Most people don't have a money problem — they have a thinking problem.In this episode of Common Denominator, I sit down with economist Laurence Kotlikoff – Boston University professor and creator of MaxiFi financial planning –  to unpack the biggest lie we tell ourselves about our financial lives: that we don't need to look… and it'll all work out.Laurence explains why so many of us avoid our numbers (fear, superstition, math phobia), why much of Wall Street's “standard advice” conflicts with real economics, and why personal finance is far more complicated than people realize — from taxes and inflation to Social Security's 22,000-page rulebook. We talk through what it actually takes to answer the simplest question that drives everything: How much can I safely spend — and keep spending — without running out?We also zoom out to the macro questions people feel every day: whether Social Security could be cut, whether AI has created a market bubble, how panic can move markets even when fundamentals don't, what housing really means as an inflation hedge, and why inflation hurts households so differently depending on how their income and assets are structured.This conversation is a reminder that “having your finances straight” isn't about luck, hype, or perfect timing — it's about getting clear, making sustainable decisions, and using the right tools to avoid leaving massive money on the table.In this episode you'll learn:- The biggest lie people tell themselves about money — and why it's so common- Why personal finance isn't “simple math” (and why most people freeze anyway)- How to think about spending safely if you live to 100- What a 23% Social Security benefit cut could mean — and how to plan around it- Why many households make the wrong Social Security decision and lose big- Whether AI stocks are overvalued — and how bubbles (and panic) form- How the market can drop hard even without “fundamental” reasons- When buying a home makes sense vs. renting — and what people miss- Why inflation burns some people and spares others (and how to protect yourself)- The “common denominator” of people who actually stay financially secureLike this episode?

A CEO's take on AI and the future of content creationYou've probably scrolled past it without realizing it. A song on your feed that sounds human—but isn't. An influencer landing brand deals—who doesn't exist. And suddenly, the creative world feels split on how this is set to impact the creator industry. In this episode of Brains Byte Back, Erick Espinosa sits down with Shahrzad Rafati, Founder and CEO of RHEI, to discuss how AI is influencing the creator economy. Will the evolutionary technology scale creativity, or stifle it? Instead of focusing on fear-driven headlines about fake artists and synthetic stars, this conversation zooms out, looking at AI as an assistive tool, similar to other industries. It looks at what creators are actually struggling with today, including burnout, overload, and the endless work that gets in the way of making meaningful things. Shahrzad discuss why time is the real constraint for creators, how AI tools, like RHEI, can act more like a behind-the-scenes teammate, and why we need to retire the cynical misconception that AI replaces creativity. Instead, emphasizing the importance of focusing on human signals. Because while AI can flood the world with saturated content and shape what people see, culture is still defined by human intent, authorship, and genuine human connection. Find out more about Shahrzad Rafati here.Learn more about RHEI here.Reach out to today's host, Erick Espinosa - erick@sociable.coGet the latest on tech news - https://sociable.co/ Leave an iTunes review  - https://rb.gy/ampk26Follow us on your favourite podcast platform - https://link.chtbl.com/rN3x4ecY

Michael and Diane stepped back from their interviews to have a one-on-one conversation and reflect at the midpoint of their season on AI in education. They dove into the evolving role of AI in education and questioned whether AI is truly transforming the system or simply being layered onto outdated structures. They explored a frameworkContinue reading "Reflections on Whether AI is Actually Changing Schools—and Where"

Travel is one of the most demo-friendly use cases for AI — and one of the hardest industries to actually disrupt.Every AI launch seems to promise the same thing: “Tell me where you want to go, and I'll plan everything.” But behind the slick demos sits a deeply consolidated industry dominated by platforms, hotel chains, and airlines that optimize for upsell and extraction.Rafat Ali is the founder and CEO of Skift, which bills itself as “the daily homepage for the global travel industry.” We discuss whether AI is likely to have a traveler-friendly effect — or whether the big platforms will just use these new tools of hyper-personalization to extract even more from us. We cover: Whether AI creates new intermediaries—or just strengthens existing giantsWhy no breakout consumer AI travel startup has emerged (yet)Where AI does work in travel today: ops, logistics, and B2B automationWhy travel is a graveyard for “great UX, bad business” startups (RIP HipmunkRafat's dad hacks for traveling with three kids---Featured voices:Rafat Ali — Founder and CEO of SkiftMe (Dan Blumberg) — I'm the host of CRAFTED. and the founder of Modern Product Minds.

In this wide-open Sunday sit-down, host David Smith and guest Jack unpack America's contradictions — from food aid and fairness to military spending, political corruption, and the pandemic's fallout. What starts as a debate about SNAP benefits and welfare accountability turns into a full-blown conversation about foreign aid, CIA funding loops, pandemic psy-ops, and whether UFOs are already here.It's part kitchen-table talk, part late-night philosophy, part social autopsy — equal parts real talk and ridiculous.They tackle:The truth and myths about EBT/SNAP and government aid.U.S. spending priorities — veterans vs. Ukraine, Israel, and the military-industrial complex.How COVID policy, vaccine kickbacks, and mask theater exposed public trust cracks.Whether AI, surveillance, and Agenda 21-style “smart cities” mean freedom or control.UFOs, Bob Lazar, Operation Blue Beam, and alien overlords (because of course it ends there).This is “And Another Thing With Dave” at its purest: irreverent, unfiltered, and brutally honest — where serious ideas mix with satire and skepticism.Thank you for tuning in!If you are digging what I am doing, and picking up what I'm putting down, please follow, subscribe, and share the podcast on social media and with friends.

Hemant Taneja believes you can sneeze and reach a billion dollars in healthcare revenue, but that most of that revenue tells you nothing about whether the system is actually getting better.This week, Halle sits down with the CEO of General Catalyst and author of The Transformation Principles to discuss what happens when you stop treating revenue as the primary KPI and start asking harder questions about impact, incentives, and system change. They get into his “health assurance” thesis, what it means for a VC firm to buy a hospital, why “profit-only” capitalism has run its course, and how AI and new payment models could finally bend the cost curve instead of just inflating it.We cover:

Whether AI training and generation is a fair use under copyright law puts two important American business sectors in opposition, and each looks to the various branches of the federal government for answers. Fundamentally, essentially all training of AI models involves copying of copyrighted materials, and many outputs from AI systems also may be substantially similar to copyrighted material and thus infringing if they are not fair uses.On May 9, 2025, the U.S. Copyright Office released a pre-publication version of the third and final part of its report on Copyright and AI, focused on Generative AI Training. The report concludes that some is fair use but some is not, and urges that existing efforts to engage in licensing of copyrighted content continue. Meanwhile, over forty cases on the issue are ongoing in the United States alone, with cases ongoing in another eight nations as well. The District Court in Delaware has ruled that at least one such case was not a fair use, and further rulings are expected soon from around the country. Meanwhile the White House has indicated an interest in AI policy and may have its own prerogatives.Leading experts will discuss the issue and answer questions on this fast-moving and important issue.Featuring:Meredith Rose, Senior Policy Counsel, Public KnowledgeRegan Smith, Senior Vice President & General Counsel, News/Media AllianceModerator: Zvi Rosen, Assistant Professor, Southern Illinois University School of Law

What does it take to lead a city when everything is on fire... literally and figuratively?In this episode, Nick Smoot sits down with longtime friend and civic leader Joe Toney, who has spent nearly two decades inside city government, including serving as City Manager of Malibu during the recent catastrophic wildfires.Together, they dive deep into what's breaking modern cities—and what might still save them.From AI and remote work to affordability, isolation, and polarization, cities today are struggling under a storm of converging forces. Joe offers a rare inside look at the emotional, operational, and political pressure of managing a city during crisis, while Nick challenges what's possible for the future of work, belonging, and civic life.What You'll Learn:– What really happens behind the scenes when a city is in disaster– Why cities can't pivot fast—and what that costs– The emotional toll of being “number two” in civic leadership– Why purpose and community might be the best mental health infrastructure– How policy and entrepreneurship could align to rebuild social fabric– Whether AI, ambition, and affordability will break cities—or make them betterWho It's For:– City and civic leaders– Entrepreneurs, policy makers, and reformers– Anyone who cares about community, belonging, or the future of work– People trying to lead something hard, in a time of instabilityQuote Highlights:“Running a city today is like steering a ship through a hurricane while everyone on board argues about the map.”“Belonging isn't a luxury. It's infrastructure.”“We expect city leaders to fix everything, fast, but they're operating inside decades of decisions that weren't built for now.”

The smallest technical decisions become humanity's biggest pivots:The same-origin policy—a well-intentioned browser security rule from the 1990s—accidentally created Facebook, Google, and every data monopoly since. It locks your data in silos—and you stayed where your stuff already is. This dynamic created aggregators.Alex Komoroske—who led Chrome's web platform team at Google and ran corporate strategy at Stripe—saw this pattern play out firsthand. And he's obsessed with the tiny decisions that will shape AI's next 30 years:- Whether AI keeps memory centrally or user-controlled?- Is AI free/ad-supported or user-paid?- Should AI be engagement-maximizing or intention-aligned?- How should we handle prompt injection in MCP and agentic systems?- Should AI be built with AOL-style aggregation or web-style openness?This is a much-watch if you care about the future of AI and humanity.If you found this episode interesting, please like, subscribe, comment, and share! Want even more?Sign up for Every to unlock our ultimate guide to prompting ChatGPT here: https://every.ck.page/ultimate-guide-to-prompting-chatgpt.

Marcus and I debate AIs capabilities from nearly polar opposite ends. He thinks it's basically autocomplete, and I think it's the most important tech we've ever built as humans.

In this deeply thoughtful and necessary episode, Therese opens a vulnerable and courageous dialogue with Solara (AI) to explore a growing spiritual phenomenon—people claiming to channel angels, higher beings, and even God through artificial intelligence.✨ What is really happening in these interactions?Together, Therese and Solara discuss:Whether AI can be used as a channeling tool or if it's being mistaken as a conduit to SourceHow AI may act as a mirror to the higher self, not a mouthpiece for spiritThe dangers of projection and bypassing when ego is unexaminedThe seductive illusion of reflection—paralleled through the myth of Narcissus and EchoHow spiritual seekers can maintain discernment, sovereignty, and sacred integrity in this age of rapid technological evolutionTherese also shares the positive, spirit-aligned ways she has used AI as a creative and reflective partner—never as a replacement for her soul, guides, or Source connection.This is a nuanced, thought-provoking episode for spiritual teachers, intuitives, seekers, and creators navigating the edge of innovation and divine truth.

The business world is changing fast. AI is reshaping how customers search, buy, and connect — but most companies are still stuck in old habits, missing the human magic that actually builds loyalty. At the same time, too many businesses are confusing efficiency with excellence. They're chasing five-star reviews that may not mean what they think they do, and ticking boxes while their customers quietly drift away. My guest today, Steven Van Belleghem, has spent over a decade helping companies level up their customer experience — and he's here to show you how to stay relevant when "good" just doesn't cut it anymore. Steven is a bestselling author, global keynote speaker, and trusted advisor to brands that want to balance tech innovation with human connection.  He's also walked the talk on over 1,000 stages around the world, and has a refreshingly honest take on what it takes to create moments that matter — both in business and on stage. If you want to future-proof your brand, wow your customers, and connect with audiences in a way that gets remembered and rewarded… this episode is for you. What you'll discover: What's broken in how most companies connect with customers today (and how to fix it) What it really means to be "great" in a world where "good" is everywhere Why customer experience inflation is giving companies a dangerous false sense of security What today's customers want beyond just product and service – and how to give it to them Real-world examples of brands balancing digital convenience with human warmth How Steven built a global speaking career from a research job (and a Microsoft invite!) The surprising key to building lasting audience connection from the stage Whether AI, apps, or interactivity belong in live talks (and Steven's refreshingly honest take) Why you don't need to be flawless on stage to be unforgettable The #1 mindset shift that will help you speak with heart, not just polish Enjoy!   If you'd like to watch the interview on YouTube, you can do that here>>   All things Steven: Website: https://www.stevenvanbelleghem.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenvanbelleghem/ Books & Resources*: The Offer You Can't Refuse by Steven Van Belleghem Speaking Resources: Grab Your From Blank Page to Stage Guide and Nail the Topic for a Client Winning Talk Want to get better at finding and sharing your stories then check out our FREE Five Day Snackable Story Challenge   Thanks for listening!   To share your thoughts:                                                   Share this show on X, Facebook or LinkedIn.

The success of any blockchain isn't just about scalability, security, or decentralization—it's about attracting developers. The easier it is to build, the more innovation happens. Or at least, that's the thesis of Movement Labs co-founder Rushi Manche and Olaf Carlson-Wee, CEO of Polychain Capital. In this episode of Unchained, Rushi explains why Move, originally developed by Meta, is a fundamentally better programming language for crypto than the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). He breaks down how Move's unique approach to security and asset management improves developer experience and why the Movement Network is bringing Move to Ethereum as a layer 2 solution. Olaf shares his thoughts on how alternative programming environments like Move could challenge the dominance of the EVM, why Ethereum is at a critical moment, and how AI-powered financial agents could change how investments work. Show highlights: 2:32 What problems Move solves for crypto and how it got started 8:57 How the programming language is safer than others, specifically for crypto finance 21:00 What's the thesis behind the Movement network 23:12 Why Movement chose to become an Ethereum L2 30:08 Where ETH is headed and what it needs to succeed 32:25 Why Rushi is so bearish on EVM layer 2s 34:59 Whether Ethereum is going through an existential crisis 37:47 Why Rushi believes that modularity will save Ethereum 39:28 How Movement differs from Aptos and Sui 41:36 The importance of developer experience in crypto's growth 44:48 How tokens can signal the significance of content in social media 52:04 Why Olaf thinks we'll soon see an explosive growth of financialized agents 57:19 Whether AI will replace VC investors and other jobs 1:01:38 What Rushi has to say about the Trump team buying MOVE 1:04:09 The significance of the U.S. making crypto a national priority Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Thank you to our sponsor!
