In a cross-over episode with Hudson's Arsenal of Democracy podcast, Raj Shah, former Director of the Defense Innovation Unit, Managing Parter at Shield Capital, and co-author of Unit X: How the Pentagon and Silicon Valley Are Transforming the Future of War, joins The Realignment. Raj and Marshall discuss the evolution of Silicon Valley's relationship with the U.S. military since the 2010s, his time directing the Defense Innovation Unit, where D.C. stands in the way of innovation, and how lessons from today's current conflicts should shape our approach to the future.
