    AI Capital, Small Business, and Quantum Risk

    Most of the capital chasing AI is flowing to the same places: large enterprises, well-funded infrastructure plays, and recognizable names.Meanwhile, the businesses actually deploying AI on the ground—small and mid-sized operators quietly creating real efficiencies and measurable outcomes—are often overlooked by institutional investors. That gap continues to widen.At the same time, tariffs are reshaping the economics of AI infrastructure in ways many investors have not fully priced in. The divergence between what large enterprises can absorb and what smaller businesses can afford is growing. How capital is allocated in this environment reveals a great deal about conviction, risk tolerance, and where investors believe durable value will ultimately be created.Joining us is Afsheen Afshar, institutional investor and Founder of Pilot Wave Holdings, a firm focused on quantum computing and frontier technologies. Afsheen brings a unique perspective at the intersection of early-stage investing, AI deployment, and the emerging quantum security risks facing the data infrastructure that many AI companies depend on today.In This Episode David J. Goecke and Afsheen Afshar will explore:Funding — Why institutional capital continues to overlook small-business AI opportunitiesFaith — Tariffs, rising AI infrastructure costs, and the conviction required to deploy capital during uncertaintyFuture — Quantum security, AI infrastructure exposure, and the next wave of technological disruptionTogether, they'll examine where the most compelling AI deployment opportunities exist today, how investors should think about capital allocation as infrastructure costs shift, and what quantum computing means for organizations building on potentially vulnerable data systems.These are not theoretical discussions. They are real-world decisions founders, operators, and investors are making right now.

    Quantum Security and the Future of Blockchain

    Most people assume blockchain security is a long-term problem.The reality is that quantum computing is already changing how serious technologists think about encryption, infrastructure, and digital trust.The challenge is not simply preparing for future attacks. It is deciding whether current systems are being built with enough foresight to survive the next generation of computing power.On this episode of The David Daily Show, David J. Goecke is joined by Yoon Auh, CEO and Founder of BOLTS Technologies and Founder of NUTS Technologies. Yoon has spent decades working across global trading, capital markets, cybersecurity, and frontier technology, including leadership roles at Magnetar Capital, Geode Capital Management, and Credit Suisse First Boston.At BOLTS Technologies, Yoon is focused on securing blockchain ecosystems against future quantum threats through quantum-resistant infrastructure and security systems designed for long-term resilience.On this live stream podcast episode we will discuss thought leadership with David J. Goecke onFunding - Raising Capital for Quantum Security InfrastructureFaith - Protecting Privacy and Trust Through TechnologyFuture - Quantum Threats and Blockchain SecurityThis conversation explores how founders and investors should think about emerging technology risk, why quantum security matters far earlier than most people realize, and how trust becomes increasingly valuable as infrastructure complexity grows.We will also discuss blockchain security, frontier technology, capital formation, and the responsibility technologists carry while building systems designed to protect users at scale.The episode focuses on practical technology adoption, long-term infrastructure thinking, and the future implications of quantum computing across financial systems and digital privacy.Register to watch the full episode and join us live for the conversation.Funding.

    Faith-Centered Capital and AI Advisory

    Most founders know how to chase growth. Far fewer know how to build long-term value without losing conviction in the process.The pressure to raise capital, scale quickly, and satisfy market expectations can slowly pull founders away from the original reason they started building in the first place.That tension between growth and alignment is where many important decisions get made.On this episode of The David Daily Show, David J. Goecke is joined by Vince Vavrunek, Founder of Rising Branch, accredited investor, and advisor to early-stage founders navigating value growth, strategic direction, and exit planning. Vince has personally deployed more than $500,000 into pre-seed and seed-stage companies while helping founders think more clearly about long-term value creation and leadership.On this live stream podcast episode we will discuss thought leadership with David J. Goecke onFunding - Founder Value Growth and Exit PlanningFaith - Kingdom Focus in Founder AdvisoryFuture - AI and the Future of InvestingThis conversation explores how founders evaluate capital decisions, where advisory relationships create real leverage, and why long-term conviction matters more than short-term momentum.We will also discuss the growing role AI plays inside investing, strategic advisory work, and founder decision making as markets continue shifting around technology and automation.The episode focuses on practical leadership, long-term thinking, and the tension founders face while trying to build companies designed to last.Register to watch the full episode and join us live for the conversation.Funding.

    AI Literacy Before The Market Moves

    Most companies know they need to understand AI.Far fewer know what that actually means inside the business.The risk is not just falling behind on tools. It is making decisions without enough literacy to understand what is useful, what is noise, and where real value is being created.On this episode of The David Daily Show, I am joined by Jason Alexander, Founder of Chief AI. Jason brings a perspective shaped by AI enablement, early-stage investing, and strategic advising for founders and leaders navigating fast-moving technology.On this live stream podcast episode we will discuss thought leadership onFunding - AI Literacy Before Capital DeploymentFaith - Leadership Conviction During Technological ChangeFuture - Career Relevance In An AI EconomyThis conversation looks at AI through the lens of judgment, not hype.We will explore how leaders evaluate AI opportunities, how belief systems shape technology adoption, and why career resilience may depend on learning how to think with new tools instead of simply reacting to them.We will also discuss where capital, execution, and human discernment meet as AI becomes a core part of business strategy.Register to watch the full episode and join us live for the conversation.

    AI, Neuroscience, and the Future of Human Behavior

    AI is no longer just a tool we use. It is starting to shape how we think, how we make decisions, and how we understand ourselves.That shift raises a different set of questions, not just about technology, but about human behavior, consciousness, and meaning.I have Greg Cootsona joining me for this episode. His work sits at the intersection of emerging technology, spirituality, and human development, bringing a perspective that looks beyond systems and into how people process and adapt to change.We will be going into:Funding - AI, Culture, and Value Creation in Emerging MarketsFaith - AI, Spirituality, and Human ConsciousnessFuture Tech - AI, Neuroscience, and Human Psychology TrendsThis conversation looks at how AI is influencing culture, how it connects to deeper questions around spirituality and identity, and what we are starting to learn from neuroscience and psychology as these systems become more integrated into daily life.If you have been thinking about AI beyond productivity and into its broader impact on people and society, this will be a valuable discussion to listen to.If you are around, join us live.

    Evaluating and Investing in Frontier Technologies

    New technologies appear every year. Some reshape entire industries. Others disappear quietly. Knowing the difference is one of the hardest parts of investing. On this episode Igor Pejic to explore how investors and operators evaluate emerging technologies and decide where to place their bets. Igor is an author, banker, and global keynote speaker who studies the impact of technology on finance and markets. His books Blockchain Babel and Big Tech in Finance have received recognition from the Financial Times, the Independent Press Awards, and the McKinsey-Financial Times Bracken Bower Prize. His work regularly appears in outlets like The New York Times, American Banker, Forbes, and Bloomberg, where he analyzes the forces shaping the next generation of financial and technological systems. In this episode, we’ll focus on three core ideas: 1. Separating Successful and Unsuccessful Emerging Technologies 2. Timing Investments in Emerging Frontier Technologies 3. Increasing Odds of Successful Emerging Tech Investments Frontier innovation creates enormous opportunity, but it also creates noise. Understanding market timing, recognizing real signals, and identifying the companies that can actually execute often determines who benefits from these technological waves. This discussion will look at how investors think about those decisions and how emerging technologies move from early experimentation to real-world adoption. Funding. Faith. Future. Tune in.

    Bridging Deep Tech, Conscious Capitalism, and Frontier Innovation

    A lot of ideas sound promising in the early stages, but very few make it far enough to have real impact. That space in between, where companies are trying to move from concept to reality, is where most deep tech businesses struggle to survive. I’ve got Michelle Urben joining me for this episode. She’s working at the intersection of capital, innovation, and long-term impact, investing in sectors like energy, manufacturing, food, and health. We’ll be getting into what it actually takes to support companies building complex technologies, and why capital alone is rarely enough to carry them through that middle phase. We’re going into: 1. Funding: Bridging the Valley of Death in Deep Tech 2. Faith: Conscious Capitalism in Investment Decisions 3. Future Tech: Deep Tech and Frontier Technology Innovation This is a space that requires a different kind of thinking, where timelines are longer, uncertainty is higher, and decisions carry real weight over time. I’m looking forward to hearing how Michelle approaches investing and decision-making in environments like this. If you’re around, jump in live.
