What do mortgages, geopolitics, energy, and AI have in common? More than you think. In this week’s episode of Nothing In Common, Christopher Griffith and Giri Devanur dive deep into the tectonic shifts shaking our world—from mortgage markets stuck in limbo to the rise of AI, the battle for energy dominance, and the changing global currency game.

Mortgage lenders are staffing up while rates freeze, and affordability is hammering borrowers. What’s real in this shifting market? How are Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac evolving — or not? Meanwhile, energy innovation is booming, especially in Texas, home to a $10 billion AI refinery powering the future. And on the geopolitical stage, the BRICS nations trade currencies, but the U.S. dollar still holds the key. AI isn’t science fiction anymore—it’s the game changer redefining trust, jobs, and industries.

Join Chris and Giri as they explore:

• The fragile state of the mortgage market and looming industry disruption

• Why Texas is the rising powerhouse in energy and AI innovation

• The reality behind geopolitical moves challenging the dollar

• How AI will replace, extend, and reshape human roles — and why trust matters more than ever

• What it means to join AI or die in today’s accelerating tech landscape

This episode is for the builders, the skeptics, and anyone curious about what’s really happening beneath the surface.

Listen, learn, and let’s argue about the future — together.
