The race is on! We explore how industries are adapting to AI, EVs, and new consumer behaviors in 2024.
In this episode, we’re diving into everything from Tesla’s latest robo van to Tom Brady buying a stake in the Raiders. We talk AI taste tests (yes, robots know the difference between Pepsi and Coke now), Bitcoin’s comeback, and TikTok laying off 500 workers as AI takes over. Plus, I share my thoughts on cold plunges, electric scooters, and why GM’s investing big in EV batteries. We also break down what’s really going on with Miami’s business scene post-hurricane. It’s a little bit of business, a little bit of tech, and a whole lot of random fun – you never know where the conversation will go!
