Want to come on the show? Here's the pitch. Each episode reaches 135,000 subscribers on YouTube and 250,000+ curious people across every platform — founders, early AI adopters, lifelong learners, the kind of audience that actually leans in, takes notes, and shows up in your replies afterward. This isn't a 12-minute hit-and-run — it's a long-form conversation that goes deep, gets shared, and keeps getting found long after we hit publish. If you've got a real idea worth an hour, tell us about it below. We read every single one.
Vetting the show first? The press coverage — the New York Post, Inside Higher Ed, Techopedia and OK! Magazine — is listed with dates and links on the press page.
Books, TV and podcasts aren't three audiences. They're one.
