Astrophysicist Jason Shingirai Makechemu joins me for a wide-ranging conversation about science, faith, AI, black holes, dark matter, and some of the biggest unanswered questions about the universe.

Jason shares how studying astrophysics changed his relationship with faith, what modern astronomers actually do, how AI is entering scientific research, his work on galaxy dynamics and star formation, and his journey from discovering astrophysics to pursuing a PhD and helping grow astronomy in Zimbabwe.

We also get into Einstein and relativity, Galaxy Zoo, dark energy, the fate of the universe, and what makes a difficult career in science worth pursuing.

Reid and I talk about why so many people in their 20s feel behind financially. We get into social media, investing, Dave Ramsey, day trading, passive income, and why you do not need to be rich by 30.We also talk NFL vs NBA culture, Tyreek Hill, the Cowboys, and whether sports today are too driven by rings and social media.Enjoy!#money #investing #sports #podcast #financeFollow the podcast:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sambuipodcast?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc
