We talk about his pioneering work in Silicon Valley and why the US has been a choice spot for Indian immigration. I was especially interested in how Indian immigrants and children are so good at rising up within US corporations. We explore India too and how India became its own powerhouse.

Today on The Cameron Journal Podcast we are joined by Candace Lynn Talmadge who is the author of several paranormal nonfiction books and the popular Stoneslayer fiction series. She had a dream that presaged some dramatic changes in her family and that led her on a journey to explore unseen realms around her which resulted in her book series. Despite being a business journalist for decades, this new chapter in her writing and her life have opened her up to new experiences and new healing. This is a deep, heavy and vulnerable conversation, especially for Cameron. Be in a good mood when you listen to this one because we go there!

Today on The Cameron Journal Podcast we are joined by Frank Spring of Altum insights who does surveys and research on people to help democrats understand the issues bothering voters. We get into why the Democrats have lost the message, narrative, and plot and how they can get it back and how it oddly ties into the fears of rural voters in Nebraska who fear AI for no other reason than it might break up their tight-knit communities where they know the people that they live with and their neighbors know them. It's a weird journey to get to that conversation so I would encourage you to take this journey. If you're concerned about current events and don't understand why the Democratic party can't seem to get it together, then this episode is vital.

Today on The Cameron Journal Podcast we are joined by Stu Strumwasser the author of a new book called The Real Collusion which is just out now. We spend the time talking about capital, politics and how American is getting eaten from the inside out by ever-greedier people who can't help themselves. The worst part is that this transfer of national income has been enabled by both political parties who have assiduously created a system where they are the only choices and anyone else is systematically shut out of debates and political conversations. Can we be a democracy with only 2 political parties who are in cahoots with each other? Stu doesn't think so and I don't either. We talk more about this and why we need real debate in this country.
