This month, we talk with the fascinating Michelle Atlas, a coach who works with female entrepreneurs. She helps them take that leap of faith, whether it's starting a new business or up-shifting their business to the next level.

We start off by discussing Palantir CEO Alex Karp's scathing comments about Silicon Valley. He explains how this arrogant, condescending group of engineers huddled in an isolated corner of the world might be good at software, but that doesn't give them the right to: Reorganize society, decide what is moral and just, deem who can and cannot use certain technologies, surveil us, or govern us. He says it so perfectly when he says "the bargain between the public and the technology sector has for the most part been consensual"... but people will hopefully stop tolerating it once they realize what's going on.

We then discuss Google's latest drunken idea called Duplex, an AI technology that further anti-improves society. If you don't feel like calling a local business to order food or make an appointment, you just tell a Google website to do it, and then their AI auto-bot calls the business for you and (after scaring them) makes the request on your behalf. This further disconnects the already-disconnected Millennial from reality, completely removing the human factor and the empathy for those few people out there who are still working hard.

We talk about what makes a good coach/counselor (intuition and experience) versus a bad one (cookie-cutter advice and templates). We also discuss a bit about how you can still shift yourself into where you want to be, no matter how old you are. Remember, Colonel Sanders and many other people didn't succeed until their 50s or 60s!

We remind people about the new scandal of cloud-controlled devices - these are devices that will actually be disabled by their creators when they hit a certain age. We mention how Facebook welcomes further regulation (ironically they know that it'll just make it harder for new competitors to enter the market) and how awareness, then, is the only key to stopping the insanity. Finally, we brainstorm ways Marc can bring this under-reported information to a larger audience, and we come up with an idea for an exposé video series... who knows... might be coming down the pipeline!

Thanks to lofi geek for the music, and thanks as always for telling your friends about the show!
