The fast-moving up-and-down economy we live in makes keeping our companies afloat increasingly difficult. Just as we handle one crisis, another appears.

Digital, millennials, new regulations, new competition, political turmoil, Artificial Intelligence, Industry 4.0, Blockchain, sharing economy, circular economy, substitute products, you name it – the waves of disruption come crashing faster and faster, fundamentally changing the way we work, profit, and compete.

For nearly 20 years, our guest has worked in the field of survival and sustainability – researching and developing ways for businesses to stay afloat, no matter what the disruption. To understand the mechanics of survival, it helps to look at the successes and failures of the past.

We talk:

• Embracing Change and Transformation
• Personal Transformation
• A definition of Titanic Syndrome
• The 3 markers of Titanic Syndrome:
• Arrogance
• Excessive Attachment to Past Successes
• An Inability to Recognise the new and Emerging Reality
• The reasons the Titanic Sank
• The definition of Reinvention
• The ingredients of Reinvention
• Personal Reinvention
• Reinvention versus Innovation
• Solutions for Reinvention

America has gone from an open, competitive marketplace to an economy where a few very powerful companies dominate key industries that affect our daily lives. Digital monopolies like Google, Facebook and Amazon act as gatekeepers to the digital world. Amazon is capturing almost all online shopping dollars. We have the illusion of choice, but for most critical decisions, we have only one or two companies, when it comes to high-speed Internet, health insurance, medical care, mortgage title insurance, social networks, Internet searches, or even consumer goods like toothpaste. Every day, the average American transfers a little of their paycheck to monopolists and oligopolists. 

The solution is vigorous anti-trust enforcement to return America to a period where competition created higher economic growth, more jobs, higher wages and a level playing field for all. 

Today’s show is the story of industrial concentration, but it matters to everyone because the stakes could not be higher. It tackles the big questions of: why is the US becoming a more unequal society, why is economic growth anaemic despite trillions of dollars of federal debt and money printing, why the number of start-ups has declined, and why are workers losing out.

We welcome the author of “The Myth of Capitalism: Monopolies and the Death of Competition” Jonathan Tepper

We talk:

• Monopolies
• Duopolies
• Oligopolies
• Competition 
• Monopsonies
• Capitalism
• Antitrust
• Regulation
• The worker being squeezes
• The concentration of power
• The Rural v Urban Divide
• The Robber Barons
• The Origin of the Problem
• How concentration kills innovations
• IPOS
• Mergers and Acquisitions
• Some possible solutions

The questions we will grapple with in today’s show are not about transistors and neurons and algorithms and such. They are about the nature of reality, humanity, and mind. The confusion happens when we begin with “What jobs will robots take from humans?” instead of “What are humans?” Until we answer that second question, we can’t meaningfully address the first.

We welcome serial entrepreneur, founder and CEO, of GigaOM and author of “The Fourth Age: Smart Robots, Conscious Computers, and the Future of Humanity” Byron Reese.

We talk:

• The evolution of our brains
• Fire as the first technology
• Language development
• Storytelling
• Digital Dementia
• Distribution of Labour
• The Beginning of Wealth
• The Beginning of ownership
• The shift to agriculture
• The age of computation
• Moore’s law
• Exponential change
• Artificial Intelligence
• Artificial General Intelligence
• Robotics
• The limitation of Robotics
• Computer Consciousness
• Our human potential

We mention digital dementia during the show, here is a piece I wrote on it: https://medium.com/thethursdaythought/planet-of-the-ai-pes-digital-dementia-and-digital-zombies-f4f3454ca664
