The Diary Of A CEO

WHAT YEAR WILL AI REPLACE EVERYONE?

What would you do if the technology we already use every day was about to become more powerful than almost anyone is prepared for? That’s the question I kept coming back to in this conversation with Daniel Kokotajlo. Daniel was an Artificial Intelligence (AI) safety researcher at OpenAI who walked away from the company because he was deeply concerned by the speed at which superintelligence was being built and whether the people building it had a real plan to keep it under control. Back in 2021, Daniel made specific predictions about what AI would look like by 2026 and many of them have already happened. Now he’s looking ahead at what he believes could happen before the end of this decade and it’s something I think everyone running a business, building a career, or simply living in the modern world needs to understand. Daniel isn’t speaking like someone trying to scare people - he’s speaking like someone who has spent years looking at the raw data, the incentives, the corporations, the governments and the ACTUAL speed of progress. We discussed things like: - Why he chose to leave OpenAI and speak publicly. - Why he believes superintelligence could arrive in the next few years. - How AI could fundamentally change jobs, the economy and the military. - The race between companies and countries makes this so difficult to control. - What ordinary people should actually do right now to prepare. - Whether there is still a way to prevent this from going badly. I use AI every day. I invest in companies using AI. I can see the extraordinary upside of this technology and it is going to continue becoming a massive part of all of our lives and careers. The question is whether we understand it quickly enough to make better decisions. There was a moment towards the end of this conversation where I told Daniel that I could see how much he cares about this. And I meant that. Care itself makes others feel care. If you're trying to understand where AI is really heading, I highly recommend watching or listening to this episode. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

He Risked Everything To Warn You: No One Is Ready For What's Coming, And The AI Companies Know It!

Ex-OpenAI researcher Daniel Kokotajlo walked away from $2 million rather than stay silent, and now reveals why he believes there's a 70% chance AI leads to human extinction, why superintelligence could arrive before the end of the decade, and the one plan he thinks could still save us all! Daniel Kokotajlo is a former OpenAI researcher and one of the world's leading AI forecasters. He is the founder of the AI Futures Project and the lead author of 'AI 2027,’ the widely-read scenario mapping the trajectory of artificial intelligence. His follow-up, 'AI 2040: Plan A,’ sets out how the world could still navigate superintelligence safely. He explains: ■ What he saw inside OpenAI that made him walk away ■ Why the people building AI privately believe it's coming even sooner than the public is being told ■ What happens if AI becomes powerful enough that humans can no longer control it, and why he puts the odds of catastrophe as high as 70% ■ Why almost every job could be automated, and what that means for the next generation ■ The plan he believes could still lead to abundance and a future worth living in 00:00:00 Intro 00:02:34 Why This AI Mission Could Affect Everyone 00:04:21 Why the Average Person Should Care About AI 00:08:29 Are AI Experts Overreacting or Sounding the Alarm? 00:10:06 Why He Joined OpenAI—and What He Saw Inside 00:13:24 Why He Left OpenAI 00:15:53 What It Was Like Inside OpenAI During ChatGPT's Launch 00:17:16 The $2 Million NDA Controversy Explained 00:19:30 Is Full AI Automation Coming Faster Than We Think? 00:24:19 The AI 2027 Forecast That Changed the Conversation 00:26:33 AGI vs. Superintelligence: The Difference That Matters 00:27:17 How Robots Could Soon Become Part of Everyday Life 00:30:23 Why AI Works More Like the Human Brain Than You Think 00:36:14 Can AI Ever Be Truly Creative? 00:41:15 What Are the Real Odds of Human Extinction From AI? 00:47:58 What AI Will Do to Jobs 00:54:45 The Skills That Will Still Matter in an AI World 01:00:21 AI 2040: What the Future Could Look Like 01:04:36 The Different Futures AI Could Create 01:09:33 Will AI Become Earth's Apex Species? 01:13:18 How AI CEOs Really Make Decisions 01:15:37 Will AI Decide the 2028 Election? 01:18:58 Is There a Safe Path to Accelerating AI? 01:22:11 By 2031, AI Could Do 20% of Cognitive Work 01:25:15 Should Everyone Receive AI Dividends? 01:32:41 What It Will Feel Like to Live Through the AI Revolution 01:34:11 How People Find Purpose After AI Replaces Jobs 01:46:12 Would He Shut Down AI Forever If He Could? 01:49:56 What Can We Actually Do About AI? 01:57:25 Is It Already Too Late to Change Course?

PROOF ALIENS ACTUALLY EXIST

Are you ready to learn if aliens REALLY exist? Because right now, so many of us are caught between UFO files, AI panic, Mars colonisation and the very human question of whether we are completely alone… It is one of the questions Neil deGrasse Tyson is asked again and again. Neil is one of the world’s most recognised astrophysicists. He runs the Hayden Planetarium, hosts StarTalk and has spent his life making the biggest questions in science feel understandable. This is his second time on the show. I told Neil something during our conversation that sums up exactly why I wanted to speak again: he's improved the lives of arguably hundreds of millions of people - he has this ability to take the most extraordinary questions seriously without making extraordinary claims too easily. When he first came on the show, people didn't only learn the science - Neil took these massive, terrifying concepts like black holes, simulation theory and the cosmic perspective and made them make sense. This time we spoke about: - Why humans are so obsessed with aliens. - Whether intelligent life probably exists somewhere else. - What the UFO footage really shows. - How unclear evidence is not proof. - What aliens might think of us. - Will going to Mars actually save humanity? - Is AI an existential threat? - Why the question of God keeps appearing whenever we talk about the universe. I told Neil that watching *Cosmos* was one of the things that made me more curious about aliens, meaning, purpose and God. It made me feel small, but in a way that made me want to understand more. Then he said something that completely reframed it for me: “Not only are we alive in this universe, the universe is alive within us.” That's what a conversation with Neil does - it opens your mind in a direction you didn't expect. Near the end, I told him that the impact he has had on my life can be summed up in one word: curiosity. Expanding my mind through which I see the world. SO, for anyone curious about what is real, what is possible and what we might be getting wrong about the universe, I really recommend watching/listening to this conversation.

Neil deGrasse Tyson: The Whistleblowers Were Right About Aliens

No.1 Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson returns to reveal what the government whistleblowers are actually telling us, why aliens almost certainly exist, why Mars can't save humanity from disaster, and whether science has left any room for God! Neil deGrasse Tyson is America's most famous astrophysicist and Director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York City. He hosts the StarTalk podcast and is the author of over 20 books, including his latest, 'Take Me To Your Leader'. He explains: ◼️ Why the scale of the universe makes it nearly impossible for us to be alone ◼️ Why it would be easier to fix Earth than escape it, and why Mars won't save us ◼️ What actually happens to your body if you fall into a black hole ◼️ Why human creativity is your most powerful protection against AI ◼️ How every atom in your body was forged inside a dying star 00:00:00 Intro 00:02:39 Why Are Humans So Fascinated by the Universe? 00:07:50 How Small Are We in the Universe? 00:16:39 How Understanding the Universe Can Change Your View of Religion 00:21:13 How Did the Big Bang Actually Happen? 00:23:58 What Existed Before the Big Bang? 00:24:59 The Craziest Theories About How the Universe Began 00:27:09 Did Obama Reveal Something About Aliens? 00:29:23 Why Intelligent Alien Life Could Exist 00:33:41 What Might We Never Know About the Universe? 00:35:39 Is Infinity Actually Possible? 00:37:23 How Do Black Holes Actually Work? 00:46:20 Ads 00:48:39 Why Aliens Might Communicate With Other Earth Creatures First 00:52:27 How Far Could Humans Travel Across the Universe? 00:54:14 What Happens as Nations Add More Satellites to Orbit? 01:00:18 Who Makes the Laws in Space? 01:00:51 Why Is Everyone Racing Back to the Moon? 01:03:14 What Happens If China Gets to the Moon First? 01:03:47 What Valuable Resources Are Hidden on the Moon? 01:05:04 Could the Moon Become a Tourist Destination? 01:05:35 Ads 01:06:37 Is Any of the UFO Footage Actually Compelling? 01:08:26 Would Humanity Be Ready to Meet Actual Aliens? 01:10:49 Why Do Alien Sightings Follow the Same Archetypes? 01:12:34 Why Do People on DMT See Aliens? 01:20:59 Are We Living in a Simulation?

DUSTIN POIRIER SPEAKS OUT AFTER ARREST

For 20 years, Dustin Poirier walked towards a level of pressure most of us might never understand. He turned professional as an MMA fighter and spent nearly two decades building a legacy as one of the most violent, resilient lightweights the UFC has ever seen. He fought 41 times, knocked out Conor McGregor, went through brutal wars with Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway, plus won an interim world title. Then at 36, the fighting stopped. But I didn't sit down with Dustin just to talk about the UFC. I wanted to understand what happens when the gloves come off, the calendar empties and the one thing that gave your life structure for two decades is gone. Dustin brought up a line that stayed with me: "If you're lucky, you get to die twice." The first death happens when you retire. The crowds vanish, the character you played for your adult life is buried and you have to work out who you are without it. To understand why that first death hurts so much, you have to understand how that identity was born. But everything has a cost. As Dustin told me: "I just wanna dream again." We spoke openly about losing your identity doesn't excuse a mistake, and he knows that. But it does show how fragile the transition out of elite sport can be. We went deep into: - Why retirement has been harder than he expected. - His recent arrest at Atlanta airport: the role alcohol played and the public criticism that followed. - The fragmented relationship with his father, which led to how fighting became the place he put all of his anger. - Just how lack of structure can make alcohol dangerous. - Brain trauma, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) and the long-term cost of contact sports. - There being no roadmap for fighters when they retire. - The Good Fight Foundation: from water wells in Uganda to backpacks for kids in Louisiana. This isn't just about fighting. It's about what happens to anyone when the thing that defined them is suddenly gone. It's the good, the bad AND the human.

WORLD EXCLUSIVE: Dustin Poirier: "I Deleted Social Media After The Incident

UFC legend Dustin Poirier reveals why he can't bring himself to watch the arrest video, the paid deals he's already lost, his vow to never drink again, and why the hardest fight of his life is happening off the mat. Dustin Poirier (“The Diamond”) is a retired UFC lightweight fighter with a 30-10 record, best known as the only man to knock out Conor McGregor in MMA. He founded The Good Fight Foundation with his wife, Jolie, in 2018 and now appears periodically as a desk analyst on UFC broadcasts. In June 2026, he was arrested for public intoxication at an Atlanta airport, after which he shared that he’s struggling with alcohol. He explains: ◼ What losing your career identity feels like, and how to rebuild when the fight is over ◼ How a childhood of poverty, detention and no father figure shaped the man he became ◼ Why elite athletes often fall apart when they retire, and what to do about it ◼ What going to therapy taught him about the pain he didn't know he was carrying ◼ The mental shift that turned losing to Conor McGregor into beating him 00:00 Intro 03:13 How Dustin Poirier's Early Life Shaped Everything That Followed 04:19 The Childhood Experiences That Defined Dustin's Mindset 06:01 How Dustin's Relationship With His Parents Changed His Life 06:59 Why Dustin Believes His Upbringing Made Him Who He Is 08:21 From School Fights to Juvenile Detention: What Went Wrong? 09:36 How Alcohol Entered Dustin's Life at a Young Age 10:36 The Airport Incident: What Really Happened? 12:41 Living With an Alcoholic Father 15:44 Dustin's Battle With Depression 18:34 What Therapy Taught Dustin About Himself 22:48 Was Fighting an Escape From Emotional Pain? 23:48 Why So Many Retired Athletes End Up in Trouble 26:51 Why Dustin Chose to Get Sober 28:28 What Dustin Was Doing Before the Airport Incident 31:11 Dustin Reacts After Watching the Airport Video 34:22 What Charges Did Dustin Face? 35:45 The Difficult Conversation Dustin Had With His Wife 38:49 Ads 43:11 Why Viral Clips Rarely Tell the Full Story 46:35 Dustin Responds to Jon Jones' Viral Post 48:29 Why Dustin Says His Mental Health Still Fluctuates 52:16 The Hidden Cost of Bottling Up Your Emotions 53:59 How Dustin Is Finding Purpose Beyond Fighting 55:07 Can Anything Replace the Feeling of Fighting? 56:44 What Other Fighters Say About Life After Retirement 58:05 How the Airport Incident Changed Dustin's Career Plans 58:44 Does Dustin Still Have Sponsors? 59:39 What's Next for Dustin Professionally? 01:02:51 Ads 01:04:40 Is Dustin Poirier Financially Set for Life? 01:06:48 Why Dustin's Farewell Fight Means So Much 01:14:38 Was Dustin's Family Ready for Him to Retire? 01:15:03 Dustin's Biggest Fear About Brain Damage 01:18:42 Does Dustin Feel Different After Everything He's Been Through? 01:19:55 Could Dustin Ever Return to the UFC? 01:20:39 The Latest Update on Dustin's Father 01:23:59 Does Dustin Fear Getting That Phone Call About His Father? 01:24:29 How Dustin's Mother Copes With His Father's Struggles 01:24:56 What's Next for Dustin Poirier? 01:26:32 How He's Trying to Make the World Better Follow Dustin: Instagram - https://link.thediaryofaceo.com/E2OdPNk X - https://link.thediaryofaceo.com/3XxRxB YouTube - https://link.thediaryofaceo.com/3DQVB2W The Good Fight Foundation - https://link.thediaryofaceo.com/AbsZdY5 The Diary Of A CEO: ◼ Join DOAC circle here - https://doaccircle.com/ ◼ Buy The Diary Of A CEO book here - https://smarturl.it/DOACbook ◼ The 1% Diary is back - limited time only: https://bit.ly/3YFbJbt ◼ The Diary Of A CEO Conversation Cards: https://linkly.link/2hm7r ◼ Get email updates - https://bit.ly/diary-of-a-ceo-yt ◼ Follow Steven - https://g2ul0.app.link/gnGqL4IsKKb Sponsors: Wispr - Get 14 days of Wispr Flow for free at https://wisprflow.ai/steven Function Health - https://Functionhealth.com/DOAC to sign up for $365 a year.

HOW TO OVERCOME ANXIETY

THIS SOLVES GRAY HAIR!

How much physical energy does it ACTUALLY cost you to worry about the future? Dr Martin Picard's research argues stress isn't just a mental weight - it's an expensive biological tax on your cells. In his lab, when human cells were exposed to stress hormones, the energy cost of just staying alive inside those cells shot up by 60% (He’s also the scientist whose team literally sliced a human brain into 703 cubes just to map how energy moves through it 🤯) You have a stressful morning, a difficult conversation, or a few anxious thoughts you can't shake, and by 2pm you feel completely drained. Your mind is tired, but your cells are genuinely exhausted. Dr Martin Picard is a Professor of Behavioural Medicine at Columbia University and I sat down with him to understand how our emotions and lived experiences physically change the mitochondria inside us - the tiny structures responsible for producing all the energy we rely on. My energy has always felt a bit like roulette. Some days I wake up feeling incredible, other days I feel like I've done the exact same things but I've got nothing in the tank. Martin completely reframed how I look at this. Energy isn't just a biological default; it's one of the most important scientific questions of our lives. We discussed things like: - Why you can do everything “right” (sleep, diet, exercise) and still wake up completely exhausted. - The physical tax of stress and what a single anxious morning does to your cells. - Why mitochondria are the missing link behind burnout, depression, and chronic fatigue. - What actually dictates your cellular energy day-to-day. - The truth about whether fasting, meditation, deep purpose and relationships can rewrite your biology. This is a conversation about understanding what your body is constantly responding to where your energy is actually going and why so many of us feel tired in ways that more sleep or more food don't always solve. If you feel flat, anxious, or exhausted and can't explain why - this one's for you. #podcast #shorts #hair #health

YOU'VE BEEN LIED TO ABOUT FAT LOSS

"Women need to stop trying to be losers." When Dr Stephanie Estima said this to me a few minutes into our conversation, she didn't mean it as an insult. She meant that almost every piece of health advice women have been given for decades has been built entirely around loss. Stephanie is a women’s health expert, chiropractor and author who specialises in female physiology. At one point during our chat, I looked across at her and said, “I can see you’re a little bit pissed off”. And I could. After 20 years in clinical practice, she says the same pattern kept showing up in women of every age and background and she's had enough. She believes women have been told their worth is based on how small they are. Stephanie wants to change that by helping women understand how the female body actually works and what it needs to GAIN, not lose. Here is what we covered: - Why the modern pursuit of "skinny" comes at a devastating physiological cost. - The exact shift women need to make to build real, functional muscle. - Lifting exercises women should absolutely never stop doing as they age. - What the data actually says about training around your menstrual cycle. - Why tendons, ligaments and bone density matter infinitely more than the number on the scales. What I appreciated most about Stephanie was how intensely practical she was. She didn't just challenge the old rules - she gave me the precise blueprint for what to do instead. If you’ve been doing everything you were told to do and your body still isn’t responding, this one is for you (and every man reading this should listen to it too if they want to better understand the women in their lives). Walking away from this conversation, it made me realise that maybe the goal was never just to become smaller. Maybe the real goal is to build a body you can trust for the next 50 years. The episode with Dr Stephanie Estima is live now on all platforms ❤️👊🏾

The Mitochondria Doctor: This Reverses Gray Hair, Makes You Feel Young Again & Fixes Disease!

THE POWER IN SAYING LESS

SELL YOUR STOCKS NOW...

Are we confusing how important AI is with how safe it is to invest in? Today I’m sitting down with Jeremy Grantham - a man whose firm managed up to $165 billion and helped create one of the world's first index funds. He has spent more than 60 years studying markets, money, and human behaviour. Along the way, he’s built a legendary reputation for spotting financial ‘bubbles’ long before most people admit they exist - those rare, dangerous moments when pure excitement and FOMO push asset prices completely out of reality, far beyond what they are actually worth. And Jeremy believes that exact pattern is happening with AI right now... We broke this down some more: - Could AI be revolutionary and still become a dangerous bubble? - Why do the most exciting stocks often fall the hardest? - What would happen if AI stocks dropped by 70%? - How did Amazon fall 92% and still become one of the biggest companies on earth? - Are markets driven more by psychology than numbers? - Why is Jeremy moving his own money out of US stocks? - Could house prices still have further to fall? And this conversation didn’t stop at markets… Jeremy also opened up about what’s happening to human fertility… He broke down why sperm counts have dropped so dramatically since 1970 and the hidden role that pesticides, plastics, and PFAS are playing that most people completely fail to realise. What became clear to me during our chat is that Jeremy isn't just warning us about AI. He's warning us about our behaviour around risk - the assumption that because something will matter in the future, any price we pay for it today must be justified. He wants us to know that something can be revolutionary and STILL be overpriced… For anyone trying to understand what we might be missing in this AI moment and beyond, this is an essential conversation.

Billionaire's WARNING: I'm SELLING. The Crash Is Already Here!

Billionaire investor Jeremy Grantham reveals why it will burst, the exact strategy to protect your money, and why house prices need to fall 30%. Jeremy Grantham is the co-founder of GMO, an institutional investment firm in Boston, and serves as the firm’s long-term investment strategist. He is also the chairman of the Grantham Foundation For the Preservation of the Environment, and co-author of “The Making of a Permabear: The Perils of Long-term Investing in a Short-term World”.

WHY SEX ISN'T ENJOYABLE FOR YOU

I was shocked to learn that in some studies, up to 27% of people on birth control report a decrease in their libido or sex drive. And yet, how many people are ACTUALLY talking about this? That’s why today I’m sitting down with Dr Rachel Rubin. Rachel is a board-certified urologist and sexual medicine specialist and one of ONLY 80 doctors in the US trained to treat both male and female sexual health. Before we started recording, Rachel said “I’m filled with rage”… She explained that people are being denied basic information about their bodies, hormones, sexual health and the treatments that could improve their quality of life… I said to Rachel in this conversation that it’s staggering that so many women are still being let down by the medical system. It makes you think - if men were in this exact situation, would this be the case? We discussed things like: - Why so many women are told their symptoms are normal when they are actually treatable. - Why Testosterone is not just a male hormone. - How hormones can affect UTIs, libido, pain during sex and overall quality of life. - If doctors are properly trained in women’s sexual health. - Why men need to understand the main topic of this episode too. What became clear to me is that this isn’t just a conversation about sex. It’s about health, relationships, confidence, ageing, pain, shame and the way people feel in their own bodies. At the end of the conversation I told Rachel that there are very few people who have her credibility and experience, with her ability to explain these subjects in a way people can actually understand. For anyone who wants to better understand their own body, or better understand someone they love - I really recommend watching this conversation.

Dr Rachel Rubin: "I'm Filled With Rage!" Your Doctor Was Never Taught About Women's Bodies!

Women’s sex lives are being quietly destroyed, and their doctors don’t even know it… Sexual medicine specialist Dr Rachel Rubin reveals the hidden hormone crisis, how prescription drugs can impact sex, and the treatments most doctors aren't prescribing like Hormone Replacement Therapy. Dr Rachel Rubin is a board-certified urologist and sexual medicine specialist, and one of only 80 doctors in the US trained to treat both male and female sexual health. She recently played a pivotal role in the removal of the FDA's boxed warning on menopausal hormone therapy - one of the most significant healthcare policy changes affecting midlife women in decades. She is also the Founder of Rachel Rubin MD and Director-at-Large of the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health. She explains: ◼️ Why most doctors fail women on sexual health, and how to build a team that won't ◼️ Why menopause is a whole-body hormone event, and the treatments that actually help ◼️ The physical barrier blocking orgasm in 1 in 4 women, and how to fix it ◼️ How a tight pelvic floor could be ruining your sex life ◼️ Why your sexual pain and low libido are physical problems your doctor keeps missing 00:00:00 Why Women's Healthcare Is Still Neglected 00:04:39 If Men Had These Symptoms, Would Medicine Be Better? 00:07:24 Why Even Gynaecologists Misunderstand The Clitoris 00:08:25 What You'll Learn From This Conversation 00:11:29 The Question Women Ask Most 00:11:54 Why Testosterone Matters For Women 00:14:03 How Birth Control Can Kill Libido 00:16:47 How GLP-1s And Antidepressants Affect Sex Drive 00:18:48 Should Women Take Testosterone? 00:19:52 Understanding The Menstrual Cycle 00:23:33 Why Perimenopause Starts Earlier Than You Think 00:25:41 What Is HRT And How Does It Work? 00:26:23 Does Estrogen Increase Cancer Risk? 00:27:49 Why HRT Got A Bad Reputation 00:29:46 The 4 Types Of HRT Explained 00:31:41 What Really Causes UTIs? 00:33:44 Vaginal Hormones Explained 00:37:41 Does Cranberry Juice Actually Help UTIs? 00:39:11 When Should You Start HRT? 00:41:16 A HRT Success Story 00:45:23 Ads 00:47:27 Is Pain During Sex Normal? 00:50:08 How To Have Better Sex 00:52:34 What Your Pelvic Floor Actually Does 00:54:28 Signs You Have Pelvic Floor Problems 00:56:04 Is It Normal Not To Orgasm? 00:58:10 What Is A Clitoral Adhesion? 00:59:35 How Sex Toys Can Improve Intimacy 01:00:47 What Men Get Wrong About Arousal 01:02:37 What Happens To Women After Orgasm? 01:03:35 Do Women Get Anything From Penetrative Sex? 01:05:20 How Porn Changed Our Expectations 01:07:38 What Healthy Porn Looks Like 01:08:52 How Porn Can Damage Relationships 01:10:52 Ads 01:13:01 Why You Should Change Up Your Sex Life 01:14:15 Why We Hide Our Sexual Struggles 01:17:56 Responsive Vs Spontaneous Desire Explained 01:20:38 The Question Every Couple Should Ask 01:21:31 What If You Want Different Things In Bed? 01:23:50 How To Tell Your Partner About Kinks 01:25:07 The Secrets People Hide From Their Partners 01:26:21 How To Tell If She's Faking Orgasms 01:28:26 How Stress And Dopamine Influence Libido 01:30:12 Should Sex Be Scheduled Or Spontaneous? 01:32:04 How Self-Esteem Affects Sex 01:33:43 The Most Important Thing We Missed 01:35:46 Better Communication, Better Sex 01:43:30 Why This Work Matters So Much 01:44:37 What Needs To Change In Your Own Life?

'THEY LIED ABOUT TRUMP'

I've been waiting 10 years to ask someone these questions, and today I finally get to do that. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been fascinated by American politics. Back then, I used to watch the elections, every interview and all the debates from my bedroom, trying to figure out why a system thousands of miles away felt so consequential to my life. So when I was given the chance to have a sit-down conversation with Vice President Of The United States JD Vance, I knew I didn’t just want to ask him about headlines. I wanted to understand the person behind the headlines. At the start of the conversation, I said to him: “To understand the people that are sitting in front of me, you have to get a picture of their early context.” And the reality is, I didn't truly know his context… What I really wanted to find out by speaking with VP is: How much of what people think they know about VP Vance is ACTUALLY true? Long before he entered the White House, VP grew up in a home shaped by addiction, poverty, instability, and a revolving door of father figures. I went into this conversation wanting to understand how a kid raised in addiction and instability became the Vice President of the United States. And then get to the bottom of what he really thinks about everything happening in the world right now with no questions left unsaid. We spoke about: - The childhood instability that shaped the way he sees people. - The conversation that changed his view of Donald Trump. - His return to Christianity after years as an atheist. - Whether he wants to be President one day. - The immigration debate that is dividing America. - Why doesn't he trust the UK Government? - Whether he thinks aliens exist… - When will a proposed ceasefire deal with Iran happen? - Navigating one of the most demanding jobs on earth while raising a young family. One of the things that I've come to learn is just try and meet everybody as I experience them. Regardless of where you stand politically, this conversation goes deeper than politics. And as a podcaster, having these conversations is important, as it goes beyond the headlines and shows you how the people in power actually think.

A Yale Law School graduate and former US Senator for Ohio, he is the bestselling author of 'Hillbilly Elegy' and his new book 'Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith'. He explains: ◼️ Why one stable person in your childhood can determine your entire future ◼️ Why he went from calling Trump 'America's Hitler' to becoming his Vice President ◼️ Why governments lying to young people about war are destroying the West ◼️ Why AI won't take your job but will make the rich dramatically richer ◼️ Why the speed of immigration is what really divides communities 00:00:00 Intro 00:02:58 How Childhood Shaped Who You Became 00:05:54 You Were Put Up For Adoption 00:07:00 Watching Your Mother's Relationships Up Close 00:08:02 How Childhood Trauma Shapes Adults 00:10:33 How Addiction Tore The Family Apart 00:16:18 Why Empathy Is Missing In Politics 00:18:07 Why Politics Turns Opponents Into Villains 00:19:35 Trump's Immigration Rhetoric Explained 00:23:04 Can You Discuss Immigration Without Division? 00:25:15 Moving Into An All-White Neighborhood 00:28:36 How Political Messaging Creates Division 00:30:56 Would You Cross A Border For Your Family? 00:34:07 Why You Joined The Marine Corps 00:37:06 Why George W.

THE BIG CREATINE LIE...

Most of us have been taught that creatine is strictly for sports performance. The clinical data tells a completely different story. It's the most researched supplement on earth. Studied for nearly 200 years, but are we still missing the point? This is why I sat down with Dr Darren Candow. He is one of the world’s most published researchers on creatine and ageing. He’s published more than 175 scientific papers, over 115 of them focused specifically on creatine and longevity. I was shown me the data on why muscle loss starts happening decades earlier than we think, the exact mistake millions of us make with protein as we get older and what the clinical evidence actually says about creatine for women, children, and brain health. We discussed things like: - 5 biggest myths about creatine. - Why creatine is no longer just for athletes. - What women need to know about creatine. - Is creatine is safe for children? - How muscle loss begins much earlier than most people realise. - The protein mistake many people make as they age. What blew my mind during this chat is how far the science goes beyond sport and that creatine might be one of the most misunderstood supplements in the world. But Darren’s research points to something much bigger… If you care about staying strong and independent as you get older, I think this conversation is worth your time.

THEY'RE LYING ABOUT THE PYRAMIDS

Humans have been on this earth for at least 310,000 years. Yet mainstream history INSISTS our civilisation only started 6,000 years ago? That’s the exact timeline contradiction Graham Hancock has spent more than 30 years trying to unpick. Graham has sold millions of books and has a Netflix series. All built around one idea... That we are missing a huge chapter of our own history. When we sat down, Graham told me that he is about to undergo serious heart surgery. And, there is a 15% chance he may not survive the operation. With his future feeling uncertain, he wanted to come on the show for the opportunity to put his life's work, his philosophy and the biggest unanswered questions of human history on the record. Graham has been very vocal about how he thinks that mainstream science is dismissing and ignoring evidence rather than actively hiding it. We discussed things like: - A 12,800-year-old comet that forced humanity to restart. - Satellite imagery revealing a lost civilisation beneath the Amazon! - Ancient maps of the world that shouldn't exist… - The psychedelics that may have unlocked human consciousness. - Why everything we know about our origins could be wrong…? What was clear from our conversation, was that Graham isn’t afraid to go against the grain and challenge the official narrative. Whether you agree with his conclusions or not, I think there's something valuable about opening your mind in a way that’s just driven curiosity. As he told me, the most important lesson from his life's work is simple: Question everything. So, what if the story of who we are is much older, stranger and more fragile than we think?

WILL THE MIDDLE-CLASS BE WIPED OUT?

Why does working harder no longer feel like enough? That was the question I kept coming back to in this debate between Daniel Priestley and Nick Hanauer. Because everywhere you look, people are angry. They’re doing the work and following the rules, but still feeling like security and opportunity are moving further away. Nick’s view is that capitalism only works when the people doing the work are properly included in it. Better wages, better standards and companies being forced to treat people with dignity. Daniel agrees that people are being left behind, but he thinks the deeper problem is ownership. His point is that if people don’t own a home, a business, shares or any part of the system, then they don’t really feel like they’re part of capitalism at all. We discussed things like: - Better wages and protections and whether they can solve a deeper ownership gap. - If taxing the rich a real solution or political slogan? - AI changing the value of human labour. - Small businesses caught between government pressure and corporate scale. - People losing faith in an economy that no longer gives them a stake. What I kept trying to understand was where the middle ground is. One version of capitalism creates growth but leaves too many people behind. Another version protects people but can make it harder for businesses to grow, hire and take risks. That’s why this conversation felt so important. I was genuinely trying to understand where the middle ground is, because if people don’t feel protected by the system or included in the upside of it, it’s easy to understand why so many are losing faith in it.

EMERGENCY DEBATE: The Death Of The Middle Class! Only The Top 1% Will Survive!

DOES THIS PROVE THAT GOD IS REAL?

“We now find ourselves in a world where we understand how almost everything works, but we know the meaning of nothing.” That's not a religious argument. That's a scientific one. And this isn’t coming from someone who abandoned logic to find faith… Today’s guest is John Lennox, a mathematician who has spent 70 years interrogating faith with logic, science, philosophy, and evidence and somehow came out the other side more convinced., I sat down with John as I wanted a conversation not only around religion, but how AI is making every one of us ask religious-sized questions. We discussed things like: - Why artificial intelligence is still artificial - The difference between simulating intelligence and possessing consciousness - Human dignity in the age of AI and why it matters more, not less - Loneliness and why it makes us vulnerable to fake connection - The peace that most of us are actually searching for I didn’t feel like I was being pushed towards an answer. Instead I was being invited to think more honestly about the questions. You do not have to share his faith to learn from the way he thinks. For anyone asking what makes us human in a world of machines, this is a conversation I would really recommend.

No.1 Christianity Expert: If You DON'T Believe In a God You NEED to Hear This!

Bible sales are soaring, and the world's leading thinkers are quietly returning to faith. Oxford mathematician and Christian apologist John Lennox explains why the race to "solve death" is 2,000 years too late, why no machine can ever replicate human consciousness, what AI reveals about God, and what it truly means to be human in a world where artificial intelligence can do almost everything we can. Professor John Lennox is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University and President of The OCCA Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics. He is also the author of books such as ‘God, AI and the End of History’ and 'My Story: A Spiritual and Intellectual Autobiography'. He explains: ◼ Why scientists predict humans will merge with machines and where that leads ◼ The eerie list of AI promises that sound exactly like the promises of God ◼ Why AI will wipe out your job and what it can never take from you ◼ What makes you irreplaceable when AI can do your job better than you ◼ Could John be wrong after 70 years of believing?
