first (19:01) Building a nuclear reactor building in 36 days (19:21) What Aalo tested beyond the reactor itself (20:53) Building fuel assemblies for the next 100 reactors (23:43) Why organizational readiness matters as much as reactor technology (24:05) Running the CTR and Aalo-X projects in parallel (24:56) Excavating through unexpectedly difficult basalt rock (26:03) The progression from CTR to Aalo-X to the Aalo Pod (29:29) Partnering with turbine suppliers and Crusoe (31:27) The timeline for powering a co-located AI data center (32:09) How DOE authorization supports first-of-a-kind reactor demonstrations (34:01) Moving from DOE demonstrations toward NRC commercial licensing (42:03) Why Aalo is betting on the next generation of sodium-cooled reactors Enjoyed this episode?

Why the AI bubble is bound to burst, the influence of Big Tech and the concept of ‘enshittification’ with tech journalist Cory Doctorow. In today’s episode of Culture Club Chats, we sit down with Canadian-British author, activist, journalist and blogger Cory Doctorow. Cory’s work at the intersection of technology and culture reached new heights following the publication of his 2025 book, Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It. The term ‘enshittification’ was coined by Cory and describes the degradation of online services and platforms like Facebook, Amazon and X in pursuit of profit. In this conversation, Cory unpacks why the AI bubble is bound to burst, how Big Tech has reshaped the internet, and what the future of our increasingly online lives might look like. Cory is coming to Australia this month. He'll be at Sydney’s Festival of Dangerous Ideas from the 22nd to the 23rd of August, and Melbourne’s Now or Never Festival, presented by The Wheeler Centre, on the 25th of August. In Bookmarked, Cory recommends Here Where We Live Is Our Country by Molly Crabapple and Inventing the Renaissance by Ada Palmer.

Fiona Spruill is CEO of Overstory, a company helping electric utilities reduce power outages and wildfire risk using satellite imagery, aerial data, and AI-powered vegetation intelligence. Since joining as employee number 10 and later stepping into the CEO role, Spruill has helped Overstory evolve from a vegetation mapping startup into a resilience platform serving many of North America's largest utilities. In this episode of Inevitable, Spruill explains why vegetation management is one of the largest operating expenses for utilities and how improving grid resilience starts with better risk prioritization—not simply collecting more data. The conversation explores how Overstory combines satellite imagery, computer vision, and customer data to help utilities identify vegetation threats, wildfire fuels, and infrastructure risks before disasters occur. Spruill also discusses selling into the utility industry, the growing importance of resilience as climate risks expand beyond the western U.S., and how the company navigated an extraordinary leadership transition following the loss of co-founder and CEO Indra den Bakker. Note: Overstory is an MCJ portfolio company Episode recorded on July 22, 2026 (Published on August 11, 2026).

Rita Cosby dives headfirst into what she warns is the frightening rise and radicalism of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).The discussion kicks off with a jaw-dropping clip from DSA national co-chair Megan Romer, who defends a controversial pro-Hamas rally in New York and claims the October 7th terrorist attacks were 'largely inevitable'. Rita breaks down the DSA's economic strategy of 'taxing the hell out of millionaires'—revealing a shocking lack of concrete policy math behind the rhetoric.Later, Rita celebrates a massive legal victory for middle-class homeowners as a Staten Island judge temporarily blocks a controversial 'second home tax' championed by the DSA

Colonel Grant Newsham challenges the assumption of inevitable Chinese dominance, labeling it a "fake it till you make it" strategy intended to intimidate foreigners. He points out that China's property market is a "crater" and its currency is not freely convertible, forcing the CCP to aggressively export overcapacity to earn the dollars needed for raw materials. Newsham highlights that over 600 million Chinese citizens live on less than $5 a day, and even the CCP elite, including Xi Jinping, keep wealth overseas as a hedge against the system's future. He argues that China's high-tech focus on AI and robotics does not solve its massive youth unemployment. Newsham concludes that China is a "big power but not a great one," functioning as a "rigged casino" without property rights or the rule of law, which is increasingly deterring foreign direct investment.

Most chronic diseases don't begin in the emergency room—they begin years earlier with subtle warning signs that are often ignored. After 35 years as an emergency room physician, Dr. Kenneth Ro recognized a pattern: high-performing professionals, executives, and athletes often wait until a health crisis forces them to pay attention. Today, his mission is helping people reclaim their health before dysfunction becomes disease. In this episode, Dr. Ro shares his personal health journey after experiencing burnout, hormonal decline, and oxidative stress despite exercising regularly and believing he was doing everything "right." Together, we explore why recovery—not just resilience—is the missing ingredient for longevity, why the nervous system is foundational to metabolism and performance, and how functional testing can uncover hidden dysfunction years before disease develops. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why aging is inevitable—but decline is optional • The hidden cost of chronic stress and under-recovery • Why oxidative stress quietly accelerates aging • How the nervous system influences metabolism, hormones, and resilience • Why testing—not guessing—creates personalized health strategies • Practical habits to build healthspan, energy, and long-term performance If you're committed to thriving in midlife and beyond, this conversation will help you rethink what healthy aging really means—and how to invest in your future before symptoms become disease.

Is now the right time to buy gold and gold stocks—or should investors wait? In this Wealthion interview, veteran resource investor Lobo Tiggre tells Maggie Lake why he sold every one of his gold and silver stock positions, why he refuses to chase the current rally, and the warning signs he believes investors should watch before putting new money to work. While many investors remain bullish on gold, silver, mining stocks, and commodities, Lobo argues that having the right long-term thesis doesn't always mean it's the right time to buy. He explains why market history, investor psychology, and disciplined risk management matter more than fear of missing out. In this interview you'll learn: * Why Lobo Tiggre sold all of his gold and silver stocks * Whether the gold bull market is still intact * The biggest mistakes gold investors make * How to identify warning signs before buying * Why patience can outperform chasing momentum * Gold vs. silver vs. commodity investing * The role of risk management in volatile markets * Why "don't confuse the inevitable with the imminent" is one of the most important investing lessons

Arch Rao is Founder and CEO of SPAN, the company behind the smart electrical panel that has expanded into utility grid management with SPAN Edge and distributed AI infrastructure with XFRA. What began as a smarter way to manage home electricity has evolved into a platform designed to digitize the electric grid, enable mass electrification, and unlock new AI compute capacity using existing residential infrastructure. In this episode of Inevitable, Rao explains why SPAN's vision has grown beyond the home electrical panel, how utilities are using software-defined power management to avoid expensive infrastructure upgrades, and why distributed AI inference could become a new class of digital utility. He also discusses the intersection of electrification, grid modernization, and AI demand, arguing that the next major energy transition is the digitization of the electric grid itself. Note: SPAN is an MCJ portfolio company  Episode recorded on July 8, 2026 (Published on August 4, 2026).

Gaia Vince, author of Nomad Century: How Climate Migration Will Reshape Our World, presents a stark look at the inevitable mass migration caused by a changing climate, which she argues will force billions to move from the tropics to the habitable north this century. She identifies the "four horsemen of the Anthropocene"—fire, heat, flood, and drought—as the primary drivers of this upheaval. Using the example of a Peruvian farmer forced into a Lima slum, Vince illustrates how climate migration is already underway and often results in precarious existences due to a lack of legal pathways. The book advocates for a radical rethinking of borders and global citizenship, suggesting that the global north needs millions of workers to avoid a demographic crisis and support aging populations. Vince proposes a new UN body to manage migration, using quota systems to match migrants with labor needs in expanded northern cities. She envisions a future where biotechnology, vertical farming, and lab-grown meat provide sustainable nutrition for a global population of ten billion. Vince also explores technological solutions for planetary restoration, including geoengineering methods like ocean fertilization with iron and enhanced weathering of rocks to sequester carbon. While acknowledging the controversy of such projects, she argues that decoupling economic growth from environmental destruction is essential for survival. Ultimately, the book is a call for global inclusivity and a planned strategy to make the unavoidable flux of people work to the advantage of all. (3)1783 Australia

As we go through our lives, all the stressors, anxieties, bumps in the road, past traumas all add up and begin to sort of paint us into a corner and sometimes it feels like avoiding them will make them easier to deal with. Out of sight, out of mind...but over time we begin to see that there is no avoiding truth because what tends to happen is instead of avoiding that thing we are pretending doesn't exist, we end of fixating on it. Instead of avoiding the thing, it begins to run our lives in so many unproductive ways. This meditation aims to help gain perspective on this and reminds us that recognizing and acknowledging, much like acknowledging thoughts while in meditation, makes moving on with our lives so much easier.

The Byzantine Empire didn't have to fall—history simply chose differently.The fall of Constantinople in 1453 is often presented as the inevitable end of a decaying empire—but what if that narrative is completely wrong? In this episode of History Rage, historian and author Laura Bolick dismantles one of history's most persistent myths: that the Byzantine Empire was doomed long before the Ottoman cannons fired.Drawing on her book Saving Byzantium: The Struggle to Salvage an Empire, Laura reveals a world full of missed opportunities, fragile alliances, political infighting, and last-minute efforts that nearly changed history. Rather than a slow collapse caused by decadence, the Byzantine story is one of diplomacy, survival, and desperate attempts to rally Western support that very nearly worked.At the heart of this story are two remarkable figures—Cardinal Johannes Bessarion and Isidore of Kiev—who risked everything to secure military aid from Western Europe. Their mission to unite the Orthodox and Catholic Churches was intended to bring the crusading forces that might have saved Constantinople. Incredibly, Ottoman commanders themselves nearly abandoned the siege before a final breakthrough changed the course of history forever.This episode explores the deeper causes behind the fall of Byzantium, including Western complacency, internal European conflicts, and the dangerous assumption that great cities could never truly fall. It's a powerful reminder that history isn't predetermined—it's shaped by decisions, timing, and human choices.In This Episode, We Discuss:Why the fall of Constantinople was not historically inevitableHow Western Europe failed to support Byzantium when it mattered mostThe political and religious tensions between Orthodox and Catholic ChurchesThe role of crusades in late medieval diplomacyHow the Ottomans engineered one of history's most remarkable siegesWhat Byzantium's fall teaches us about modern geopolitical complacencyAbout the GuestLaura Bolick is an art historian and researcher specialising in late medieval Byzantium and Renaissance intellectual culture. Her work focuses on the cultural survival of Byzantium and the figures who fought to preserve its legacy.Book: Saving Byzantium: The Struggle to Salvage an EmpireBuy from the History Rage Bookshop:https://uk.bookshop.org/a/10120/9781398122192(Using this link supports independent bookshops and the podcast.)Follow Laura BolickCheck your preferred bookseller for Saving Byzantium: The Struggle to Salvage an EmpireLook out for talks, articles, and appearances connected to Byzantine and Renaissance historyFollow & Support History RageLove bold historical debate and myth-busting scholarship?

From near-abandoned sieges to failed crusades and shifting alliances, the fate of Constantinople hung on fragile moments and human decisions. Understanding those moments doesn't just reshape medieval history—it challenges how we think about the future. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this Q&A episode, Travis and producer Eric break down a powerful lesson from bestselling author Mark Manson on why discipline isn't about having more willpower—it's about eliminating distractions. Using stories from famous authors like Stephen King, Ian Fleming, and Jack Carr, they explore how changing your environment can dramatically improve focus, productivity, and creative output. If you've ever struggled to stay on task, procrastinated on an important project, or blamed your phone for your lack of focus, this episode offers practical strategies to help you get more meaningful work done. On this episode we talk about: Why environment matters more than willpower when it comes to productivity Mark Manson's "too many options" theory and how distractions sabotage focus Writing routines and productivity habits from Stephen King, Ian Fleming, and Jack Carr Practical ways to eliminate distractions while working from home How procrastination happens—and simple systems to overcome it Top 3 Takeaways Discipline is less about having stronger willpower and more about creating an environment where distractions are removed. Keeping too many options open makes it harder to focus. Closing unnecessary doors often leads to better results. Small, consistent progress beats waiting until the last minute. Build systems that make productive actions the easiest choice. Notable Quotes "You don't have too many distractions—you have too many options." "Set up something for yourself where it's easier to get the work done than it is to not get it done." "Don't shoot yourself in the foot just to see if you can walk."

Most recruiters aren't losing business because they're not good enough.They're losing it because their market has forgotten they exist.In this episode, Terry breaks down why 82% of recruiters say they want to post video content: but only around 12% actually do it consistently.The gap has nothing to do with talent or technology. It's mindset.Using the idea of a "trust bank account," Terry explains how every video you post is a deposit into your market's trust, and every time you go silent, or reach out cold asking for vacancies, you're making a withdrawal from an account you never funded. He unpacks the real reasons recruiters stay invisible ("I don't have time," "I don't know what to say," "it needs to be perfect") and the identity shift required to become the recruiter your niche knows, trusts, and wants to work with.You'll learn:Why visibility beats being the "best" recruiter in your marketThe trust bank account: how to make deposits instead of withdrawalsHow to move from perfection to progress, performance to service, and motivation to identityA simple content system to produce a week of videos in 30 minutesThe exact 45-second video to post in the next 24 hoursIf you run a recruitment or search business and you know you should be posting content but keep putting it off, this one is for you.Recruitment business development, video content for recruiters, personal branding, client acquisition, recruiter positioning, building authority, making more placements.

Kevin Kelly has spent over 30 years experiencing the edge of new technology: from the earliest days of the internet to the first years of Burning Man. But he's always treated the frontier as a place to visit, not somewhere to live. It's partially how he's been able to stay grounded through tech's various hype cycles.As founding executive editor of Wired and author of The Inevitable, Kelly spends as much time analyzing the latest in AI as he does reading about significant moments in history. It's a discipline he traces back to his work with the Long Now Foundation, which he cofounded to encourage long-term thinking, reaching from the last 10,000 years to the next. On this week's AI & I, Dan Shipper revisits his conversation with Kelly. They get into why historians can be the best futurists, and how our bid to understand what intelligence is has parallels with early scientists' attempts to figure out electricity. Kelly also describes the joy he found in creating an AI-generated saga featuring Leonardo Da Vinci, Christopher Columbus, and Martin Luther—one that will only ever be read and enjoyed by him.If you found this episode interesting, please like, subscribe, comment, and share!To hear more from Dan Shipper:Subscribe to Every: https://every.to/subscribeFollow him on X: https://twitter.com/danshipperTimestamps for YouTube:0:00 Start 0:50 Introduction 1:10 Why Dan and Kelly love Annie Dillard 12:52 How to predict the future like Kelly16:10 What the history of electricity can teach us about AI 20:13 How Kelly thinks about the nature of intelligence 25:44 Kelly's advice on discovering your competitive advantage 29:33 How Kelly assembled a bench of star writers for Wired 34:43 How Kelly used ChatGPT to co-create a book 39:12 Using AI as a mirror for your mind 43:43 What Kelly learned from betting on VR in the 1980sLinks to resources mentioned in the episode:Kevin Kelly on X: https://twitter.com/kevin2kellyThe Inevitable by Kevin Kelly: https://www.amazon.com/Inevitable-Understanding-Technological-Forces-Future/dp/0525428089Pilgrim at Tinker Creek by Annie Dillard: https://www.amazon.com/Pilgrim-Tinker-Harper-Perennial-Classics/dp/00612333231,000 True Fans by Kevin Kelly: https://www.amazon.com/1000-True-Fans-Kellys-Simple-ebook/dp/B01N9P9O4GFull episode transcript: https://every.to/podcast/transcript-be243312-ea22-4193-8c56-b9cd45a79a87

Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written by Bro Conrad Hahn, and is brought to us by Bro Brian Ellis, SW – Northern Star #28 ME and PGSD – ME. “Taxation without representation is tyranny.” Americans commonly regard this slogan as the cause of the revolutionary war and the Declaration of Independence. It was, in fact, one of the loudest objections by the colonists, it was but a part of a much larger picture. Here we find an excellent illumination of this larger picture.

Do you work with machines, or for machines? Cory Doctorow, who coined the term “enshittification,” has a new book that asks exactly that. In The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI: How to Think About Artificial Intelligence Before It's Too Late, he challenges the belief that AI is inevitable, explains why tech boosters are pushing this message, and how it leads to companies that are “too big to fail… too big to jail… too big to care.” Cory Doctorow and Oz discuss the economics of a bubble, algorithmic wage discrimination, and what you can do to help save your industry from disruption.
