I’m excited to dive into the Deepseek hype, the Chinese AI startup that claims to have a model as good as ChatGPT for a fraction of the cost. We’ll talk about what that means for the future of AI, national AI models and censorship, and why every country will soon have its own “filtered” version. Then we’ll switch gears to Piers Morgan and Tucker Carlson’s fascinating exchange, unpacking the art of debate and intellectual sparring. We’ll also look at Saudi Arabia’s plan to reshape sports by buying up global superstars and creating role models for future generations. And for those who love power and influence, I have a must-listen for you: Candace Owens’ latest series on Emmanuel Macron.

Today's episode:

[00:41] Let's talk about the most important conversations that happened over the last 7 days.

[01:02] Deepseek is a Chinese startup that developed an AI model.

[02:07] The stock market goes up and down. Is deepseek a big deal?

[03:03] If something is prohibited, greedy players always find a way to make a profit out of it.

[04:02] New models being introduced is expected. The deepseek model also has censorship.

[05:05] It might end up where every country or region will have their own AI model with biased suggestions based on their priorities.

[06:02] I talk about the main reason why aliens should exist. Naive humans can't be it.

[07:02] Tucker Carlson's and Piers Morgan's conversation in Riyadh. They pressed each other using sophisticated challenges. It was an amazing language battle.

[08:01] People should approach disagreements in this way.

[09:11] Another great conversation that Piers Morgan had was with a Saudi Prince. It was about how sports events shouldn't have anything to do with politics.

[10:56] The Saudis are trying to attract athletic role models for the future of their children.

[12:54] Back to conspiracy corners. I love Candice Owens. She can be controversial with some of her deep dives.

[13:48] Her next series about the history of Emmanuel Macron and his wife is super fascinating.

I’m excited to share news about a new series from Darryl Cooper, host of the Martyr Made Podcast. His latest series is all about World War II, told from the perspective of ordinary Germans. It’s a fascinating look at how ideologies take hold and change societies. We’ll use that as a springboard to talk about how we receive and accept compliments, then dive into the software industrial complex and how it creates unnecessary dependencies. Finally we’ll look at how AI is going to simplify those systems and change industries. It’s a wild ride through history, human behavior and innovation.

Today's episode:

[00:40] Podcaster Darryl Cooper is back with a new series on World War II from the perspective of ordinary Germans.

[01:30] Darryl makes very well researched long-form podcasts on historical topics.

[02:50] It's important to understand the nuance and what happens when ideology and narrative can dominate a nation and drive certain behaviors.

[03:36] He never takes sides and does extensive research with thousands of sources.

[04:40] I like the idea of why this conversation is important.

[06:28] I share a new perspective on receiving compliments.

[08:20] How women sometimes try to minimize their compliments.

[09:01] How the software industrial complex has been creating unnecessary jobs within many industries and how AI is going to put these software specific rules out of business. This was a recent topic on the All-In Podcast.

[09:37] These big companies have created software that is very complex to operate and requires a specialist.

[10:57] The main users of these tools and software were people who graduated from MBA schools. People who could analyze and collate data were necessary.

[13:13] If something can be done with AI, we won't need these people with MBAs to compile all of the data.

[14:40] Tool providers have been trying to make their tools stickier and harder to replace.

[15:19] People with training and certifications in these complex tools would almost become like a free sales force for the product.

If you’ve ever wondered how disruption leads to new beginnings, this episode is for you. I’m diving into the cycles of history, from tearing down the old to building the new and how understanding those patterns can give you hope. We’ll look at The Fourth Turning Theory, the evolution of institutions and why change is a superpower for growth. Along the way I’ll share personal stories, risk and resilience insights and even a bit of Greek mythology to tie it all together. Get ready to see the bigger picture and learn how to navigate the “winter” we’re in and prepare for the “spring” ahead.

Today's episode:

[01:48] History goes through cycles. Every cycle repeats in about 80 to 100 years. These cycles consist of four phases: spring, summer, fall, and winter. Currently, we are in winter.

[02:53] Things we can expect as this cycle continues. We can expect further dismantling and disruption of old institutions and old forms of control over territory.

[03:35] History doesn't like inefficiencies and friction.

[04:32] We can also expect changes in forms of money.

[05:14] I like the idea of being close to something new and a fresh start.

[07:00] Last week, I was optimistic after Mark Zuckerberg made a speech admitting that Facebook, Meta, and WhatsApp were censoring posts. These companies are now going to allow more free content.

[08:32] He probably senses this is going to be the new norm.

[09:59] I've been following Danielle Paige. She recently moved from Florida to Los Angeles, and her house burned down.

[10:38] She had just moved and invested in this new home.

[12:15] She's lost so much, but she still has a personal brand, followers, and tremendous resiliency. She has the resources to make a lot of money.

[14:17] When things happen, it feels like we've lost a lot but in reality our potential still isn't impacted.

[15:34] I was also listening to the PBD Podcast and a former CIA agent was the guest. He was talking about how we take less risks as individuals and more as a group.

[17:43] I share a conversation I had with my youngest about Greek mythology and resonating with our favorite characters.
