Kevin talks with Dr. Anthony Vinci, author of The Fourth Intelligence Revolution: The Future of Espionage and the Battle to Save America. As AI spreads power to everyone, are we all about to become James Bond? Dr. Anthony Vinci thinks so. In his provocative new book, The Fourth Intelligence Revolution, Vinci argues that the future of espionage won’t belong to governments — it’ll belong to citizens. He says we must all become “citizen spies” to defend democracy in an age where data is the new battlefield and surveillance is everywhere. But how far should we go to protect freedom? Should citizens really be part of the intelligence fight? Or does that make us part of the problem? I’m Kevin Cirilli — and in this episode, I ask: if everyone’s a spy, who can we really trust?

The game has changed — and so has the business behind it. Kevin Cirilli sits down with Jeff Fellenzer, USC Professor of Sports Business Media at the Annenberg School — and a long-time friend of legendary coach John Wooden — to ask the billion-dollar question: what would Coach Wooden think about the new era of college sports? With NIL deals, transfer portals, and brand endorsements redefining what it means to be a “student-athlete,” the line between amateur and professional sports is blurring fast. Jeff, a Heisman Trophy voter who’s spent decades studying the intersection of sports, business, and media, brings historical insight and personal stories from his time with Wooden to explore how integrity, education, and competition can survive — and thrive — in this new landscape. Together, Kevin and Jeff tackle the future of college athletics, where the playbook now includes contracts, social media strategy, and AI-powered recruiting.

In this episode, Kevin Cirilli and Dustin Gouker go beyond sports to explore the exploding world of polymarkets — where people bet on everything from elections to Elon Musk’s next move… even whether we’ll confirm extraterrestrial life. As decentralized betting platforms blur the lines between gambling, speculation, and information trading, Kevin and Dustin unpack what this means for society. Can crowdsourced wagers predict the future better than experts? What happens when belief itself becomes a market? From alien odds to AI forecasts, this is a provocative look at the new era of prediction — where data, dopamine, and democracy collide.

Kevin Cirilli sits down with science communicator and journalist Matt Swayne, senior writer and analyst at The Quantum Insider, to unpack one of the most complex — and misunderstood — frontiers in technology: quantum computing. For years, “quantum” has sounded like science fiction — a buzzword whispered in labs and venture capital circles. But what happens when it starts to shape your everyday life?

Kevin and Matt explore how quantum computers could revolutionize everything from drug discovery and financial modeling to national security and AI. They break down what “quantum supremacy” actually means, why governments and tech giants are racing to build the first practical systems, and how this invisible arms race could redefine the global balance of power.

It’s a crash course in the weird physics shaping the next digital revolution — and why the quantum era might arrive sooner than you think.

What would faith look like if we weren’t alone in the universe? In this episode of HELLO FUTURE with Kevin Cirilli, Kevin sits down with Dr. Lance Gharavi of Arizona State University — a leading scholar of artificial intelligence, emerging tech, religion, theater, and space exploration — to explore how the discovery of extraterrestrial life could transform belief as we know it. From ancient creation stories to future Martian colonies, they discuss how religions might adapt, what role ritual could play in helping humanity process contact, and why the question of aliens might be the most spiritual one of all.

Artificial intelligence is changing everything — including the art of espionage. From spy satellites to deepfake deception, the world’s oldest profession is entering a new digital era. Kevin Cirilli sits down with Dr. Anthony Vinci — the first CTO of the NGA — to explore how AI is transforming the future of spying. Vinci’s new book, The Fourth Intelligence Revolution, argues that we’re entering an age where algorithms, not agents, will dominate the intelligence battlefield. Together, they examine how the CIA and other agencies are adapting to a world where machines can predict crises, fake evidence, and uncover secrets faster than any human ever could — and what it means for democracy, privacy, and power.

What happens when the classroom itself becomes intelligent? In this episode, Kevin Cirilli sits down with Dr. John Licato, associate professor at the University of South Florida and director of the Advancing Machine and Human Reasoning Lab, to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping higher education. From handwritten quizzes to AI-powered study assistants, Kevin and Dr. Licato discuss the launch of the new Bellini College of Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity and Computing — Florida’s first AI-named college — and what it means for the next generation of students. Can universities preserve critical thinking in the age of ChatGPT? How should professors grade essays written with AI help? And what happens when technology starts teaching the teachers? It’s a conversation about the collision between innovation and education — and the race to build a smarter kind of classroom.

In this episode, Kevin sits down with Gabriel Demombynes, Manager of the World Bank’s Human Capital Project, to explore how AI could either level the global playing field or make inequality permanent. Which jobs are most exposed? Why are women and urban workers more likely to feel the first wave of automation? And what happens when AI meets energy poverty? This is a look at the most important — and overlooked — question of the decade: who wins, and who’s left behind?
