    Howard Stern Got Disrupted – And Why It Could Happen to You

    In this episode of Dangerous Ideas, Shawn Kanungo dives into the fascinating—and ironic—story of Howard Stern, the king of disruption who got disrupted himself. From revolutionizing radio in the 2000s to becoming irrelevant in the era of YouTube and TikTok, Stern’s downfall offers a masterclass in what happens when you stop innovating. Shawn draws parallels between Stern’s career and comedian Josh Johnson’s game-changing approach to stand-up—dropping weekly, YouTube-native comedy sets that fuse current events with timeless themes. It’s disruption in real time, and a blueprint for staying relevant in a world that moves at lightning speed. From there, Shawn tackles the future of work in the age of AI, debating Mo Gawdat’s skepticism with Sam Altman’s optimism. Are we headed for mass job loss, or a golden age of new industries and billion-dollar one-person companies? Shawn shares why he believes disruption doesn’t just kill jobs—it creates even more opportunities for those willing to adapt. The episode wraps with a surprising scientific insight into luck: why believing you are personally lucky might just be the ultimate life hack for happiness, success, and innovation.
