    The Valley Current®: How will post-AI innovation evolve in SV?

    In this episode of The Valley Current®, host Jack Russo and Joe Cucchiara dive into what the future holds as artificial intelligence transforms Silicon Valley's economy, careers, and culture. Jack and Joe explore how autonomous systems, shifting business models, and rapid technological change are challenging traditional paths like college and conventional employment, while giving rise to micro-businesses and new entrepreneurial opportunities. Joe and Jack argue that tomorrow's innovators won't rely on established structures but will thrive on adaptability, creative problem-solving, and early experimentation. With uncertainties ahead, they highlight how bold thinking and fresh perspectives, especially from younger founders, could shape a more dynamic, unpredictable innovation landscape.

    The Valley Current®: The Trillionaire Divide

    In this provocative episode of The Valley Current®, host Jack Russo sits down with investor and strategist Pat Duke for a wide-ranging, no-holds-barred conversation about where money, power, and society are headed. They examine the explosive rise of extreme wealth, the shrinking relevance of traditional labor in an automated economy, and how financial markets increasingly reward scale over fairness. Along the way, Jack and Pat grapple with uncomfortable questions about political accountability, civil rights, and the quiet normalization of inequality. From trillion-dollar fortunes and Wall Street incentives to autonomous vehicles and controversial biotech research, this episode challenges listeners to confront the systems shaping our economic future, and who they truly serve. https://www.gobankingrates.com/net-worth/business-people/billionaires-gained-combined-billion-ai-investments/    Jack Russo Managing Partner Jrusso@computerlaw.com www.computerlaw.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackrusso "Every Entrepreneur Imagines a Better World"®️

    Is AI Adoption Really Happening?

    Is AI truly transforming the way businesses operate, or is it mostly hype? In this episode of The Valley Current®, Jack Russo and Joe Cucchiara dig into the widening gap between AI adoption and how little it's actually used day to day inside organizations. They explore why employees often resist new tools, how AI enthusiasm may be masking a looming bubble, and what history (from the 1929 market crash) can teach us about today's tech-fueled optimism. Joe and Jack also analyze interest rates, tight inventory in Silicon Valley, rising foreclosures, and why a market correction may be coming. It's a no-nonsense conversation that asks the uncomfortable question few are willing to confront: are we building the future, or repeating the mistakes that led to past market collapses as the next economic shift quietly takes shape?

    The Valley Current®: Why Should Every Entrepreneur Learn About EOS?

    Why do so many entrepreneurs hit a ceiling, and how does EOS break them through it? Jack Russo sits down with EOS implementer Theo Panopoulos to unpack why the Entrepreneurial Operating System has become a game-changer for founders everywhere. Theo explains how EOS cuts through complexity, forcing leaders to define their true vision, align their teams, and build accountability into every corner of the business. Drawing on his own entrepreneurial journey, he shows how EOS turns scattered effort into focused traction, helping even high-achieving leaders understand their strengths, clarify purpose, and finally execute with discipline. If you want your business to run smoother and grow faster, this episode makes the case: EOS isn't optional. It's essential. https://www.eosworldwide.com/    Jack Russo Managing Partner Jrusso@computerlaw.com www.computerlaw.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackrusso "Every Entrepreneur Imagines a Better World"®️

    The Valley Current®: How does novel writing produce better legal writing: "The Ghost Case Posse" by Joe Greco

    In today's episode of The Valley Current®, host Jack Russo sits down with attorney and debut novelist Joe Greco, whose new thriller The Ghost Case Posse draws on the haunting legacy of the Golden State Killer. Joe describes how immersing himself in a world of fear, damaged lives, and relentless investigation pushed him to master tension, character psychology, and pacing, all essential tools for gripping storytelling. As the discussion turns to craft, Joe explains how these same techniques sharpen legal writing: narrative coherence, disciplined word economy, and precise structuring of arguments. He and Jack explore how story architecture and controlled pacing help lawyers produce clearer, more persuasive briefs, and why narrative mastery is becoming an essential skill in modern advocacy.

    The Valley Current®: Is AI Becoming a Commodity?

    AI's boom might be racing toward a dead end as today's LLMs look more like vacuum tubes than world-changers. In this episode of The Valley Current®, Jack Russo and former Apple executive Russ Irwin break down why AI is rapidly becoming a commodity and why the real power will shift to industry-specific systems built on the private data companies already have. They explore how some companies like Apple may eventually blend multiple AIs behind the scenes, the rise of law firms building in-house AI tools, NVIDIA's offline mini-supercomputer, and the long history of fast followers overtaking first movers. If AI leaders can be swapped out as easily as models, the next giant may not be who you expect.   Jack Russo Managing Partner Jrusso@computerlaw.com www.computerlaw.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackrusso "Every Entrepreneur Imagines a Better World"®️
