The Valley Current®: Who wants to be a Trillionaire?
Traditional companies (such as oil, telecom, and automotive) are being disrupted by companies like Amazon, Nvidia, and Tesla, positioning individuals like Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, and Jeff Bezos to become the world’s first trillionaires. This shift in wealth concentration poses significant challenges in society due to its magnitude and implications. The pace of technological advances in AI and computing is exponential compared to past industrial revolutions, and most cannot grasp the implications these advances will ultimately have. One insight rarely discussed due to regulatory constraints is the direct correlation between the rising U.S. federal deficit and the stock market's trajectory. Host Jack Russo and Pat Duke explore the backgrounds of today's billionaires, inherited wealth, and the “Overton window” spectrum of acceptability.

The Valley Current®: Do Prediction Markets Offer Less Uncertainty?
Can political prediction markets act as a better analyst than polls and pundits? In prediction markets where people bet real money on election outcomes, Donald Trump’s odds of winning another term spiked at 66% following his assassination attempt while Joe Biden’s sunk to 25%. In fact, the markets suggest it is increasingly probable that Biden will not even secure the Democratic nomination! Similar to polls, it is possible that prediction markets can be manipulated and not capture the full picture of what the entire public truly feels, but is one significantly more accurate than the other? Host Jack Russo asks Professor Sam Savage if prediction markets are our most reliable analysis of the future. Jack Russo Managing Partner "Every Entrepreneur Imagines a Better World"®️

Does Biden still have a viable shot at winning another term in the White House? As the race for the presidency gets heated so are the prediction markets, and gamblers at currently have their monies on Trump. Although prediction markets cannot be guaranteed to be completely random, they do reveal instant reactions to debates, speeches, and any economic factor that people would consider before going to the polls.

The Valley Current®: How safe tax-wise are SAFE Agreements?
Are SAFE (Simple Agreements for Future Equity) as safe tax-wise as convertible debt? SAFEs were created by Y Combinator to simplify fundraising by avoiding lengthy negotiations associated with convertible notes, and unlike traditional loans, a SAFE agreement is a promise for future equity. Tax treatment varies depending on whether a SAFE is considered debt or equity. This means investors can deduct total losses from their taxes, which is beneficial if the startup fails, and losses are classified as capital losses (with a $3,000 annual deduction limit) when treated as equity. So, what should investors know before going all-in on a SAFE agreement? Today host Jack Russo asks CPA, Steve Rabin to discuss the tax implications of using SAFE agreements versus convertible notes for startup funding.

The Valley Current®: What is AI's likely impact on IP law?
What a fine line between protectible invention and expression (as opposed to public domain idea and unprotected material) in AI-generated content? This, in turn, leads us to question just how “involved” AI can be in an invention and writing with a human still claiming ownership of the results. AI is quickly reshaping industries, but as AI capabilities grow, the issues of ownership and IP become more complicated. The USPTO’s guidelines now allow patents for human-instigated AI inventions, but not AI as the sole inventor. The use of AI is also creating new ethical boundaries with bots like ChatGPT potentially generating content that inadvertently exposes company trade secrets. Is this plagiarism or are we heading into a future where nearly everything belongs to the public as public domain? Professor Michael Risch and host Jack Russo scrutinize the contentious question of software patents, debating the degree of human involvement in AI inventions and the implications on IP rights generally. Is human intention and direction enough to generate IP rights if most of the “work” is produced automatically through AI? Jack Russo Managing Partner "Every Entrepreneur Imagines a Better World"®️

The Valley Current®: How Does A Simple Message Work?
What really happens in a successful Presidential debate? Do we even know anymore? Between Joe Biden’s word salads and Donald Trump lacking substantive content, it’s hard to determine who is the least appealing candidate. Both candidates failed to connect with undecided voters as the debate started with national and global conflicts and quickly derailed into heated, personal attacks and name calling. Biden’s flustered and forgetful tone, which greatly highlighted Trump’s energy and confidence, had the Democrats re-evaluating their candidate, but Biden also failed a few counter-narratives that could have made him more attractive to voters. Host Jack Russo invites David Mann (A Simple Message) back to The Valley Current® to break down how message discipline projects a unifying, presidential vision that appeals to a broad coalition which is essential for success.

Is there anything more challenging than starting an independent (in franchised) travel business in the midst of Covid-19 and in a foreign county that is difficult to get to and rains heavily half the year? One entrepreneur delights us in showing how he did this in a very different corner of our world. Travelling not only pushes us outside our comfort zone, but it also encourages us to learn about different people and cultures that expands our perspective on life. Tours, while informative, can be a rowdy and impersonal way to quickly explore new countries. After 20 years of working for tour companies, Chao Khanchan felt he had to offer his own tour company which privately guides small groups of tourists through Laos’s rich history and natural beauty.

The Valley Current®: Is Citizen Trump Also Changing Federal Tax Law Enforcement?
Donald Trump’s taxes (and the tax code in general) have been a major source of controversy for years. Until now, inflating the value of your property to secure better loan agreements then later devaluing the same property has lurked in a gray area where this magnitude of asset manipulation has explicitly been labeled as illegal. By closing this loophole, the IRS expects to gain at least $5 billion per year in revenue through the next 10 years.

More than likely the future will be fueled by augmented intelligence – meaning it needs human involvement supported by AI. Increased levels of intelligent automation will result in big shakeups for knowledge workers as new features roll out that will boost productivity and remove factors such as human error, biases, and emotional reactions.

Whether these people were parents who created a chaotic childhood, medical personnel who provided you with support in times of crisis, or someone who was simply kind to you when they didn’t have to be, these people shaped the way we think and learn.

The Valley Current®: How is AI Accelerating Change Management?
The biggest barrier to change has always been culture. When personal computers were new to the workplace, many employees stuffed their computer into a corner and treated it as furniture or viewed it as something for just the secretary to work with. Now it’s difficult to think of a job that doesn’t require any use of a computer. We’ve come a long way since then, but that just goes to show you that transformation rarely goes well in the workplace. In fact, most businesses are probably 50-75 years behind the times due to resisting change! The addition of AI is currently the biggest disruptor of company culture due to the massive number of layoffs affecting mostly white-collar jobs. Managers now need a little guidance on how to handle changing attitudes in the workplace. Today host Jack Russo and David White discuss the broader view of the workplace changing under AI.

The Valley Current®: Death and Taxes: Why Both Require Reporting
Taxes may be the price we pay to live in a civilized society, but no one, no matter how wealthy they are, likes paying taxes. Many of us are guilty of procrastinating until the last possible moment to file taxes, possibly to the point where we completely forget and then pay a penalty on top of our taxes when we do remember. Even if we do remember, some of us simply refuse to pay and attempt to cover it up, hoping we don’t get caught. One of these happened to John Groggins, the former general counsel for Moody’s, who just admitted to failing to file taxes on $54M over the past 4 years. Today host Jack Russo and CPA, Steve Rabin debate the likelihood of the IRS’s complex tax code led to a major screw up, or if Groggins’ case is just a new case of tax evasion.

For a brief moment in time, astronomers were able to safely study the sun’s corona simply because it was in the perfect spot at the perfect time. As awesome as it was for us to watch, no major news organization mentioned how unbelievable it was that this happened in an ever-expanding universe. There are many things reported to us that we tend to take at face value. For instance, the media will report how many Palestinians died in Gaza, but not question the accuracy of those numbers which were provided to us from a terrorist organization. Many fundamentalistic religions promote blind faith and eschew outside thoughts as sacrilege. Critical thinking seems to be on the decline and taking offense has replaced acknowledging mistakes.

Is there any factor more important to evolution than forward-looking collaboration? Whether it’s family, society, business, or politics, leaders are needed to bring people together and inspire them to work towards a single goal. However, there is one major drawback to mass collaboration – and it hurts those with the most power. The more information and resources a CEO shares (especially in a knowledge worker environment), the more his or her power is diminished. On the other hand, keeping information secret among a small group of officials prevents the company from co-creating and being competitive. Is there any way for leaders to win?
