The AI hype train keeps shedding wheels this week. KPMG managed to publish a report about the transformative power of AI that was apparently riddled with hallucinations, fake citations, and imaginary products, proving once again that asking a stochastic parrot to do your homework is not a substitute for actual research. Meanwhile, Americans are using AI faster than ever while trusting it less than ever, OpenAI somehow turned $13 billion in revenue into losses that would make a dot-com CFO blush, and Silicon Valley CEOs have quietly stopped promising to replace all workers with AI. Not because they've changed their minds, mind you, just because they discovered that telling employees they're obsolete is terrible for morale and stock prices. Add in protests dogging Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Meta employees revolting against soul-crushing AI evaluation work, and the message is clear: the future is here, and everyone involved seems miserable.We then return to one of the founding principles of Grumpy Old Geeks: never build your house on somebody else's land. Anthropic learned that lesson the hard way when its AI models reportedly got caught in a geopolitical and regulatory tug-of-war involving Amazon, the U.S. government, and national security concerns. World leaders are now openly questioning whether American AI platforms can be trusted if access can be revoked overnight. The same platform-risk story pops up again as Meta launches AI-powered search across Facebook's oceans of questionable user-generated content. Remember kids: when you pitch your tent in someone else's backyard, don't act shocked when they turn on the sprinklers.From the Injustice Files, the hits keep coming. The Atlantic revealed the staggering scale of copyrighted music used to train AI systems, Hollywood inches closer to becoming a monopoly-themed amusement park, and the DOJ is backing xAI in a pollution lawsuit while reports emerge that Grok-assisted systems played a role in military operations. Elon keeps collecting legal losses, SpaceX buys Cursor for an eye-watering $60 billion, and Trump is threatening French wine over tech taxes while simultaneously promoting crypto through a UFC event at the White House. We wrap with Britain banning social media for kids under 16, hackers stealing entire Roblox games, Fox buying Roku, the return of human narrators at Blinkist, a gloriously anti-social-media flip phone from Commodore, and a reminder that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is still one of the few things keeping the future worth looking forward to.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.Shopify - Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at Shopify.com/grumpyPrivate Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

— Today's conversation explores what happens when the old strategy of "pushing through" stops working—and how resilience can be reinvented into a way of living, not just surviving. Nancy and I had a candid, hopeful conversation about learning to live differently after injury and chronic pain. We cover meaningful reflections on shifting identity, the emotional toll of being told you're "fine," rebuilding trust with your body, and the surprising possibilities that open when you stop forcing the old path. This episode is for anyone exhausted by effort that no longer yields results—and for anyone ready to discover a new kind of well-being rooted in acceptance, curiosity, and practical change. Valeria interviews Nancy Deyo  — She is a former Silicon Valley CEO and Stanford University Distinguished Careers Institute Fellow whose career and identity were upended by chronic pain and disability.  After a spinal injury on Mount Kilimanjaro, she spent fifteen years navigating chronic illness, opioid dependence, medical uncertainty, and identity collapse. Once accustomed to a life of constant motion—leading a technology company and traveling the world—pain forced Nancy to live lying down, as the strategies that had defined her no longer worked. When medicine offered no clear answers, she explored everything from cutting-edge treatments to energy healers and shamans. The turning point was not a cure, but a shift: learning to rebuild her life within the constraints of chronic pain. She returned to the world on new terms—attending graduate school lying on an army cot and eventually resuming travel and work the same way. Today, Nancy writes and speaks about chronic pain, identity, and resilience. Her forthcoming memoir is Perilous Ascent.

Did your college have a secret society? Well, Stanford has a secret off-campus class training the next generation of Silicon Valley billionaires. And it's literally called "How to Rule the World." Theo Baker arrived at Stanford as an aspiring coder with dreams of building the future. Instead, he stumbled into the "Stanford-within-Stanford" — a hidden pipeline connecting a select few students directly to Silicon Valley CEOs, yacht parties, and venture capitalists offering millions before you even have an idea. Then he decided to write a book about it. In How to Rule the World: An Education in Power at Stanford University, Theo traces his freshman year transformation from tech idealist to award-winning investigative journalist — including the reporting that brought down Stanford's own president. He joins us to talk power, secrecy, and what Silicon Valley is really teaching the next generation.

To save a few thousand dollars in legal fees, six-time Silicon Valley CEO Mike Grossman decided to act as his own lawyer on a routine distribution contract. Years later, when Dun & Bradstreet moved to acquire his company, he reread that contract and realized a single ambiguous sentence could be read to block any sale without his competitor's permission. His board told him not to worry. His mentor, Bill Campbell -- the "trillion-dollar coach" -- told him the board was wrong and that he had to fix it fast. Episode page with video, links, and more  That story is Mike's favorite mistake, and it opens a candid conversation about what running a startup actually feels like when the cameras are off. Mike is the author of the new book Failure Is an Option: Reflections of a Silicon Valley CEO, and he doesn't filter out the hard parts. We get into why the most common layoff mistake is cutting too little rather than too much, how staged cuts become a "death by a thousand cuts" that erodes a leader's credibility, and why luck and timing often matter more than the Silicon Valley meritocracy myth admits. Mike also makes a practical case for radical transparency -- about finances, lost deals, and failures -- as the way leaders earn the trust they'll need when things get hard. If you lead a team and want an honest look at decision-making, psychological safety, and learning from mistakes, this one's for you.

Episode SummaryNancy Deyo is a former Silicon Valley CEO, Stanford Distinguished Careers Institute Fellow, and author of the forthcoming memoir Perilous Ascent. After a medical crisis on Mount Kilimanjaro, Nancy entered a fifteen-year journey through misdiagnosis, chronic pain, opioid dependence, and identity collapse.In this episode of Stories from Real Life, Nancy shares how the strategies that once defined her success—discipline, endurance, ambition, and pushing through—eventually had to be reexamined. Her story is not about a simple cure or a clean comeback. It is about learning to live differently when life no longer responds to effort in the same way.This conversation explores chronic pain, medical uncertainty, high-performance culture, shame, adaptation, and the deeper meaning of resilience.In This Episode, We Discuss* The medical crisis Nancy experienced on Mount Kilimanjaro* How chronic pain reshaped her identity and daily life* The long road through misdiagnosis and medical uncertainty* Opioid dependence in the context of chronic pain* The emotional cost of high-performance culture* Why “pushing through” can sometimes become harmful* Attending graduate school while unable to sit* Rebuilding a meaningful life without pretending everything is fixed* Her forthcoming memoir, Perilous Ascent* A more honest definition of resilienceMemorable ThemesOne of the most powerful ideas in this conversation is that resilience does not always mean pushing harder. Sometimes resilience means recognizing limits, grieving the life that changed, and adapting with honesty rather than force.Nancy's story will resonate with anyone living with chronic illness, navigating burnout, facing medical uncertainty, caregiving for someone in pain, or rebuilding after a major life disruption.About Nancy DeyoNancy Deyo is a former Silicon Valley CEO and Stanford Distinguished Careers Institute Fellow.

Qasar Younis is the co-founder and CEO of Applied Intuition, a $15 billion AI company that adds intelligence to cars, tractors, planes, submarines, and other vehicles—essentially, Tesla or Waymo without the hardware. He was previously COO of Y Combinator, started his career as an engineer at GM and Bosch, and was born on a farm in Pakistan.We discuss:1. Why the biggest AI revolution will play out in mining, farming, construction, and trucking over the next 5 to 10 years, not in software2. Why Qasar intentionally stayed under the radar for nearly a decade while building Applied Intuition, and why most founders shouldn't do that3. The truth about China's AI capabilities and why comparisons to American companies are fundamentally flawed4. The company values that drive Applied Intuition: speed above everything, laugh a lot, half the work is follow-up, never disappoint the customer5. The biggest lessons from Qasar's stint as YC's COO, including that the most successful companies show traction very early6.

Join Matt Wolfe (https://x.com/mreflow) and Joe Fier (linkedin.com/in/joefier) as they break down Anthropic's showdown with the Pentagon—and the price of saying no to mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. This episode dives into the high-stakes standoff between Anthropic (creators of Claude) and the U.S. government. Matt and Joe explain why Anthropic's refusal to loosen its AI's ethical guardrails could get them blacklisted as a supply chain risk, and what that unprecedented move means for the entire tech industry. They cover the implications for national security, the tech world's role in military decisions, the Pentagon's shifting alliances with other AI labs, and what it means when Silicon Valley CEOs and government officials are at odds. Plus, they demo the latest AI tools—like Google's Nano Banana 2—and dissect the present and future of AI-powered agents and automation, from Perplexity Computer to BK's new “Patty” assistant.

Send a textHaresh Patel is a Silicon Valley CEO turned HealthTech innovator who has spent his career solving complex systems across technology, finance, and human health.Born in India and raised in New Hampshire, Haresh earned his electrical engineering degree from the University of Notre Dame before beginning a 25 year journey in Silicon Valley. His leadership spanned semiconductor and technology companies including Texas Instruments, PMC Sierra, Agilent, and WJ Communications, before culminating in the founding of Mercatus. What began as a kitchen table startup grew into the global standard for private market investment technology, supporting over $1.5 trillion in assets under management before being acquired by State Street.Haresh's most profound breakthrough did not happen in a boardroom but in a healing room.For 55 years, he lived with unexplained health symptoms that twelve specialists could not diagnose. Refusing to accept that there were no answers, Haresh applied the same systems thinking and pattern recognition that powered his business success to his own body. By connecting the dots conventional medicine had missed, he uncovered the root causes behind his condition, an experience that fundamentally reshaped his life and purpose.Today, he is the founder of Diagnostic MD AI and a leading advocate for integrating conventional medicine with proven alternative approaches through patient-centric, AI-driven diagnostics. He believes the future of healthcare lies not in choosing between Eastern and Western medicine, but in intelligently combining their strengths to understand the whole system.His forthcoming book, The Ghost in My Body, chronicles this journey from medical dead ends to healing breakthroughs, offering both a deeply personal story and a vision for how healthcare can evolve.https://hareshpatel.ai/Use code FA FOR 40% OFF Athletic greens is a non-negotiable part of my daily routine.

AI had little to no impact on productivity in the past 3 years.This was according to a National Bureau of Economic Research survey released in February 2006 of 6,000 CEOs and executives across the US, UK, Germany, and Australia. Instead of throwing fruit at us, watch or listen as Enterprise Business Agility Consultant Om Patel and Product Manager Brian Orlando discuss why it won't be the loudest Silicon Valley CEO helping us make the most out of these new tools and technology, but boring old process improvement and org design!Yes, the current research-backed consensus (we review more such articles and research) is that AI adoption doesn't lead to productivity gains, but executives are going to still buy it anyway - they've got "positive vibes."

[01:02:25] Allow Yourself to Feel What You Resist Feeling Why we incarnate multiple times. How Daniel was born with lots of love, but lost it through trauma. Why there are no bad emotions. How we're shown what we resists. [01:09:05] Science VS Spirituality How science and spirituality are the same. Why we're not living in a materialistic universe. How Daniel forgot God when he was depressed. Why energy healing changed his life. [01:14:40] How to Harness Your Superpowers How Daniel channels jokes as a comedian. Why everyone has their own superpowers. How we should be taught how to harness our superpower. [01:18:10] Switch The Lens Through Which You See The World Why enlightenment is not something to get, it's already there. How nobody is a victim. Why switching our lens through which we see the world can change the reality. How wanting to be a saviour manifests in people who struggle. Why our identity only exists in our mind. "There's a very big difference between God consciousness and God complex. God complex is when it's all about you. It's an ego trap. The goal is to tune in more to your higher self and purify that channel as opposed to trying to manifest from the ego." — Daniel Raphael Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts

In an AI disrupted world, what do you do when technology is moving faster than your people? Heather Jerrehian, Silicon Valley CEO, investor, and co-author of Sail to Scale, reveals why trust, psychological safety, and human-centred leadership are now the critical skills CEOs need to navigate AI-driven disruption. For most organisations, AI doesn't fail because the tech isn't ready. It fails because people don't feel safe enough to adopt it. But for Heather, this moment became a masterclass in leading through uncertainty, navigating resistance, and bringing teams with her into the future. In this conversation with Rebecca Jenkins and Callum Jenkins, Heather explains what CEOs must understand about human behaviour, fear, change, and how to build the trust that makes transformation possible. This is not theory, it's hard-earned insight from someone who has launched, pivoted, scaled, and exited companies at the heart of the AI revolution, including a transformational acquisition by ServiceNow. What you'll learn in this episode: Why AI adoption fails inside organisations, and the hidden fears leaders aren't addressing. How to build psychological safety so your people don't resist AI, but embrace it. The leadership behaviours that create trust during periods of disruption. How Heather's ‘listening tour' revealed a market opportunity that changed the trajectory of her company. Why futurist leaders must learn the skill of bringing people with them, not running ahead alone. The four waves of growth from Sail to Scale, and how to navigate each one without losing your team. Why human-centred leadership is the only sustainable strategy in an AI-powered world. This is for: CEOs, Founders, and C-suite leaders navigating AI-driven change, organisational resistance, or the complexity of leading people through disruption. ----more---- Connect with Heather: LinkedIn: Heather Jerrehian X: @Jerrehian Book: Sail to Scale: Steer Your Startup Clear of Mistakes from Launch to Exit (Amazon) ----more---- LEAD TO SUCCEED  is sponsored by RJEN The Revenue Architect.   Get your Boardroom Briefing for Scalable Growth How to breakthrough revenue plateaus, even in difficult market conditions.

Have you ever taken a device from your child only to have them lose their ever-loving mind? According to social researcher Dr. Jean Twenge, “That's a good thing.”Dr. Twenge graciously joins us in season 6 to talk about raising kids in a high-tech world. Dr. Twenge is one of the most prominent researchers of our day on generational differences and how screens are harming our brains and ability to related. But not only does she research it, she lives it and makes it incredibly practical for us as parents.She highlights a few key truths. For example, did you know that the average teen uses just social media alone for 5 hours a day? Also, why are we not questioning Silicon Valley CEOs who follow the rules of drug dealers? “Don't get high off your own supply.”Dr. Twenge not only talks about these facts but also chronologically walks us through each age for setting tech rules (see time stamps).Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction 2:48 Dr. Jean Twenge shares research on happiness and what she did with her own children 7:50 What to do if your child is the only one who doesn't have a screen 10:54 Tech rules for preschool - early childhood years 15:25 The research on happiness, depression, & inattention 17:57 Tech rules for late childhood years - pre-teen years 20:05 Latest trend: AI boyfriends and girlfriends 22:50 Video-gaming 24:45 Tech rules for teen yearsShow Notes: Get Dr. Jean Twenge's latest book 10 Rules for Raising Kids in a High Tech World: https://amzn.to/4pP5o9mTo book Dr. Jean Twenge or see more of her works: https://www.jeantwenge.com/ Sign up for a free trial of KidsRQ! https://www.kidsrq.com Join KidsRQ at the Founding Members rate: https://www.kidsrq.com If you're interested in a marriage you love, fill out this form: https://www.famousathome.com/loveyourmarriage Download NONAH's new single Find My Way Home by clicking here: https://bellpartners.ffm.to/findmywayhome

What if chasing someone else's "perfect routine" is the very thing sabotaging your success? In this disruptive Monday Myth Busting episode, Heather takes on one of the biggest lies in productivity culture: that there's a magical morning routine that will transform your life if you just follow it exactly. Through hilarious personal failures (hello, 5 am challenge disaster) and hard-won wisdom, she exposes why guru worship is keeping you stuck and how your natural rhythms might be your secret weapon. This isn't just about morning routines—it's about the courage to trust yourself over the latest productivity trend.What's Inside:Heather's brutal 10-day 5 am challenge that nearly broke her (spoiler: she works until 10 pm naturally)The Christmas product launch disaster that followed all the "perfect" marketing rules but still floppedThe brilliant baking metaphor: why she can make the same Victoria sponge recipe and get wildly different results based on stress levelsThree myth-busting truths about why nothing works for everyone and nothing stays the sameThe uncomfortable reality that energy and belief trump technique every single timeWhy honest self-awareness beats guru worship (and saves your sanity)Permission to trust your natural rhythms instead of fighting themThe Uncomfortable Truth:You're not broken if the 5 am routine doesn't work for you. You're not failing if meditation makes you anxious or cold plunges make you miserable. Sometimes the "perfect" formula is missing the most important ingredient: YOU.Key Takeaways:Nothing stays the same, and nothing works for everyone—that Silicon Valley CEO's routine might be perfect for him but self-sabotage for youEnergy and belief trump technique every time—you can have the perfect strategy, but if your energy is off, "the flour takes it personally"Honest self-awareness beats guru worship—ask what you already excel at rather than copying someone else's blueprintTrust your natural rhythms instead of forcing yourself into someone else's optimal performance windowThis Week's Awareness Experiment:Instead of forcing yourself into another guru's "perfect" routine, pay attention to when you naturally feel most energized, creative, and productive. Notice what conditions help you thrive. Maybe you're a 9 pm powerhouse, not a 5 am warrior. Maybe your perfect morning involves sleeping until 8 am. Trust that wisdom.Perfect For:Anyone exhausted by trying to copy other people's success formulasSerial routine-starters who always burn out after a few weeksPeople who feel guilty for not being "morning people"Entrepreneurs tired of one-size-fits-all business adviceAnyone ready to rebel against productivity guru cultureThose seeking permission to honor their natural rhythmsConnect & Share:Share your own routine experiment failures and unexpected discoveries with us @ChoosingHappyPodcast or email heather@heathervmasters.comTag someone who needs permission to quit the 5 am clubLeave a review sharing what "perfect routine" nearly broke youVisit www.choosinghappypodcast.com for more myth-busting wisdom that actually sets you freeSubscribe for weekly episodes that choose authenticity over guru worshipRemember: The only perfect routine is the one that actually works for you, your energy, your life, and your natural rhythms.

Is America Closing the Door on Global Talent?Donald Trump's new $100,000 fee on H-1B visa applications has sent shockwaves through the tech industry, universities, and foreign governments. In this video, we unpack the legal, economic, and political fallout — from panics at airports to diplomatic blowback, from the Hyundai factory raid to the eerie silence of Silicon Valley CEOs.

After almost 2 years of Israel's genocide in Gaza, Western powers have issued synchronised declarations recognising Palestinian statehood - a diplomatic move seemingly born out of the immense public pressure they face. What's missing from the story is the concrete measures those governments could take to stop the slaughter in Gaza, as well as their complicity by continuing to supply weapons to Israel. Contributors: Ines Abdel Razek – Co-director, Palestine Institute for Public Diplomacy Michael Lynk – Former UN special rapporteur, occupied Palestinian territory Michael Omer-Man – Director Israel-Palestine, DAWN Seamus Malekafzali - Journalist On our radar: Three years into a civil war, Sudan is one of the most underreported stories in the world. Meenakshi Ravi reports on the near-collapse of the country's media industry and the journalists trying to break the information blockade. How Palantir got techno-militiarism trending Silicon Valley CEOs are increasingly making the case that their technologies can transform the way that wars are fought. And of all the companies involved in this military-tech boom, one stands out: Palantir. Branding itself as America First, the data analytics firm has won billions of dollars in contracts and makes no apologies for the need to kill people - if that's what it takes to protect Western interests. Tariq Nafi reports on how the company sells a sleek, one-click solution to warfare. Featuring: Juan Sebastian Pinto – Former Palantir employee Matt Mahmoudi – Researcher, Amnesty Tech Elke Schwarz – Author, Death Machines: The Ethics of Violent Technologies

Ray Vahey is the founder and CEO of BitChute, a video-sharing platform created to champion free expression and resist the increasing push for digital censorship. A software engineer by training, Ray launched BitChute in 2017 in response to growing deplatforming and algorithmic suppression on mainstream tech platforms. Under his leadership, BitChute has grown into one of the most recognized platforms for censorship-resistant content, serving tens of millions of users monthly. Unlike many Silicon Valley CEOs, Ray has taken a bold and principled stand for digital freedom, refusing to install monitoring or compliance tools even under government pressure. In 2025, BitChute became the only major platform to fully withdraw from the UK rather than comply with Ofcom's demands under the Online Safety Act. This move made headlines worldwide and established Ray as a global thought leader in privacy rights, decentralization, and civil liberties. We have a new show on Lions of Liberty!

How does a society defined by liberty and revolution become so easy to censor? Is polarisation something that has been done to us as an active political strategy or did we do this to ourselves?

Would you trade a researcher's job at a prestigious university to become an entrepreneur in Silicon Valley? Our Bay Area Innovator today is Elle Rustique, who was once a social scientist at Stanford and is now the CEO of TipBrightly. “To be perfectly honest, I was rethinking whether writing papers and publishing was really the way to create change,” Ms. Rustique said. In 2015, she created TipBrightly, a company providing digital cashless tipping services. “What I saw was really a missing piece, what I saw this as was just simply a lack of connection,” Ms. Rustique said. “My mother was a housekeeper. When I was growing up, she would take us to McDonald's with her tips, and that made a difference.” Today, Ms. Rustique discusses why tipping matters, what motivated her to embark on a journey of entrepreneurship, and why it's essential to maintain a humanizing factor in technology to preserve our values. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

His philosophy centers on the idea that by serving others, you can grow your business in meaningful and sustainable ways.Steve shared his journey of adopting a service mindset, highlighting the profound impact it has had on his career. He explained, "When you have a servant's heart in your business, you will grow. It's hard to retain in your mindset because you don't see it tangibly, but I've proven that it can, and it's such a fun way to do business."One of the most compelling moments in our conversation was when Steve recounted a touching story about helping a businesswoman who was struggling with medical bills for her disabled children. By referring clients to her, Steve provided opportunities that she never anticipated. "You never know when you're serving somebody what the end result will be," Steve said. "Take action with a servant's heart because you might literally change somebody's life for the good."For entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley and beyond, Steve offers valuable advice: "Serve your employees from your janitor to your CFO. Serve your customers and even your competitors. Build currency in the universe by bringing value to every conversation."Steve's experiences and insights are a testament to the power of service in business. His approach not only enhances relationships but also fosters a culture of genuine care and collaboration. As he eloquently put it, "Be transformational, not transactional."Incorporating a servant's heart into your business isn't just about achieving success; it's about making a lasting impact.

He uses this talent to build meaningful relationships and networks that bring value and opportunities to others, enhancing both personal and professional growth.Illustrative Story:One powerful story Steve shared was about his experience at his family's health club. At 18, he built relationships with the club members, including Tony, a financial advisor, who advised him to save 10% of his income. Following this advice led to Steve amassing $68,000 by the time he was 28. This early lesson in the value of connecting and serving others profoundly influenced his approach to life and business.Tips for Developing the Superpower:1. Practice Servant Mentality: Track your acts of service each week, noting how they made others feel, how they made you feel, and any changes in your week.2. Build Relationships: Focus on genuinely connecting with others, offering value and support without expecting immediate returns.3. Listen Actively: In conversations, prioritize listening to understand others' needs and how you can help.4. Serve Everyone: From colleagues to competitors, offer your assistance and support wherever possible.5.

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.
