The platform, led by CEO Paul Allen, uses AI to create a personalized, nonpartisan newsfeed that makes it easier than ever to monitor public officials and engage in civic issues.Paul explained, “We redesigned the site to literally use AI to detect every important topic discussed in every government meeting.” By analyzing over 1.3 million hours of public meetings, Citizen Portal generates bite-sized articles on key issues, giving users a consumable, easy-to-navigate interface resembling a news site.This shift has been a game-changer. Paul shared that the platform has attracted nearly a million users this year alone. The tool addresses a growing demand for transparency and accountability in government while filling a void created by the decline of local newspapers.Unlike platforms driven by ad revenue or partisan agendas, Citizen Portal operates on a subscription model designed to empower its users. “There's no spin, no partisan bias, and no kind of echo chamber,” Paul said. Instead, the platform's algorithm, called BRAIN, tailors content to users' locations and interests, ensuring relevance.Citizen Portal's mission is ambitious yet essential. Paul envisions a world where “it'll be a thousand times easier to become an informed and engaged citizen.” The platform not only provides insights into local schools, city councils, and state legislatures, but also offers actionable steps for users to make their voices heard.For those interested in supporting this social impact initiative, Citizen Portal is raising capital through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign. This funding will allow the company to expand its reach and enhance its technology.Paul's vision is clear: to strengthen democracy by making civic engagement easier and more effective. With Citizen Portal, we can all stay informed, get involved, and make a difference in our communities.tl;dr:Citizen Portal uses AI to transform 1.3 million hours of government meetings into actionable news.The platform fills the gap left by declining local newspapers with nonpartisan, customizable newsfeeds.Paul's vision is to empower citizens and policymakers with tools for informed engagement.Citizen Portal is raising capital through regulated crowdfunding to expand its impact and technology.Paul's superpower, insatiable curiosity, drives his passion for creating tools that make information accessible.How to Develop Insatiable Curiosity As a SuperpowerPaul described his superpower as a deep passion for learning and gathering information. “I just have an insatiable curiosity for finding content in libraries, researching archives, [and] finding hidden gems,” he explained. This natural drive to consume and organize information has fueled his success, from co-founding Ancestry.com to leading Citizen Portal. He combines his love of learning with a knack for turning chaotic data into meaningful tools that empower others.Paul shared how his superpower helped him build Citizen Portal. He and his team analyzed millions of hours of government meeting records, transforming vast, fragmented data into actionable, AI-generated newsfeeds. His love for gathering information and creating order enabled him to design a platform that empowers citizens to monitor local governance and engage more effectively.Tips for Developing CuriosityIdentify and lean into your natural strengths using tools like the Clifton Strengths Assessment.Focus on areas that energize and excite you rather than trying to emulate others' strengths.Gather and organize information in ways that help others, amplifying the impact of your efforts.Pursue learning as a lifelong habit by reading, researching, and staying curious about the world.By following Paul's example and advice, you can make insatiable curiosity a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfilePaul Allen (he/him):CEO & Board Member, Citizen PortalAbout Citizen Portal: Citizen Portal is a non-partisan, AI-powered platform, with $426,200 in pre-seed funding and a seasoned leadership team, aiming to revolutionize civic engagement, revive government transparency, and transform American democracy. Citizen Portal is on a mission to transform democracy with an AI-powered approach. We are reshaping civic engagement and education by providing Americans with up-to-date, accurate, newsworthy information straight from the source. Citizen Portal utilizes AI to index, transcribe, and summarize meetings and hearings at all levels of government. By providing access to video recordings of school boards, local, state, and federal meetings, Citizen Portal helps to empower citizens, journalists, and advocates to know what is being said by their elected officials and done in their government.Website: citizenportal.aiCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093227401453Other URL: startengine.com/citizenportalBiographical Information: Paul Allen is a visionary tech entrepreneur and evangelist driven by a desire to help individuals live their best lives.Paul has founded eight companies. He calls himself a “platform entrepreneur” since his products are usually built on top of the latest tech platform or wave, such as CD ROM, the World Wide Web, mp3 audio, or Facebook. For the past several years, Paul's focus has been using machine learning and artificial intelligence to help individuals and organizations reach their full potential.In 1990, Paul founded Infobases, whose mission was to digitize and publish the world's most important books on CD ROM with a full-text search engine. This endeavor led directly to Ancestry.com—Paul's best known company—which sought to gather and publish the world's genealogy records, family trees, and memories on the internet to enable everyone to discover their heritage. Over 100 million people have learned about their family history at Ancestry.com.Paul's teams have a history of building viral products. MyFamily.com (1998) attracted millions of users, and for a time, was the fastest growing online community on the web as well as the top photo sharing site in 2000 and 2001. Paul's We're Related app on Facebook (2007-2010) gained more than 120 million users in two and a half years. From 2012 to 2017, Paul worked with Gallup to promote the StrengthsFinder assessment (now called CliftonStrengths) from the Washington, DC headquarters. As the “Global Strengths Evangelist,” Paul helped increase online purchases of the assessment and supported a global community of strengths coaches. Today, more than 30 million people have taken the CliftonStrengths assessment. Paul's most recent creation is Soar.com, a company whose mission—once again—is to uplift humanity. Paul is a strong advocate for using AI in positive ways, specifically to enable individuals to become the best version of themselves. When excellent training is paired with AI generated feedback on actual performance, leaders, managers, founders, and individual contributors can achieve excellence faster than ever before. Soar is an AI Studio that will form more than fifteen separate corporations to bring PURE AI (Personalized Uplifting Responsible Ethical AI) to many fields, including education, faith, government, health, finance, medicine, law, family history, and the workplace. Eventually, Soar will enable people to build and customize their own AI assistant (think of Jarvis from Iron Man or Janet from The Good Place) to help them learn, grow, make better decisions, and maximize their time on Earth. Paul's influence extends beyond entrepreneurship. He's a sought-after keynote speaker and workshop facilitator, teaching the importance of family stories and personal strengths in shaping one's identity. A lifelong learner, Paul has amassed a vast library of thousands of books. In fact, Paul's dedication to learning extends to his teaching roles in Internet Marketing and Entrepreneurship at Utah Valley University and Brigham Young University. He's received numerous accolades, including Ernst & Young Utah Entrepreneur of the Year in 2000 and MarketingSherpa National Entrepreneur of the Year in 2008. Paul is a fellow of the Utah Genealogical Association and was named a Cyber Pioneer in 2010 by the Cyber Law Section of the Utah State Bar. In 2016, he was the honored alumnus of the BYU Humanities College, having graduated in 1990 with a BA in Russian. Most recently, Paul has been featured on The Pulse of AI, The Briefing with Steve Scully, The Business of Learning, and The Adventures in Machine Learning podcasts.Paul and his wife, Christy, reside in Missouri. They have 8 adult children and 5 grandchildren.X/Twitter Handle: @paulballenPersonal Facebook Profile: facebook.com/paulallenLinkedin: linkedin.com/in/paulballenInstagram Handle: @paulallendcSupport Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

Global Markets Receive A Jolt After Trump Tehran Warning

President Donald Trump called for the evacuation of Iran’s capital Tehran on Monday, hours after he urged the country’s leadership to sign a deal to limit its nuclear program and Israel signaled strikes would continue. It wasn’t clear if Trump knew of a fresh round of attacks Israel may have planned for the city, which has a population of more than 9 million people. Israel had earlier warned one Tehran neighborhood to evacuate and video showed massive traffic jams as people sought to escape. Soon after Trump’s post, Iran’s Fars news agency reported several explosions east of the city. For more, we heard from Middle East Analyst and Author Rodger Shanahan. He spoke to Bloomberg's Paul Allen and Shery Ahn. Plus- President Trump's comments on evacuating Tehran caused a jolt in global markets, with US futures falling and oil prices rising almost 2%. Despite earlier optimism that the conflict between Israel and Iran wouldn't escalate, Trump's comments contrasted with his earlier statement that Iran wanted to make a deal.

Left-leaning challenger Lee Jae-myung won South Korea's presidential election, ending three years of conservative rule in a race that was largely a verdict on his ousted predecessor's botched attempt to revive martial law in the longstanding US ally. Lee, a former labor activist, won Tuesday's election with 49.4% of the vote, a comfortable win over Kim Moon-soo of the incumbent People Power Party, according to the final count released by the National Election Commission. The agency, which said voter turnout reached a 28-year high of 79.4%, officially declared Lee as the nation's 21st president at 6:21 a.m. local time on Wednesday. We get more on what's ahead from Rachel Minyoung Lee, Senior Fellow at the Stimson Center's Korea Program. She speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Paul Allen. Plus - Asian stocks rose for the first time in four days after data showed the US labor market is holding up despite concerns President Donald Trump's tariff war is pushing the world economy into a downturn. Just days ahead of the US payrolls report, an unexpected increase in job openings buoyed market sentiment, sending the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 higher. That helped offset investor angst after the Paris-based OECD said Trump's combative trade policies have tipped the world economy into a downturn, with the US among the hardest hit.

The announcement that Paul Allen's estate is open for business and that the Trail Blazers are finally for sale sets off a domino effect in Portland, both for the team and for the city. What comes next? Who buys the team now that Phil Knight has taken himself out of the running? Is there even the faintest possibility that a new owner could try to relocate the team? Those are the big questions debated by hosts Bill Oram and Brenna Greene on this week's episode of the Oregonian Sports Podcast. Among the topics discussed: • Reaction to the announcement that Jody Allen is preparing to sell • Why Phil Knight sitting on the sidelines shouldn't be a surprise • The impact of the draft lottery on the Blazers' ability to build a winning team • The lottery isn't rigged, but it does feel stacked against the teams that need luck the most Learn more about your ad choices.

India's government said it conducted targeted military strikes against Pakistan early Wednesday, a widely anticipated move after it pledged retaliation for a militant attack last month in Kashmir that killed 26 people. Pakistan said it shot down five Indian airplanes in retaliation. The downing of the jets are not "hostile acts" and Pakistan was defending its territory, according to the country's Defense Minister, Khawaja Muhammad Asif. He speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Paul Allen. Plus - US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer will travel to Switzerland later this week for trade talks with China led by Vice Premier He Lifeng, jump-starting negotiations between the two nations. The visit was announced in statements Tuesday from the Chinese and US governments. It will be the first confirmed trade talks between the countries since President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs, led by punishing levies on China.

US equity futures rallied Thursday on stronger-than-expected tech earnings and signs the Trump administration may be close to announcing the first round of trade deals to reduce planned tariffs. The advance for US futures came after the S&P 500 erased an intraday drop of more than 2% Wednesday to close 0.2% higher. Shares in Japan and Australia both edged lower Thursday. A number of markets are shut for holidays across Asia including Mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore and India. Meantime, the outcome of Australia's tight federal election could be the next catalyst for local assets as a tariff standoff between the US and China continues to rattle markets. We preview Saturday's federal election with Bloomberg's Paul Allen in Sydney. Plus - contracts for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 both gained at least 0.9%, helped by a post-market rally for Microsoft Corp. and Meta Platforms Inc. following their bullish corporate results.

Officials from Japan and South Korea are slated to begin trade negotiations with the United States this week. Early Monday, China's Ministry of Commerce said it firmly opposes any party reaching a deal at the expense of China’s interests.

We're trading poisoned apples for reservations at Dorsia (try the Sea Urchin Ceviche) as we discuss: How American Psycho satirized toxic masculinity, consumer culture, and Wall Street excess with a killer smile. Does Patrick Bateman still hold up as a character—or has society caught up with his brand of narcissistic nihilism? Is the film's horror in the violence… or in the soulless perfection? How American Psycho explores identity, superficiality, and the slippery slope of sanity. Which character we'd most likely be cast as – and who's definitely the Paul Allen of the group. Is American Psycho misunderstood because of its violence, or revered because of how it frames it? This film gives us a chance to talk about two concepts we touched on last week: unreliable narrators and what exactly makes a character a protagonist Speaking of complaints—what about the other men in Bateman's world? Are they any better? We've got questions about how soundproof the apartments by the park are that they don't hear chainsaws in hallways We talk about whether all traditional masculinity is essentially toxic and Liam discusses his need for closure Last week one of us made a prediction about the other's likely verdict on the film.

De la création de Microsoft à l'ère Trump qui risque de bouleverser l'économie de la tech, nous revenons sur 50 ans d'histoire de l'informatique. Créée le 4 avril 1975 par Bill Gates et Paul Allen, Microsoft a forgé l'histoire de l'informatique personnelle. Entre héritage, erreurs stratégiques (comme l'échec de Windows Phone) et réinvention sous l'impulsion de Satya Nadella, Microsoft incarne une transformation réussie, jusqu'à devenir aujourd'hui un leader de l'intelligence artificielle avec son investissement précoce dans OpenAI.Dans la seconde partie de l'épisode, nous revenons sur la déclaration fracassante de Donald Trump à propos des droits de douane. Conséquences potentielles : une hausse du prix des produits, notamment Apple, en raison d'une remise en cause des chaînes d'approvisionnement en Asie du Sud-Est. Quelles conséquences aussi sur les prix des logiciels américains en Europe ?-----------

When Bill Gates and Paul Allen launched a small software company in Albuquerque, they had no idea they were igniting a revolution that would reshape not just technology—but economics, education, and even politics. We unpack how the founding of Microsoft reflected a broader shift in American innovation and ambition during the mid-70s. How did a startup on the edge of the desert signal a shift in power—from Washington and Wall Street to Silicon Valley and the world of code?

Le 4 avril 2025 marque le 50e anniversaire de Microsoft, une entreprise qui a profondément façonné l'histoire de l'informatique. Dans cet épisode, retour sur les grandes étapes de cette success story hors normes, des débuts modestes à Albuquerque à l'hégémonie mondiale.Tout commence en 1975, lorsque deux jeunes passionnés, Bill Gates et Paul Allen, lancent Micro-Soft pour développer un langage de programmation destiné à l'Altair 8800, l'un des tout premiers micro-ordinateurs. Leur intuition géniale : parier sur l'ordinateur personnel.On revient sur les moments clés : le deal historique avec IBM pour MS-DOS, la révolution Windows 95 et le passage au tout-logiciel avec la suite Office. L'épisode aborde aussi les échecs notables — du Zune à Windows Vista — qui n'ont pas empêché l'entreprise de se réinventer à chaque fois.Aujourd'hui, Microsoft est un acteur majeur du cloud et de l'IA, avec Azure et Copilot, sous la direction de Satya Nadella. Plus discret, Bill Gates se consacre désormais à sa fondation, mais son rêve d'un ordinateur dans chaque foyer s'est largement réalisé… non sans poser de nouvelles questions de souveraineté technologique.-----------

50 years ago, on Friday, April 4th 1975, two guys from Seattle launched a software company in a strip mall in Albuquerque NM.. That business would soon relocate to Redmond, Washington… and those Lakeside kids, Bill Gates and Paul Allen, did all right. The Windows operating system would go on to dominate the personal computer industry. Today, Microsoft is one of the most profitable companies in the world. And its presence laid the groundwork for the Puget Sound region as a hub for engineering and technical talent. The path to where we are now had some bumps: Antitrust problems, and product flops. But after 5 decades the company endures, and thrives – as one of the biggest players in the emerging AI space. Holding onto that status, and figuring out the next big thing in the tech world, isn’t easy. In light of the big 50-milestone, KUOW labor and economy reporter Monica Nickelsburg recently sat down with Microsoft’s vice chair and president Brad Smith to discuss the past, and the future, of the company.Guest: Monica Nickelsburg, KUOW labor and economy reporter and co-host of the Booming podcast Related Links: Booming - KUOW Tax the rich?
