The Vance Crowe Podcast

Vance Crowe

What do people actually want when they argue about money, technology, or the future? Vance Crowe interviews economists, CEOs, scientists, farmers, authors, and contrarians of every stripe to find out what's really driving the disagreements reshaping our world, long conversations where the goal isn't to win, it's to understand what the argument is actually about. Vance spent years as the public face of Monsanto during the GMO controversies, learning to talk with people who had every reason to distrust him. That's the skill he brings to every interview, and it's why guests tell him things they don't say anywhere else. Vance is also a keynote speaker (300,000+ people) and founder of Legacy Interviews.

Rather than focusing on hype, Vance explains the prompting techniques, AI workflows, custom instructions, agents, GitHub repositories, podcast analysis, bookkeeping, website development, and thinking strategies that have transformed the way he works.    Whether you're just getting started with AI or already experimenting with tools like Claude and ChatGPT, this episode will help you get more value from them.    When not podcasting, Vance is invited to give talks on tangible communication skills.

    Benjamin Anderson | Building The Future

    This week, Benjamin Anderson returns to the podcast for a fascinating conversation with Vance about urban development, technology and the future of medicine. The two discuss revitalizing neglected neighborhoods, balancing privacy with public safety, and why long-term thinking is essential when building communities.

    Dan Kloeckener: A Life on the Cutting Edge

    This week Vance sat down with Dan Kloeckener who has spent more than four decades styling hair in St. Louis - but behind the chair is a remarkable life story…   Dan reflects on his early years working in restaurants, the lure of easy money, his struggles with drugs and alcohol, and the unlikely path that led him into cosmetology. Along the way he shares lessons learned from thousands of conversations with clients, why gratitude became central to his life, and how faith helped him overcome decades of addiction.   The discussion also ventures into unexpected territory—from surviving a gunshot wound that revealed a hidden kidney tumor, to Dan's fascination with shark attacks and his mission to educate beachgoers through his book "The Jaws of Life: How to Avoid Shark Attacks"   This episode is a reminder that extraordinary stories often belong to ordinary people, if we're willing to slow down and ask the right questions.   When not styling hair, Dan has written a fascinating book that is definitely worth checking out: “The Jaws of Life: How To Avoid Shark Attacks”. Audible version now available on Amazon.   When not podcasting, Vance is invited to give talks on tangible communication skills. He teaches how to connect with employees, colleagues and family so that you can negotiate, have better relationships and achieve your higher goals.   https://articulate.ventures/lbc https://www.legacyinterviews.com/    #vancecrowe #dankloeckener #personalgrowth #gratitude #addictionrecovery
