    Ethan Monkhouse | Inside AI that Can Read Minds: When Technology Sees What You Hide

    Ethan Monkhouse built AI technology so advanced at psychological profiling that he deemed it "too intense" for public release. As co-founder of Naviro AI, Ethan has created systems that can identify personality traits, psychological patterns, and even childhood trauma from social media behavior alone. Ethan discovered his technology was becoming immensely powerful. In this fascinating conversation, we explore the cutting edge of AI psychological profiling - technology that can read between the lines of your digital presence to understand who you really are beneath your public persona. From analyzing posture, object placement, speech patterns to other subtle hints, Ethan’s AI was able to detect his mild OCD, for example. It was something he’d never revealed publicly.  We dive deep into how this technology works, its applications in marketing and fan identification, and the ethical considerations of building AI that can see through our carefully-crafted online personas. For Leaders, Strategists and Decision-Makers: Discover how Naviro AI replicated months of marketing strategy work in one hour, identified superfans with 99% accuracy, and helped music labels understand the psychological drivers behind fan behavior. But more importantly, understand what this means for the future of work and human privacy. This conversation sits at the intersection of technological possibility and human psychology - essential listening for anyone trying to understand where AI is headed and how to navigate its implications responsibly.

    Eli Portnoy | Exit Playbook: Founder Reveals His Recipe for Selling Tech Companies

    Meet Eli Portnoy, a serial entrepreneur who has done what few have: Founded and led two separate tech companies to successful eight-figure exits. He sold his first company, ThinkNear, for $22.5 million and his second, Sense360, for $44 million. This conversation is an insider’s look into his playbook, revealing the specific strategies he uses to build highly acquirable companies from the ground up. The discussion explores Eli's core philosophies: that companies are bought, not sold, and that influencing an acquirer’s vision is more powerful than chasing it. He details his strategy of building relationships with potential buyers years before a sale and unpacks the vital role of founder-led sales in building a truly valuable company. Beyond tactics, the conversation delves into the emotional reality of the startup journey, from the difficult lows and "moments of just absolute shit" to the incredible highs that provide the motivation to do it again. These lessons led to his latest venture, Back Engine AI, which was built to solve a core problem he faced: losing the "founder superpower" of deep customer connection as a company grows. It is his favorite company yet.

    Josh Gilbert & Gopal Erinjippurath | Geospatial AI | Reshaping Climate Prediction & Global Power

    In an era where AI giants like Palantir, Google, Microsoft, and NVIDIA battle for supremacy, a new frontier is emerging: the race to predict Earth's future. Josh Gilbert and Gopal Erinjippurath, co-founders of Sust Global, reveal how geospatial AI is becoming the next critical battleground in the global tech war. Drawing parallels to the nuclear arms race, they explore how major tech players, defense contractors, and financial institutions are competing to harness vast satellite and environmental datasets to predict everything from hurricane paths to economic shockwaves. This episode pulls back the curtain on how AI is revolutionizing climate risk prediction and reshaping global power dynamics. Josh and Gopal share insider insights on which tech giants might win or lose in this trillion-dollar race, and how geospatial AI is giving decision-makers unprecedented ability to anticipate and respond to environmental and economic threats. Learn how this technological arms race is transforming not just how we understand our planet, but how nations and corporations will compete in an AI-driven future. Key takeaways Geospatial AI is the next frontier: Just like language models transformed text, geospatial AI will revolutionize how we understand and interact with the physical world. Data is the new oil, but spatial context is the refinery: Raw data is abundant, but extracting meaningful insights requires understanding the spatial relationships within that data. The race is on: Companies like Palantir are already dominating this space, but there's still room for innovative startups to carve out niches and disrupt the market. The future is multimodal: Combining geospatial data with other data sources like financial, social, and climate data will unlock unprecedented levels of insight. Human-in-the-loop is evolving: The future of geospatial AI involves intelligent agents that can autonomously analyze data and generate actionable insights, minimizing the need for human intervention.

    Andrew Jones: Global Thinker | Complex Decision-Making | Climate Interactive

    Andrew Jones is one of the foremost experts on the use of simulation modeling to improve decision-making for our most pressing global challenges, including the socio-economic and geopolitical ramifications of climate change. He is Co-Founder and CEO of Climate Interactive, and creator of the En-ROADS simulation model which has been used by an estimated 1.4 million people in over 170 countries, including by global negotiators, U.S. Senators and more than 178 Members of Congress, and multinational corporations. In this episode, filmed in Asheville, North Carolina, following the devastation of Hurricane Helene, we explore how system dynamics modeling, simulations, and synthetic experiences can be used to help policymakers and decision-makers to better conceptualize and understand the myriad dimensions of complex problems. Jones reveals methods and strategies for overcoming the challenges of time and space in order to visual future outcomes within milliseconds, creating non-judgmental environments for exploring alternative options, and avoiding reliance on ‘black box’ modeling to instead use methodologies which transparently reveal the dynamic cross-correlations at play within complex systems. ___________________________________ You too can directly work with the simulation model discussed in this podcast (available for free and in 20 languages) by going to https://www.climateinteractive.org/en-roads/ .  You can connect with Andrew Jones here:  https://www.climateinteractive.org/about/staff/andrew-p-jones/ . ___________________________________ Original Music by Billy Goodrum Watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/6VaJ9xhvEG0 ___________________________________ Socials: X: https://x.com/MailanderPod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chris_mailander_podcast/ https://www.podcast.chrismailander.com/ ___________________________________ Original Music by Billy Goodrum

    Eliot Puplett | Fintech Founder on Entrepreneur’s Journey | Mailander Podcast

    Tech entrepreneur Eliot Puplett shares his vision for democratizing global finance through blockchain technology. As founder of Medici, he's building a decentralized financial system that could do for money what the internet did for information. Puplett discusses the challenges of disrupting entrenched financial institutions, navigating regulatory hurdles, and building new infrastructure from scratch. He explains how blockchain can dramatically reduce costs and complexity in international investments by eliminating middlemen and creating transparent, immutable transactions. Beyond the technology, Puplett reveals his deeper mission: enabling thousands of people who've been excluded from traditional finance to build wealth, start companies, and access capital markets. It's a raw, candid conversation about fighting the status quo while trying to become part of it – and the messy reality of building a financial revolution from the ground up. _______________________________________ Original Music by Billy Goodrum ___________________________________ Socials: X: https://x.com/MailanderPod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chris_mailander_podcast/ https://www.podcast.chrismailander.com/ ___________________________________ Original Music by Billy Goodrum
