Brett Hurt got the Lamborghini. He got the exits, the valuations, everything a tech titan is supposed to want. And then he felt nothing. That emptiness became the most important moment of his career — and the catalyst for his new book, Love Conquers Fear: Humanity, AI, and the Age of Abundance for All. Brett is the co-founder of data.world (acquired by ServiceNow), Bazaarvoice (unicorn IPO), and Coremetrics (acquired by IBM). He has invested in 151 startups, backed 52 VC funds including SpaceX, and was named Austin's Best CEO. In this conversation with host Park Howell, Brett makes the case that the most urgent upgrade of the AI age is not technological — it's personal. We explore why love, not fear, is the only leadership strategy built for what's coming, why nuclear weapons are a greater existential threat than artificial intelligence, and how psychedelic therapy and Vedantic philosophy transformed the way Brett thinks about building companies, raising consciousness, and saving humanity from itself. If you've ever wondered what you're actually building your work for, this episode is your answer. Find Brett at loveconquersfear.org and on the Love Conquers Fear podcast, published every Tuesday.

In episode 367 of The Real Jason Duncan Podcast, most entrepreneurs believe AI is the great differentiator, the tool that will finally give them the edge. Jonathan Aberman spent decades at the center of the technology world watching that belief quietly destroy the one thing businesses actually compete on. Jonathan Aberman is an entrepreneur, investor, and innovation strategist who has helped launch more than 40 technology companies, served as the founding dean of Marymount University's College of Business and Technology, and is the co-founder and CEO of Hupside — the company building the Original Intelligence category. Forbes called him the unsung hero of the effort to bring Amazon HQ2 to Northern Virginia. Named a "Tech Titan" by Washingtonian and recognized among the Washington Business Journal's "Power 100," he has spent over two decades at the intersection of technology, venture capital, and human potential — and what he found there changed everything he thought he knew about AI. Today, Jonathan sits down with Jason for a conversation that most technology executives don't want to have. The lie is one of the most widely accepted beliefs in business right now: AI can solve any problem, handle any task, and whoever deploys it fastest wins. Here's what that belief actually does — it hands your competitive advantage to a tool every one of your competitors is using too. The models create sameness at scale. And sameness is the end of differentiation. This episode dives into: Why 95% of companies that have adopted AI cannot point to a real return, and what the data actually shows The scattergram experiment that proved AI collapses human creativity into three predictable clusters What large language models are architecturally incapable of producing, and why most executives have never been told Why competing on AI efficiency alone is a losing strategy for nearly every business on this show What "Original Intelligence" is and why it may be the most important business metric nobody is tracking How to measure whether a human working with AI is producing something genuinely differentiated, or just expensive slop What AI slop is doing to trust, personal brand, and content credibility, and what to do when you see it Why the correct frame for AI is not OR but AND, and what changes the moment you understand that The one question every leader should be asking that almost nobody is asking right now The lie is that AI is the answer. The truth is that AI gives everyone the same answer. The leaders who figure that out now, and build their strategy around what only humans can produce, are the ones who will still be standing in ten years.

Every product and piece of art you love is a ripoff…and that's a good thing. Today, we're talking to Michael Grinich, founder of WorkOS. We discuss why copying great work is a sign of maturity rather than weakness, how the best builders draw inspiration from wildly different industries, and why the most enduring motivation in tech is really just a form of suffering. All of this right here, right now, on the Modern CTO Podcast! To learn more about WorkOS, check out their website here.

If you're not arguing with your team, you might be making a big mistake. Today, we're bringing you timeless advice from Brendan Wovchko, CTO at Ramsey Solutions. We discuss why most organizations have a shared urgency problem and what to do about it, how the "act or argue" principle can transform your team culture, and why the best technologists are still driven by mission instead of money or status.

"Many of these AI advancements, where the U.S. is more on the innovative theoretical side of creating new models... China's really ahead on commercializing them, and that's their advantage. I think saying that China and the U.S. are equivalent in AI is probably an overstatement. I think the AI center of innovation continues to be in Silicon Valley. This could change—the gap is closing. I do think the U.S. is still ahead, but I think China is catching up."Fresh out of the studio, Bernard Leong reconnects with Rebecca Fannin, founder of Silicon Dragon Ventures and author of Tech Titans of China, six years on from their first conversation about the original landmark book. Rebecca traces China's transformation from copier to innovator, the decoupling of US-China venture capital and the reroute of capital flows toward the Middle East and Southeast Asia, and an AI race where China commercialises while the US theorises. The conversation moves through Chinese EV dominance, humanoid robotics, and semiconductor self-sufficiency, before opening out to a multipolar tech order with India and Saudi Arabia rising. She closes with a hopeful note on reopening US-China collaboration.Episode Highlights:[00:00] Quote of the Day by Rebecca Fannin from Silicon Dragon Ventures[01:00] Introduction: Rebecca Fannin[03:00] From copier to innovator: the global perception shift[04:00] BAT plus ByteDance: still the tech titans[05:30] Beyond BAT: TMD, ByteDance, DiDi go global[07:00] Temu and the de minimis tariff hit[09:00] Cross-border VC decouples: Sequoia, GGV split[10:00] Capital reroutes to the Middle East and Singapore[11:30] No more golden era for cross-Pacific VC[12:00] AI, quantum, semiconductor funding dries up[13:00] The 2020-2023 crackdown and Beijing's reset[15:00] Apple's supply chain dependency hard to unwind[16:00] The AI race: Chinese open-source models surge[17:30] China commercialises, the US theorises[18:30] Silicon Valley adopts 996 and Chinese-style attacks[20:30] Chinese EVs surpass Tesla and European makers[22:00] Why Xiaomi built a car where Apple couldn't[22:30] DJI, Unitree, UBTech: China's robotics dominance[24:00] Humanoid robots and the policy maker dilemma[25:00] China's semiconductor self-sufficiency push[25:30] Nvidia export controls and the SMIC question[27:00] What few in the West truly understood five years ago[28:00] Quantum computing as the long-term frontier bet[29:00] Beyond binary: India, ASEAN, Saudi Arabia, Israel[31:30] Why China's rise became the biggest tech story[33:00] Hope for a reopening of US-China collaboration[33:30] ClosingProfile: Rebecca Fannin, Author of "The New Tech Titans of China" and Silicon Dragon VenturesLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-fannin-533128/Podcast Information: Bernard Leong hosts and produces the show.

What if the ten kings of Revelation aren't who we've always assumed? What if they don't wear suits and sit in parliaments — but instead control your data, your energy, your communication, and soon, your ability to exist in a digital world at all?I was recently invited on as a guest on Prophetic Outlook, and what started as a conversation about a little-known US bill turned into one of the most wide-ranging discussions I've had in a while. We covered the surveillance infrastructure being built right now, the tech titans funding it, the digital ID rollouts already live in Europe — and where Scripture tells us it's all heading. The pieces are on the board. The question is whether we're paying attention.We got into:HR8250 — the US bill that would require age verification not just for apps or websites, but for your phone and devices at the operating system levelThe PayPal Mafia — Musk, Thiel, Ellison and others, and why they may fit the biblical profile of the ten kings better than any politicianThe post-rapture world — why no government has a contingency plan for billions of people disappearing overnight, and what that chaos unlocksGeorge Bernard Shaw and the Fabian Society — a chilling 60-second clip that sounds less like 1920s socialism and more like where things are headedThe mark of the beast — what the Bible actually says (and doesn't say) and why AI and quantum computing are the control grid, not necessarily the mark itselfHit play.

THIS is how you know you're not really ready for primetime. Today, we're bringing you our most timeless advice from our last conversation with Alan Williamson, Author of Think Like a CTO. We discuss why most first-time CTOs struggle to communicate with non-technical executives, how to think about budgeting and engineering costs like a true technology leader, and why the ability to articulate a clear vision is what separates a real CTO from a CTO in name only.

High expectations are weighing on big tech as names like Nvidia (NVDA), Salesforce (CRM), and Snowflake (SNOW) lose momentum. Chris Ward explains why Entry Point Wealth Management stepped aside from technology, warning that the AI trade may be nearing exhaustion after weak price action.

Join Jonathan Aberman, CEO and Co-Founder of Hupside, for a provocative conversation on why the majority of AI adoptions fail. While AI is a powerhouse for efficiency, it lacks the ability to be truly original—a trait Jonathan defines as Original Intelligence. In this episode, we explore how Hupside is measuring and quantifying human originality to help businesses create real value and differentiation in an increasingly automated world.

The Pentagon has ordered about 1,500 active-duty soldiers to prepare for a possible deployment to Minnesota, defense officials told The Washington Post late Saturday, after President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act in response to unrest there. Speaking of Trump, he will be in Davos, Switzerland, to be a keynote speaker at the World Economic Forum, and he's bringing with him the ‘gods of this world' that we like to call the Tech Titans.“Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.” Isaiah 41:23 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the world order as we know it is transitioning to something we've long feared was coming, and the person who seems to be the catalyst for it is all none other than Donald John Trump. Thank you for your attention in the matter!! Consider the following headlines – a Free Trade Zone between Europe and South America, Trump turning against NATO, the Federal government stifling the media, the Pentagon sending troops to Minnesota, the coming economic collapse, Donald Trump keynote speaker at World Economic Forum – and on and on it goes. But take heart, the MAGA and Q propagandists, who could teach some new tricks to Joseph Goebbels, assure us that the 7D chess Donald Trump has been playing will shortly bring the New World Order to heel, and victory will be ours at last…Hail, victory! Or as they say in Germany, Seig Heil. Trump may indeed be playing 7D chess, but if he is, it is a game being played against us, not on ‘them'. Today we invite you to take your head out of the proverbial sand, and see the world as the Bible says it will be in the last days.

Has Big Tech become too powerful? Amazon, Apple, Alphabet, Meta, and Microsoft shape how we shop, communicate, and consume information. But has their dominance gone too far? Advocates argue these firms are monopolies that harm competition, exploit consumer data, and wield disproportionate influence over public discourse. Structural reforms would restore fairness and innovation. But critics warn that breakups could damage user experience, slow innovation, and disrupt integrated ecosystems people rely on. Now we debate: Should the U.S. Government Break Up Big Tech?

Before the Antichrist takes his throne, the system must already be in place. Revelation shows us a world where no man can buy or sell without the right app, where every movement is monitored, and where allegiance to a global leader is digitally enforced with an human implantable device.“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:17 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Trump, for his part, has long embraced the merging of technology with national security — what the Department of War calls “decision dominance”. Palantir became a central pillar of that doctrine. And now, with the company CEO Alex Karp openly describing itself as “the operating system of the modern world”, the prophetic implications become almost unavoidable. A world where one platform processes nearly all government, military, financial, and personal data is a world perfectly prepared for the Antichrist. Surveillance is sold as safety, Data centralization is sold as efficiency, Global tracking is sold as security. And political figures, whether Trump or anyone else, frame these tools as necessary to protect the nation, for the ‘national good'. Yet every tool built today becomes a weapon in the hands of the Man of Sin tomorrow. This is the danger many Christians miss: The Beast System will be built by people who never imagine they are building it, and you are watching it being built right now whether you believe it or not, whether you can see it or not.

The late Jeffrey Epstein, AKA Dr. Frankepstein, was among the biotech giants working towards transhuman H+ human engineering and projects connected to Gender Affirmation surgeries that mutilate young people and render them sterile. Within the trove of the notorious Jeffrey Epstein's emails recently acquired by Bloomberg, the infamous pedophile and ruling class socialite proposed to fund an interesting program– Harvard's Personal Genome Project (PGP). Epstein's reason for doing so? To find out if “beauty resides in DNA.” This continues to be an ongoing Frankenstein drama, but with all of the Tech Titans that Trump has embraced. Epstein was only one man among a group of elites seeking to transcend the limits of human life through transhumanist biotechnology.

As Ireland square up to the All Blacks at the weekend, we are all New Zealand this week, podcasting from the edge of the world, Richie McCaw's old stomping Christchurch, New Zealand. We explore why the world's richest men are turning NZ's quiet and beautiful South Island into their apocalypse insurance policy. Peter Thiel has bought hundreds of acres near Lake Wānaka, joining a wave of tech billionaires building bunkers at the bottom of the planet. They call it resilience; it looks a lot like retreat. From Victorian settlers fleeing moral decay to modern tech evangelists escaping the society they built, New Zealand has always drawn utopians convinced the world is ending somewhere else. We trace the country's shift from colonial outpost to libertarian life raft, unpacking The Sovereign Individual, the book that shaped Silicon Valley's doomsday economics. A journey through empire, ideology, and the strange new faith that the future belongs only to those who can afford to escape. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the run-up to the US presidential election last year, we watched as nearly every tech titan in Silicon Valley came to bow down to Donald Trump and ‘kiss the ring', it was astonishing, actually. But as it turns out, they weren't doing that because they were selling something, they did that because they were buying something. What they bought was direct access to the greatest military and political power on the face of the Earth, the United States of America. Now that they have it, what do they plan on doing with it? Glad you asked, the Bible has the answer.“And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.” Daniel 8:24 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, here in America and as a global society, we are in the process of being taken over and subjugated by images, intelligence and devices that are locking us into a world you cannot see with your eyes. This is the world presented to us in every dystopian and end times movie of the last half century, and foretold within the pages of the King James Bible. Trump opened the door and Peter Thiel, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and Sam Altman have lined up like wolves, encircling the camp and preparing to pounce. The world they bring us is rooted in the spirit realm, with chains unbreakable by human hands. Social Media began with the ubiquitous Myspace site and goofy and harmless Tom Anderson was your very first social media ‘friend'. That was 2023. Flash-forward to 2025 and Social Media is as dominating a force as the Nazi Third Reich, and the all-seeing algorithms tell you what to think, how to act and what to buy. Here's a funny thing, everyone of these tech titans, including Trump, think they are doing something good for society, bringing in the ‘Golden Age'. But if you read and believe The Book, you know that that could not be further from the truth.Tick, tock, goes the end times clock…

The Washington Roundtable's Evan Osnos interviews Katie Drummond, the global editorial director of Wired, about the publication's scoop-filled coverage of DOGE, and what Elon Musk's experience in Washington taught Silicon Valley leaders. “They know that they can operate with relative impunity, and they are now lining themselves up next to a President who will allow that to continue to happen,” Drummond says. Plus, a discussion of how artificial intelligence will shape our society and democracy, and transform the workforce in the years to come.This week's reading: “Trump Redefines the Washington Scandal,” by Susan B.

Fresh from unbuckling their seatbelts on the Gliding Guru luxury jet and mooring the show's mega-yacht, our decoders are feeling an unexpected surge of empathy for their last decoding subject, Gary Stevenson. It turns out that a bit of jet-lagged decadence really hones one's sensitivity to wealth inequality. Or maybe it's just the natural response to voluntarily subjecting yourself to the truly insufferable world of the All-In podcast.That's right, this week you can vibe to the philosophical musings of a couple of Silicon Valley moguls, Chamath Palihapitiya, David Sacks, Jason Calacanis, and David Friedberg or as they call themselves: the Dictator, the Rainman, the Moderator, and the Sultan (yes, really).Revel in their tales of private jets, $500K club memberships, and their noble quest to cut food stamps while engaging in hyper-elitist MAGA cheerleading. Plug in for a first-class tour through cognitive dissonance, private-jet populism, and your regular prescription of alternative media grievance mongering and conspiracy hypothesising.Perfect for anyone who enjoys listening to the top 0.01% share their insights and deep connection with the common man's struggles.
