A CMO Confidential Interview with Andy Sack and Adam Brotman, Co-Founders and Co-CEO's of Forum 3, authors of the book AI First, previously at Microsoft and Starbucks. Adam and Andy discuss the exponential growth of LLM's in the 3 years since the Chat GPT launch, the rapid pace of consumer adoption and "why there's never been a bigger prize in capitalism." Key topics include: why the circular tie-ups between the models and chip providers may make sense, their belief that only 5% of companies are well underway; why you should use AI at least 10 times a day; and how the "current way of doing business" is the biggest blocker to progress. Tune in to hear 2026 predictions, why you should have a "family password," and how an AI Zoom scam resulted in a $20 million loss for the company. AI: The Year That Changed Marketing | Andy Sack & Adam Brotman on CMO ConfidentialFormer Starbucks Chief Digital Officer Adam Brotman and investor/operator Andy Sack return to break down AI's wild 2025—and what's next for marketers and the C-suite in 2026. We cover the rise of reasoning models and agents, chip-and-model tie-ups, who's winning (and who's falling behind), why only ~5% of companies are truly “underway,” and how consumer behavior is racing ahead of most enterprises. Adam and Andy deliver pragmatic guidance for boards, CEOs, and CMOs: where to lean in, how to organize, and what to build now.What you'll learn:• The real story on model advances, agents, and the chip/energy bottlenecks• Why supply-lock deals aren't “circular nonsense” and how they'll shape winners/losers• Enterprise reality check: 5% vs. 95%, and why CEO/board sponsorship determines lift-off• Consumer adoption, zero-click search, and how discovery is shifting under your feet• Marketing beyond efficiency: ideation, synthetic testing, and creative at production speed• 2026 predictions: Apple's big AI move, the year of consumer agents, and new AI devices• Risk & resilience: deepfake fraud, the “family password,” and change management that sticksActionable takeaways:• Use AI 10×/day; turn on voice and select a “thinking/reasoning” model for complex work• Treat AI as a company-wide transformation, not an IT pilot; pick a few high-value use cases and own them from the top• Experiment with agentic workflows and AI video to compress cycle time from storyboard to launchSponsored by @typefaceai Typeface helps the world's biggest brands go from brief to fully personalized, on-brand campaigns in hours—not months.

Chris Cuomo warns that America's outrage cycle isn't slowing down — it's speeding up. From politics to social media, anger has become the new currency, and both sides are cashing in. As division deepens and distrust spreads, Cuomo explains why the system now rewards conflict over cooperation, and why that means things are going to get worse before they get better. He breaks down what it would take to rebuild decency and stop mistaking constant combat for civic engagement. Because if outrage keeps paying, everyone loses. Then, Cuomo checks the Kalshi prediction markets for who's leading the 2028 Democratic field and whether Trump could run for a third term.

Chris Cuomo breaks down how the looming government shutdown and economic frustration are shaping the midterm elections — from tariffs and health care costs to the political messaging war over who's to blame. He looks at what's really driving voters' anger and why both parties are struggling to connect with the middle. Cuomo also examines how Kalshi's political betting markets are tracking the race in real time, showing where the smart money thinks control of Congress could land. With inflation stubborn, wages lagging, and families squeezed, Cuomo argues that the real election issue isn't ideology — it's survival.

Crypto has spent years obsessing over tokens, airdrops, and speculation. But what about the unsexy businesses actually making money? Arthur Hayes and Adam Schlegel join Laura Shin to talk about Maelstrom's $250M private equity fund targeting crypto's most profitable, yet overlooked, companies, $50M revenue businesses with 50% margins that VCs can't touch and exchanges won't pay cash for. But while everyone frames this as just another fund, Hayes and Schlegel argue it's actually the missing piece in crypto's maturation: a cash buyer for founders who've done their time and want out without four-year earnouts. Plus: Why Asian crypto companies with monster margins get ignored by Western capital. Thank you to our sponsors!

Text and Be HeardThe headlines scream NBA arrests and rigged poker tables, but the bigger plot twist sits under the surface: the gambling world is reshaping itself around prediction markets that turn everything into a simple yes or no. We pull back the curtain on player prop fraud, how sportsbooks flag suspicious patterns with supercomputers, and why “easy money” is usually a story we tell ourselves when emotion outruns judgment. From faked injuries to abnormal betting spikes, we break down how these schemes unravel and why the logic never pencils out.Then we widen the lens. Organized poker games with tech-assisted reads show what happens when the playing field isn't fair. That lesson scales to modern betting platforms where incentives are invisible and the edge rarely sits with the player. The real momentum is flowing to event-based markets: elections, weather, sports, and cultural moments—all framed as clean binary choices. It feels like forecasting, but the engagement loop looks like gambling with better branding. That's why major sportsbooks are partnering with exchanges and acquiring startups—to keep liquidity, fees, and attention inside their ecosystem.We talk openly about money, recovery, and the psychology that turns micro-bets into daily habits. If your EQ lags your IQ, you won't outthink a trigger; you'll need guardrails that protect your time, cash, and focus. This is a candid look at where betting is going, how the industry nudges you toward more action, and what it takes to walk away with your peace—and your wallet—intact. If this resonates, share it with someone who needs a clear-eyed perspective on gambling's new face, and hit follow to stay with us as we map the incentives shaping your choices.Support the showRecovery is Beautiful.

Robert Weissman (Co-President, Public Citizen) joins Chris Cuomo following the No Kings protests of October 18, 2025 — a nationwide movement that drew an estimated five to seven million people across more than 2,700 U.S. cities in what organizers call the largest single-day protest in American history. As one of the event's lead organizers, Weissman explains how Public Citizen, the progressive consumer-advocacy group founded by Ralph Nader, helped mobilize Americans around the message that no president — not even Donald Trump — stands above the law. Cuomo and Weissman discuss what the protests reveal about public frustration with corruption, corporate influence, and creeping authoritarianism — and whether people power can still shape policy in a second Trump term. Weissman argues that mass protest is only the beginning of a longer fight for accountability. Plus, Chris looks at the Maine Senate race between Republican Susan Collins and Democrat Graham Platner — and how Kalshi's betting markets reflect growing doubt about Platner's future in the race and Collins's fading prospects as Democrats hold an edge for Senate control.

Former National Security Advisor John Bolton has been indicted on 18 counts tied to classified documents — a case that underscores how far the Trump administration's Justice Department is willing to go to target former insiders. Chris Cuomo breaks down what's behind the indictment, why the evidence may not hold up, and what it reveals about how “lawfare” has become the weapon of choice in American politics. From selective prosecutions to the politics of revenge, Chris explains how the Bolton case blurs the line between accountability and retribution — and why that distinction matters for every future administration. He also looks at how the Kalshi betting markets are reacting to the indictment, what those odds suggest about who might be next, and why American justice is increasingly being treated like a political wager.
