     ”For the first time in history - less than a decade ago - chronic diseases started killing us more than famine, pestilence, bacteria, viruses, all those things combined.” Yet, despite the suffering of millions, innovation is being strangled by a broken pharmaceutical system where red tape, corporate greed, and bureaucratic middlemen leave patients behind.But what if there's another way? My guest, biotech entrepreneur and humanitarian Lou Reese, believes there is. And he's not just dreaming. Lou is building it. In this conversation, Lou reveals a radical new model for drug development and delivery, one that bypasses Big Pharma, puts patients first, and could bring breakthrough treatments to market faster and at a fraction of the cost.Together, we unpack how Parkinson's patients, just like those with Alzheimer's, are being failed by a system that prioritizes profit over access. And we explore how a bold America First Pharma plan might change that forever.This is a call to action! Because if we don't fight for innovation now, we'll be trapped in the same failing system tomorrow. This is Some Future Day. And that future starts now.Episode Links: Lou on X: https://x.com/NotLouReeseOrder Marc's new book, "Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything"Sign up for the Some Future Day Newsletter here: https://marcbeckman.substack.com/To join the conversation, follow Marc Beckman here: YoutubeLinkedInTwitterInstagramTikTok

    Angelo Zino and Ahmed Khan break down Meta's (META) AI strategy. “Meta's a name you stick with,” Angelo says, arguing there are ways for it to monetize AI. Investors will get more clarity on their AI strategy in the next 6-9 months, he thinks. Ahmed is targeting $770/share for META and is “all for” its huge push into AI spending as long as it improves the core product: digital advertising. However, he warns that Meta has been known to spend in the wrong direction, like with the Metaverse.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

    Welcome to Some Future Day. I'm Marc Beckman and today we're diving deep into the future of artificial intelligence with a visionary entrepreneur who's taking on one of AI's most pressing challenges: bias and racism. John Pasmore, founder and CEO of Latimer, recognized early on that unchecked biases embedded in AI could profoundly affect future generations. Inspired by the realization that his son and millions of others would interact with AI filled with implicit racial biases, John took decisive action to tackle these deep-rooted issues by providing training data that genuinely represents diverse perspectives. In today's conversation, we dive into why Latimer's unique approach - leveraging historical archives, textbooks, and dissertations from black and other overlooked cultures - is essential for an equitable digital future. Stay with us as we discuss the implications of biased AI, the ongoing fight for accurate representation in technology, and how each of us can help shape a fairer, more inclusive future, right here on Some Future Day.Episode Links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jpasmoreInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jpasmore/Latimer: https://www.latimer.ai/Order Marc's new book, "Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything"Sign up for the Some Future Day Newsletter here: https://marcbeckman.substack.com/To join the conversation, follow Marc Beckman here: YoutubeLinkedInTwitterInstagramTikTok

    Episode #121 - In this episode of the Awakened Heart Podcast, I'm thrilled to welcome Ron Bienvenu—a man I've known personally for years and who never fails to challenge the status quo. From our first meeting at The Whaler in Venice Beach to visits in New Orleans, Ron's unique perspective on life and technology has always inspired me.Ron's new book, The Fifth Shock, serves as a philosophical wake-up call addressing the profound shifts happening in our world today. In our conversation, we explore the complex relationship between spirituality, artificial intelligence, and the future of humanity. Ron is the Founder and Managing Partner of Noetic Investment Partners, with over 40 years of experience in technology and finance. He's been instrumental in shaping the way companies approach data and AI, especially through his work in data assetization—turning data into a capital-grade asset.Ron discusses how AI is transforming human identity, the critical need for economic innovations like Universal Behavioral Income, and the moral responsibilities we face with advancing technology. He advocates for the integration of human wisdom into AI systems and a digital Bill of Rights to safeguard individual freedom in a rapidly evolving digital era. Beyond the intellectual discussion, Ron shares a deeply personal story about his daughter, a storm in Tulum, and a poignant poem that encapsulates resilience and courage.This episode blends cutting-edge ideas with heartfelt storytelling—a must-listen for anyone curious about the future of technology, spirituality, and human sovereignty.TakeawaysThe conversation explores the awakening to spirituality and AI.Wisdom is essential in the age of AI.Humanity must navigate the challenges posed by AI.The need for a Universal Behavioral Income is highlighted.AI should enhance human agency, not replace it.Geopolitical implications of digital power are significant.Data is becoming the most valuable asset in the modern economy.Consciousness may be the key to understanding the universe.Moral implications of AI must be addressed.  Machines rely on human creativity and authenticity.Innovation's value is declining due to rapid replication.Congress has become ineffective in governance.The media has compromised its integrity for profit.A grassroots revolution is necessary for change.Parenting can instill strength and independence in children.Life lessons can be learned through shared experiences.Mediocrity should be avoided in pursuit of greatness.The meaning of life is a profound question worth exploring.Sound Bite"How do we navigate this?""My voice is my whip.""Mediocrity is a disease."Chapters00:00 Introduction and Personal Connection01:48 Awakening to Spirituality and AI05:30 The Human Experience vs. AI08:46 Data Sovereignty and Behavioral Income12:20 The Future of AI and Human Agency15:47 Geopolitical Implications of Digital Rights19:32 The Evolution of Wealth and Value22:45 The Broken Accounting System and Change26:11 Spirituality and the Path Forward30:34 The Devil's Bargain: A Reflection on Spirituality31:26 The Metaverse and Voluntary Extinction32:16 Preserving Human Consciousness in a Digital Age35:58 The Intersection of Technology, Philosophy, and Spirituality37:33 Consciousness as the Fifth Element38:47 Spiritual Recursion and Algorithmic Logic42:34 Moral Constructs in a Digital World46:29 The Homogenization of Beauty and Authenticity49:24 Innovation and the Value of Networks53:07 Disappointment in Governance and Media56:34 Global Political Landscape and the Call for Change01:01:12 A Stormy Journey: Father-Daughter Bonding and Life Lessons01:10:27 Empowerment Through Authenticity and Courage01:14:35 Navigating the Future: Technology, Sovereignty, and Human ConnectionConnect with Ron:linkedinInstagram Facebook XThe Fifth ShockXIG FacebookLet's Connect!⁠Website⁠Instagram FacebookYoutubeRumble⁠Tik Tok⁠Linkedin

    Welcome to Future Commerce Rewind, where we compare stories in commerce today to episodes from the archives. This week, we're playing back VISIONS speaker Justin Breton's 2024 episode on Walmart Realm.When Walmart entered immersive digital experiences, it wasn't chasing hype—it was rethinking how the brand shows up in everyday digital life. In this rewind from August 2024, Justin Breton, Director of Brand Experiences, shares how Walmart Realm launched as a gamified marketplace blending culture, commerce, and creativity.Since then, Walmart has scaled its virtual ambitions with “Walmart Discovered” on Roblox, real-world commerce in gaming, and the debut of “Walmart Unlimited.” What began as an experiment is now central to Walmart's immersive commerce strategy.CTRL+ALT+CARTKey takeaways:Walmart Realm was never about conversions; it was about discovery. Today, Walmart's investments in platforms like Roblox and Spatial have validated that focus, with real-world commerce now integrated directly into those ecosystems.Justin avoided the term "metaverse," even when it was a buzzword. Instead, his team focused on familiarity and ritual, and that framing holds up. The strategy now connects digital shoppers with creators, brands, and immersive experiences they already love.Walmart has scaled its creator-driven experiences, including collaborations with Drew Barrymore and Netflix, helping drive co-created virtual spaces that reflect real-world partnerships.The early embrace of immersive storytelling now informs Walmart's content commerce and livestreaming efforts, with shoppable moments and branded narrative arcs that feel more like cultural touchpoints than retail plays.With new initiatives like Walmart Unlimited and its expanded Spatial footprint, Walmart is setting the stage for a generation of consumers who see shopping as play, story, and community.Justin joined the lineup of speakers at VISIONS Summit: NYC this summer.

    Antisemitism isn't just rising in America, it's exploding. And while our institutions hesitate, the attacks are getting louder, deadlier, and more brazen. Just this spring, during Passover, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's home was targeted in an arson attack while he and his family were asleep inside. Soon thereafter, a young Jewish couple was murdered in cold blood in Washington, D.C. Their only crime? Being Jewish.And in Boulder, Colorado, an Egyptian national terrorist launched a brutal assault using Molotov cocktails and a flamethrower on a group of Jewish people who were peacefully assembled to support the Israeli hostages. The attack injured an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor, plus 11 other individuals.The question is no longer whether antisemitism exists. The question is: Why is America tolerating it? On today's episode of Some Future Day, I sit down with Robert Spencer, scholar, historian, and author of the new book “Antisemitism: History and Myth.” Together we trace the ancient roots of Jew hatred, explore how Islamic extremism and Western academia are feeding the flames, and confront the role social media and influencers are playing in amplifying the world's oldest hatred. This conversation is raw, necessary, and deeply unsettling. But it's one we can't avoid. If we stay silent now, the future of Jews in America could mirror the darkest chapters of our past.Episode Links:Website: https://jihadwatch.org/X: https://x.com/jihadwatchRSInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jihadwatch.robertspencer/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JihadWatchVideo"Antisemitism: History and Myth" by Robert Spencer: https://a.co/d/12lfxyEOrder Marc's new book, "Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything"Sign up for the Some Future Day Newsletter here: https://marcbeckman.substack.com/To join the conversation, follow Marc Beckman here: YoutubeLinkedInTwitterInstagramTikTok

    The Secret Laws of Reselling: IP Rights in Secondary Markets

    Ever wondered what happens when your right to resell clashes with someone else's trademark? The secondary market is booming—from luxury perfumes to used hard drives and even virtual farm animals—but these second lives come with surprising legal complications.Secondary markets aren't just about thrift store finds anymore. They're complex ecosystems where intellectual property law determines what you can truly do with the things you've purchased. Through a global tour of fascinating court cases, we unpack the legal principles that govern reselling, refurbishing, and reimagining products across physical and digital realms.In Norway, a phone repair shop learned the hard way that erasing Apple logos from replacement screens doesn't erase their legal obligations. Meanwhile, in India, courts embraced refurbished Seagate hard drives as sustainability wins. The digital world presents even thornier questions—can you resell an e-book like a paperback? (Spoiler: European courts say no.) And what about those $133,000 "MetaBirkin" NFTs that landed an artist in hot water with Hermès?From Brazilian video game importers to Italian pharmaceutical repackagers, we explore how trademark exhaustion works differently across borders. You'll discover why Chanel fights so hard to control where its perfumes are sold, how Zynga protected its virtual cows from unauthorized trading, and what happens when Finnish axes travel from North America to the Czech Republic without permission.Whether you're flipping consoles, fixing phones, or minting NFTs of luxury handbags, understanding these landmark cases could save you from accidental infringement. Secondary markets provide real benefits—reducing waste and extending product lifecycles—but navigating them legally requires knowing when ownership ends and intellectual property begins.Subscribe to Intangiblia for more plain talk about complex IP issues that affect everyday transactions in our increasingly digital marketplace.

    La línea entre lo que compramos y lo que realmente poseemos nunca ha sido tan difusa. Sumergimos nuestras mentes en el fascinante y complejo mundo de los mercados secundarios, ese territorio donde los productos usados encuentran nuevas manos y donde las leyes de propiedad intelectual trazan fronteras invisibles pero poderosas.¿Alguna vez te has preguntado si realmente puedes hacer lo que quieras con ese perfume de lujo que compraste? ¿O si es legal revender tus libros electrónicos? ¿Qué hay de esas NFTs inspiradas en marcas famosas? A través de nueve casos judiciales apasionantes, desentrañamos las complejidades legales que definen qué puedes y qué no puedes hacer con tus productos una vez que los has adquirido.Desde el caso de Apple contra un taller noruego que usaba pantallas con logos borrados hasta la batalla de Hermes contra los "Meta Birkins", pasando por importaciones paralelas de perfumes Chanel y medicamentos reetiquetados, este episodio te llevará en un viaje por las fronteras legales del comercio secundario. Descubrirás cómo el agotamiento de marca y la doctrina de primera venta funcionan de manera diferente según el país, el producto y el contexto.Lo más fascinante es cómo el mundo digital ha complicado aún más esta ecuación. ¿Sabías que no puedes revender legalmente tus e-books en Europa? ¿O que tus vacas virtuales en juegos como Farmville están protegidas por derechos de autor? Las reglas cambian cuando pasamos de lo físico a lo digital, creando un paisaje legal tan dinámico como desafiante.Comparte este episodio con colegas y amigos interesados en entender mejor los límites legales de la reventa y suscríbete para no perderte nuestras próximas exploraciones por el fascinante mundo de la propiedad intelectual.

    Today we expose the brutal truth about Vladimir Putin, Russia, and Ukraine. My guest is Ambassador Georgette Mosbacher, former US ambassador to Poland and one of the few people alive who has seen how deep Russia's propaganda war really goes. She reveals how Putin didn't just invade Ukraine with soldiers, he invaded with disinformation, AI and psychological warfare, and we let him. We talk about American weakness, European cowardice, and why the Biden administration gave Ukraine just enough to survive, but never enough to win.Ambassador Mosbacher doesn't hold back. She says if she had been negotiating with Putin, she would've bombed Moscow, and then called to say, “Don't take it personally, Vladimir!”She says America has been asleep while our enemies build influence campaigns, turn social media into weapons, and use artificial intelligence to destabilize democracies. We dig into the lies, the missed opportunities, and the question no one in power can answer: What does winning even look like? This episode is not comfortable, it's not polite, and it is urgent.

    This week on Some Future Day, I had the honor of sitting down with two absolute legends: Lil Eazy-E, the son of iconic Eazy-E, and the one and only DJ Yella of N.W.A. We talked about the origins of hip hop: the real, raw, revolutionary movement that changed American culture and the world. How N.W.A. became a voice for the streets when no one else would listen. How music at one point carried the soul of the people and how much of that soul has gone missing. Today, Yella told me flat out, music's gotten fake. Artificial. AI is writing lyrics, mixing beats, and erasing the human experience. But Lil Eazy-E had a different take. What if he could use AI to bring back his father's voice? Not to fake the legacy, but to honor it. We explored that thin line between innovation and exploitation and asked, can AI ever replace authenticity or is something irreplaceable lost when machines take the mic? We didn't stop there. We talked about politics, race, legacy, and the need for respect between generations. We talked about the launch of their new Hip Hop Hot Sauce, international tours, and what it means to be from Compton and to make it out.This episode isn't just about music. It's about the future of culture, technology, storytelling, and soul.

    What if I told you the next generation isn't watching, they're playing? On this episode of Some Future Day, I sit down with Matt Edelman, the newly named CEO of Super League, a company connecting brands with over a billion gamers across Roblox, Fortnite, and Minecraft. We're not talking about ads; we're talking about worlds. Branded quests. Digital sneakers. In-game burrito giveaways that break mobile app records. This is marketing like you've never seen before! Matt shares how Gen Z is spending more time gaming than on YouTube and TikTok combined, and how brands are finally waking up to it.  We get into the big stats - $50 billion in gaming and revenue; 3.3 billion players globally. And how a teenage girl created a hit game that rivals fashion runways in Roblox. I know: my daughter and her friends are totally addicted! Why should brands risk leaving the safety of TikTok or YouTube? We even talk about AI, mobile gaming, and the missed opportunity fashion brands are facing right now by not jumping into this space. If you want to understand where marketing, gaming, and digital culture are headed, this is the episode that you cannot miss!

    Lex chats with Jamie Burke - founder of Outlier Ventures, about the current state and future of Web3, decentralized finance, and the metaverse. Jamie highlights Outlier Ventures' impressive growth, with a portfolio of around 400 startups, and discusses successful projects like IOTA and Fetch.ai. The conversation delves into the open metaverse, emphasizing the importance of infrastructure and middleware in blending physical and digital realities. Jamie also explores the transformative role of AI in the metaverse and offers practical advice for entrepreneurs navigating this rapidly evolving landscape. Notable discussion points: 1.The “Post-Web” Is an Intent-Led Internet: Jamie Burke outlines a shift from today's attention-based web to an intent-driven internet, powered by AI agents, Web3 infrastructure, and DePIN. In this model, agents act on user intent, radically streamlining interactions and replacing much of today's web interface. 2. Web3 Will Be Run by Machines, Not People: Burke predicts that autonomous agents—not humans—will become the primary users of blockchains, making crypto “machine money.” As a result, products, brands, and processes matter less, while incentive systems and on-chain automation take center stage. 3. Founders Must Embrace Systems Thinking: In the Post-Web era, survival depends on designing self-optimizing systems, not just building products. Burke stresses that token engineering, incentive design, and value flow mapping will define the next generation of durable startups. MENTIONED IN THE CONVERSATION Topics: Web3, decentralized finance, metaverse, Open metaverse, Post web, Outlier Ventures, IOTA, Fetch.ai, accelerator program, AI, artificial intelligence, Agentic AI, agents, Web3, post-web, digital economy, blockchain technology ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT
