The technology research and advisory industry is being rebuilt from the ground up, and Daniel Newman is leading that charge from the inside. As CEO of Futurum, Newman has spent the last several years transforming what was once a traditional media and analysis firm into a real-time AI-powered intelligence platform serving technology buyers, enterprise investors, and the world's largest technology providers. As a seven-time bestselling author, frequent voice on CNBC, Bloomberg, and the Wall Street Journal, and a recognized name in enterprise technology analysis, Newman has built Futurum through disciplined bootstrapping, strategic acquisitions, and a willingness to reinvent the business model before the market forced his hand. With a major acquisition now in progress that will add hundreds of financial services firms and approximately $2Trillion in enterprise spend to the platform, Futurum is entering a new phase, one that Newman believes will redefine how decisions are made and how investors capitalize on the opportunity in the enterprise tech market. On this episode of The Reboot Chronicles Podcast, we sit down with Daniel Newman, CEO of Futurum, to unpack how he built and scaled one of the most influential independent technology research platforms in the world.  We discuss why he saw the generative AI disruption coming before most of his peers and how Futurum is using AI to reinvent its own business model in real time. We discuss what enterprise leaders are still getting wrong about AI adoption and close with a personal reboot story that shaped Daniel's approach to risk, resilience, and building through uncertainty.

Most people think that space-time and the physical universe are the ultimate reality—something solid and unchangeable, governed by the laws of physics. But what if that's just the tip of the iceberg? What if our everyday experience is nothing more than a kind of VR headset, a useful interface that hides the deeper layers of reality from us? I find this idea not only fascinating, but increasingly convincing, especially as breakthroughs in both physics and computational theory keep bending the boundaries of what's possible. To challenge our assumptions and help us explore what's really behind the headset, I bring you today's guest—a cognitive scientist who argues that space-time is not fundamental, and that consciousness might be the true base reality. He believes that if we figure out the code underlying the simulation, we could unlock possibilities that make nuclear weapons look like firecrackers—and that the future of science is about to blow our collective minds. With that in mind, I bring you Donald Hoffman.

"This is also me saying here's a literary reading of the universe through physics. There's a way you can read The Edge of Space-Time as me doing close-reading for a few 100 pages. I'm close-reading equations. I'm close-reading Dirac. I'm close-reading Hawking and Ellis, but it's all different versions of a literary practice," says Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, author of The Edge of Space-Time: Particles, Poetry, and the Cosmic Dream Boogie (Pantheon Books).Coming at you at the speed of sound, CNFers, with Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, who is the author of The Disordered Cosmos: A Journey into Dark Matter, Spacetime, and Dreams Deferred and her latest book The Edge of Space-Time: Particles, Poetry, and the Cosmic Dream Boogie. It's published by Pantheon Books.She is an associate professor of physics and core faculty member in women's and gender studies at the University of New Hampshire. Her work lives at the intersection of particle physics, cosmology, and astrophysics and she's also a theorist of Black feminist science studies.Her book is accessible, for sure, but it's mind-bendy and it strikes me as the kind of book you want to read twice. One, it's good company, and two, the material she translates is really difficult to get your head around, but that's the nature of the quantum mechanics, and general relativity, and particle physics, and how the hell did we get here in the first place? Gah!So Chanda talks about: The publishing business in conversations she had with CNF Pod alum Keith O'Brien Writing for Black and queer audiences The different selves who approach the page Paying attention to acknowledgements Epigraph rights and how they set the vibe The fork in the road researchers face when they write a pop science book Physicist brain A literary reading of the universe The world keeps happening while you're writing Understanding metaphors And what Newton and Einstein might talk about if they sat down at a bar togetherBe sure you visit Chanda's website chanda.science and follow her on Instagram at chanda.prescod.weinstein.This episode will pair well with: Episode 103: Persistent, Constant, Careful Work with Dennis Overbye Episode 111: The Empowering and Exciting Nature of Film with Emer Reynolds Episode 307: Greg Brennecka Episode 334: Katrina Miller Episode 395: “The Six,” Mini-Deadlines and the Twang with Loren Grush

When the world gets to be too much, contemplating the endless wonder and beauty of the cosmos can be a huge relief. After all, we're insignificant in the grand scale of space and time. But cosmic thinking can also teach us so much about ourselves. This week, Adam sits with Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, professor of physics and faculty member in women's and gender studies at the University of New Hampshire, to talk about the truths we uncover about ourselves when we search for the truths of the universe.

Juan Manuel Torreblanca y Roberto Belmont abordan uno de los temas más perturbadores del misterio contemporáneo: qué son los viajeros en el tiempo, si realmente puede existir un salto espacio-temporal y por qué ciertos casos parecen desafiar toda explicación racional. El episodio parte de una idea central: nuestra percepción del tiempo ya está condicionada por la luz, el sonido y el procesamiento cerebral, por lo que la realidad que vivimos siempre llega con desfase. Desde ahí, la conversación se expande hacia casos emblemáticos como Lerina García Gordo y su aparente cambio de línea de realidad, el enigmático hombre de Taured en 1954, el caso de Rudolf Fentz en Times Square, el missing time asociado con abducciones y la posibilidad de que sueños, fantasmas, realidades paralelas y experiencias de desdoblamiento estén conectados por empalmes de temporalidad. Para quienes buscan historias reales de viajeros del tiempo, casos extraños sin resolver y una reflexión más profunda sobre percepción, memoria, universos paralelos y conciencia, este episodio ofrece contexto, análisis y preguntas difíciles de olvidar. Juan Manuel Torreblanca and Roberto Belmont examine one of the most unsettling themes in paranormal and speculative thought: what time travelers might really be, whether space-time jumps are possible, and why some cases seem to resist every conventional explanation. The episode begins with a core idea that shapes the entire discussion: human reality is already filtered through delayed sensory processing, meaning what we see and hear reaches consciousness with temporal lag. From there, the conversation moves into famous anomaly cases, including Lerina García Gordo and her apparent shift into a different personal timeline, the mysterious Man from Taured in 1954, Rudolf Fentz in Times Square, missing time reports often linked to abductions, and the possibility that ghosts, prophetic dreams, alternate realities, and consciousness overlap through temporal convergence. For listeners searching for real time travel stories, unresolved mystery cases, parallel timeline theories, and a deeper philosophical look at time perception, identity, and memory, this episode offers a rich and unsettling exploration. Juan Manuel Torreblanca e Roberto Belmont abordam um dos temas mais inquietantes do mistério contemporâneo: o que seriam realmente os viajantes no tempo, se um salto no espaço-tempo pode acontecer e por que certos casos parecem escapar de qualquer explicação convencional. O episódio parte de uma ideia central: a realidade humana já é filtrada por um atraso no processamento sensorial, o que significa que aquilo que vemos e ouvimos chega à consciência com defasagem temporal. A partir disso, a conversa se expande para casos emblemáticos como Lerina García Gordo e sua aparente mudança para outra linha de realidade, o enigmático homem de Taured em 1954, Rudolf Fentz na Times Square, os relatos de missing time frequentemente ligados a abduções e a possibilidade de que fantasmas, sonhos premonitórios, realidades alternativas e consciência se cruzem em empalmes de temporalidade. Para quem procura histórias reais sobre viagem no tempo, casos estranhos sem solução, teorias sobre linhas temporais paralelas e uma reflexão mais profunda sobre percepção, memória e identidade, este episódio oferece contexto, análise e perguntas difíceis de esquecer.

Subatomic particles, gravity wells and the beginning of the universe – these are difficult and mysterious concepts that are better understood with storytelling and metaphor. That's exactly theoretical physicist Chanda Prescod-Weinstein's tack in the new book The Edge of Space-Time: use metaphor and wonder to bridge the gap between people's confusion and excitement with quantum physics.In this episode we talk about Star Trek, how first year physics students are taught and how theoretical physics affects your everyday life.Interested in more space science?

Summoned back to Earth by the Space-Time telegraph, the Doctor and Sarah Jane find themselves assisting their old friends at UNIT not once but twice. But exactly how willing will a Time Lord be to be stuck in a single place once more? 15.1 The Ministry of Death by Robert Valentine (4 parts) When the Brigadier uses the Space-Time Telegraph to summon the Doctor and Sarah Jane from their travels, they know it'll be for something unusual. But neither could expect something quite this strange. An electronics expert has died after being struck by lightning. But how could this possibly happen in his office? And that's only the first death they discover. A wild scheme is underway. A case of twisted science and revenge. That's about to hit closer to home than they could possibly anticipate. 15.2 The Inhuman Empire by Phil Mulryne (2 parts) Sarah is contacted by an old friend who knows her predilection for 'rum goings on', asking her to investigate unusual activities at the National Museum. Sarah agrees to look into it, with the Doctor tagging along - but they soon discover things are worse than they thought. Because the Museum is host to alien activity - very familiar aliens at that. And if they don't stop these relic hunters quickly, then humanity itself might not survive. Brigadier Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart © Haisman & Lincoln and used under licence.

Recorded on: 23 and 27 October, 3,10, 16 and 30 November, and 14 December 2020 Recorded at: The Soundhouse and Remote Recoding Producer David Richardson said: "Now this is my era! I was 12 years old when the Fourth Doctor, Sarah Jane and Harry were flying out into the universe, and those years remain some of my most treasured Doctor Who memories. "How brilliant that, at last, 15 seasons into The Fourth Doctor Adventures, we can bring those characters back together again for new stories. This season has been sitting 'in the can' for a while now - we made it at the height of lockdown, and it proved the most joyous diversion from bleak times. Imaginative, brilliant escapism - just what Doctor Who should be." The Ministry of Death writer Robert Valentine added: "There is a certain magic to these lead characters of the Fourth Doctor, Sarah, Harry and the Brig. The Fourth Doctor is a far less clubbable personality than the Third Doctor was, and he's this chaotic force who wants to leave, and the Brig is a force of order who wants him to stay. "And stuck between them are Sarah and Harry, who are a very different couple of characters, who nevertheless get on extremely well. But Harry is a throwback to an earlier time, not unlike John Steed in The Avengers, and Sarah is a thoroughly contemporary woman who's bang up to date for the 1970s. Or is it the 1980s?" Actor Christopher Naylor described The Ministry of Death: "It has a real adventure serial feel to it. It moves at a good pace and it's very reminiscent of those early stories in Tom's tenure, like Robot. You can imagine those very brightly lit sets and the jeeps zooming all over the place and lots of colour separation overlay of actors and creatures getting bigger." Sadie Miller, who plays Sarah Jane Smith, agreed: "It's a really fun adventure. It reminds me of Roger Corman movies - that sort of creature feature element, which I absolutely adore, and a gothic spooky element to the sci-fi, with a mad scientist character, which I've always really enjoyed as a viewer and as a listener."

In this heartfelt episode, Jed sits down with author and teacher Margaret Gurevich to talk about her middle grade novel, Yasha's Amazing Bar Mitzvah. Set in 1986, with the New York Mets' World Series win as a lively backdrop, the story follows Yasha, a Russian Jewish immigrant who moves from Brighton Beach to the New Jersey suburbs. Suddenly, he's one of only two Russian kids in his grade, navigating Cold War stereotypes, rocky mania, wealth gaps, and classmates who think his Bar Mitzvah—and even his family—aren't "American enough." Margaret shares the real family history woven into the book: parents who left the former Soviet Union in 1979, a grandfather sent to the Gulag for owning prayer shawls, university quotas that nearly blocked her mother's education, and letters home that arrived with whole sections blacked out. She and Jed talk about what it means when a country's politics are used to judge its people, and how Yasha's friendship with an elderly man named Bernie helps him find the courage to be himself. Margaret also reflects on her own journey—from hiding her Russian-Jewish identity as a teen to proudly writing it into her stories—and why she loves writing for middle graders who are still forming their views of the world. In the final part of the episode, Jed chats with cartoonist and author Jeffrey Brown about his graphic novel Once Upon a Space Time, where kids join an intergalactic mission with mostly robot supervision. They explore how today's kids' comics blend humor, heart, and big ideas to keep young readers hooked on stories.
