I made the greatest trade of my life with Jesse Beyroutey in 2019. We bought Nvidia shares when they were trading at $33. They’re worth nearly $800 today.
I sat down with Jesse to top that trade in 90 minutes using Gemini Pro 1.5’s incredible 1 million token context window—and make a $1,000 trade live on the show.
Jesse is a managing partner at IA Ventures, a $600 million venture fund with seed investments in companies like Wise and Digital Ocean. He’s also a very close friend and one of the smartest people I know.
We unpack our investment thesis for our Nvidia trade and leverage the power of Gemini Pro 1.5 and ChatGPT to orchestrate what we hope will be the best trade of our lives. We put our money where our mouth is and make a $1,000 trade while the cameras are still rolling.
There’s a plot twist at the end of this episode—so stick around to see the epilogue Jesse and I recorded just days after we made our investment.
We get into:
This is not investment advice, but it’s a must-watch for anyone who wants to leverage the power of AI to make smarter financial decisions.

You can break into Hollywood with a movie you made alone in your room without using a single camera. Dave Clark showed me how live on this show.
Dave Clark is a film director and commercial director with experience working with brands like HP and Intel who is now experimenting with cutting-edge AI technology. He recently produced a popular sci-fi short Borrowing Time, which has over 110,000 views on X and was mentioned in Forbes. Dave made this film only using AI tools like Midjourney, text-to-video model Runway, and generative voice AI platform ElevenLabs.
Dave told me that he couldn’t have made Borrowing Time without AI—it’s an expensive project that traditional Hollywood studios would never bankroll. But after Dave’s short went viral, major production houses approached him to make it a full-length movie. I think this is an excellent example of how AI is changing the art of filmmaking, and I came out of this interview convinced that we are on the brink of a new creative age.
We dive deep into the world of AI tools for image and video generation, discussing how aspiring filmmakers can use them to validate their ideas, and potentially even secure funding if they get traction. Dave walks me through how he has integrated AI into his movie-making process, and as we talk, we make a short film featuring Nicolas Cage using a haunted roulette ball to resurrect his dead movie career, live on the show.
This episode is a must-watch for creative people interested in bringing their stories to life, movie buffs, and anyone curious about the future of creativity.

Our video game, Allocator: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-oooxUbOkj-allocator
You can make a video game without writing a single line of code. Logan Kilpatrick uses ChatGPT to show me how.
Logan is OpenAI’s first developer relations and advocacy hire. A big part of Logan’s job is supporting the community of builders using ChatGPT, DALL-E, and the OpenAI API. He’s also deeply invested in growing this community, convinced that AI tools can enable more people to build.
To prove this point, Logan and I build a video game live on the show. We use GPT Builder and ChatGPT to create Allocator, a text-based strategy game where players step into the shoes of a historical U.S. president and are tasked with managing the government’s budget. We have an awesome time iterating it all the way from rough idea to functional video game in less than one hour—without any coding.

Dr. Gena Gorlin (https://twitter.com/Gena_I_Gorlin) is a clinical psychologist at UT Austin whose goal is to raise the ceiling on human potential.
I sat down with her to discuss how ChatGPT has become a key tool in her quest for radical self-betterment.
In this episode, she feeds ChatGPT a list of her old journal entries, and it conducts the most thorough and insightful annual review and goal-setting session you’ve ever seen. We watch as ChatGPT writes a year-by-year personal biography of her life, helps her set goals for 2024, and points out blindspots she might’ve missed.
It’s a mind-bending example of how ChatGPT can unlock your potential.
