Capital Record National Review

David is joined once again by macro-intelligence icon Rene Aninao. They wax and wane about the 2024 presidential election, but then spend a lot of time on China, Russia, and other hot spots of the world, where the new weapons are . . . economic.

David embarks upon a larger discussion regarding artificial intelligence this week, and to do so is joined by Jennifer Kaehms. Kaehms is a former Forbes 30 under 30 venture-capital visionary and leader, and a prolific expert in the subject of AI, venture investing, and bio-engineering. Is AI the end of the humanity? Is it the biggest over-hyped nothing since the blockchain? Or is it, maybe, just maybe, somewhere in between?

David is joined this week by Dr. Greg Forster, a professor at Trinity International University and the author of numerous fine works in the domain of faith and culture (one such link below). If avoiding the two reductionist extremes of the moment leaves one homeless in the current moment, David and Greg are roommates on the street. But as you will see, the work fusionism still has to do is an important topic, as is wrestling through the role of the state in modern society, truth claims and religious neutrality, and a few other light matters that might not get unpacked in 45 minutes. From Whitaker Chambers to Bill Buckley to Abraham Kuyper, our conversation covers the greats and will leave you coming back for more.

David is joined this week by Andrew Crapuchettes, CEO and founder of RedBalloon.work, the leading job search and recruitment platform in the country for employers and employees who believe that -- wait for it -- an employee’s merit and ability are primary. They talk about the role DEI, ESG, and the worst of them all, HR, is having in today’s job market. In fact, they even talk a little about today’s job market. This is an episode for all who believe work is the verb of economics!

David is joined this week by Andrew Beck of brand consultancy firm Beck & Stone for a discussion of business and ideological distinctions, the debates amongst the right about trade and markets, and so much more. This is a worthwhile discussion covering a wide gamut of important issues.

David is joined this week by Darren Doane and David Shannon of the Doane Creative Agency for a lengthy, thorough, and challenging talk. They discuss business, technology, social media, and the tension between conserving the lessons of the past and moving into the opportunities of the future. It is perhaps the most provocative episode of Capital Record ever.
