Think AI is just about adding chatbots to your business? Think again.

Some founders are building million-dollar businesses with lean teams, while others are getting fined by the SEC for false AI claims. Listen to this episode to learn: Why prototypes that once cost $32,000 can now be built for free How the SEC is cracking down on fake AI companies Why technical co-founders are no longer essential for tech startups How to spot real AI opportunities in the middle of the hype Why new tech hubs are emerging far from Silicon Valley Whether you're a founder saving thousands on development, a corporate innovator testing ideas without permission, or an investor avoiding AI washing, this episode will help you navigate the reality of AI in 2024.

Think Silicon Valley was built by brilliant founders and venture capital? Think again. Governments have been the secret force behind every major tech breakthrough - and understanding this could be crucial for your success, whether you are an innovator or an investor. Economist Mariana Mazzucato 's groundbreaking book " The Entrepreneurial State " shows an often ignored truth: from the iPhone to GPS, the biggest innovations in tech came from government funding, because early stage innovation is too risky for venture capital. Listen to this episode to learn: Why every technology in your iPhone started with government funding What a "regulatory sandbox" is and why it matters for innovation Why the "lone genius founder" myth is dangerous for investors How to spot government support that could give your company an edge Case studies from Silicon Valley, Singapore and Bahrain Whether you're a policymaker, founder, or investor, this episode will change how you think about innovation - and might just change where you choose to build your next venture.

Every time a founder with a hardware idea comes to me for advice, I tell them they're choosing one of the toughest paths in tech. But sometimes, that path leads to trillion-dollar success stories. In this episode you'll learn from three stories of hardware innovation: Apple, Tesla and Nvidia. Apple had to spend $175 million to fix an iPhone problem that couldn't be solved with a software update. Tesla had to rip robots out of its automated factory. Meanwhile, Nvidia turned from a gaming company into a $3.3 trillion AI powerhouse. Why do some hardware companies become global giants while others crash and burn? Listen to this episode to find out. You will learn: Why physical problems need physical solutions (and why that's so expensive) How Tesla's 'production hell' reveals the true cost of hardware innovation The real reason VCs are scared of hardware startups (and when they're wrong) Why combining hardware with AI might be worth the risk This episode is essential for anyone building, investing in, or curious about hardware innovation.
