🧠 Wealth and Means — Advice Dressed Up Like Hard Work
There’s a difference between knowing the news and understanding it.
Between watching markets move and recognizing the pattern before everyone else.
Between laughing at the week’s absurdities and actually learning from them.
That’s where Wealth and Means comes in — a new weekly podcast that blends macro trends, molecular breakthroughs, and a healthy dose of caffeine-fueled wit.
Hosted by Wealth (the sharp, quick-thinking optimist) and Means (the seasoned professor with the velvet-hammer delivery), each episode feels like an espresso shot for your curiosity.
🎧 Episode 1: From Ozempic to Optics — What You Didn’t See in the News
Forget the screaming headlines.
This week’s debut pulls the camera back on the stories quietly shaping the markets, culture, and innovation cycle:
Wellness 2.0 – Supplements go molecular. Forget “take your vitamins” — it’s now “optimize your biochemistry.”
AI Therapists – We’ve started confiding in algorithms that never sleep. What happens when empathy scales faster than ethics?
The China Gray Hair Economy – The world’s factory is aging. What happens when cheap labor gets expensive?
Apple’s Trojan Button – The “Capture Button” is more than a hardware tweak — it’s Apple’s quiet play to make the phone your personal intelligence device.
The Cultural Rorschach – Inside Out 2 vs Quiet on Set: what our streaming habits say about a nation toggling between therapy and outrage.
And because no week is complete without some financial self-care, Wealth drops a Knowledge Bomb on how to open — and actually use — a Roth IRA, while Means delivers a story so absurd it borders on AI-era Greek tragedy (yes, divorce by chatbot-coffee reading is now real).
🧩 The Great(er) Debate
Then we stage the debate we wish existed:
Mira Murati vs Jason Calacanis — Who Owns the Future of Intelligence?
Closed AI for safety or open AI for democracy?
It’s part philosophy, part theater, and entirely relevant to anyone building, funding, or just trying to survive in the next wave of AI.
🔬 Invent Again: Xiaowei Zhuang
Every episode ends with a spotlight on an inventor who redefined the possible.
This week: Xiaowei Zhuang, the Harvard physicist who broke the diffraction limit of light with STORM microscopy — and in doing so, changed how we literally see life.
☕ The Vibe
Think Morning Brew’s snappy wit meets The Information’s depth, narrated with the dynamic energy of an All-In round-table.
It’s where macro meets micro, humor meets rigor, and “advice” finally sounds like something you actually want to hear.
