#27 This Will Change How You See Capitalism Forever | Reiss Jones
Jordan sits down with Reiss for a deeper dives into the ideas behind Going Direct. Reiss is an inventor, technologist, and recent Thiel Fellow whose work is deeply aligned with the show’s core theme of decentralization. Together, they explore the meaning of decentralization and its implications for the future of work, production, and purpose. From farm automation in South Korea to factory towns in Detroit and Cadbury’s model villages in England, it’s a wide-ranging and thought-provoking conversation.
