Interview - BlackRock: What’s Real, What’s Rumor, and What It Means for You Oct 20, 2026

Show notes

What does BlackRock actually do? How much influence does it have? And how much of what you’ve heard about it is true?

Mosheh sits down with John Kelly, BlackRock’s global head of corporate affairs, to demystify the world’s largest asset manager, which oversees roughly $15 trillion on behalf of its clients. Many listeners may have money invested with the company through a 401(k), pension, or other investments without realizing it.

The conversation explores BlackRock’s power, questions about its role in housing, public distrust of Wall Street, and the growing backlash against AI data centers.

They also discuss BlackRock’s Future Builders initiative, which aims to help 50,000 Americans prepare for careers in the skilled trades. Why is this financial giant investing in electricians, plumbers, and other skilled workers—and could those careers offer more opportunity as AI reshapes the job market?

Kelly, who previously held senior roles at Microsoft, Starbucks, and Roku, shares the company’s perspective on what these changes could mean for your work, savings, and retirement.

Interview - Reid Hoffman On AI Panic, Democrats, and Money In Politics Oct 14, 2026

Show notes

As warnings mount that artificial intelligence could take millions of jobs, and even threaten humanity itself, Reid Hoffman argues we need a middle path: keep developing the technology while putting safeguards in place.

The billionaire LinkedIn co-founder, early OpenAI backer and former board member, and major Democratic donor joins Mosheh for a conversation about technology, money, and political power—and the future he’s helping finance.

Hoffman explains why he thinks extinction fears are overblown, how America should compete with China, and what lawmakers should require companies to do -- including kill switches and independent safety audits. They also discuss where AI leaders have failed the public, how workers can prepare, and his company Manas AI’s efforts to develop new medicines, including cancer treatments.

On politics, Hoffman weighs in on the midterms, why Democrats lost support in Silicon Valley, and his disagreements with democratic socialists. Mosheh challenges him on billionaires’ influence over elections, and asks what a 2028 presidential candidate would need to earn his support.
