Techishly Jenn host Jennifer Jolly with guest Andrew Yang = all photos Jennifer Jolly
Recurring guest, Andrew Yang is back — and he’s not pulling punches. In this wide-ranging, deeply honest conversation, Jenn sits down with Yang to talk about the forces reshaping our lives right now: AI, money, power, politics, and what happens when technology moves faster than our institutions can handle. This isn’t a campaign speech or a tech hype session, it’s a real, sometimes funny, sometimes unsettling conversation about why Americans feel squeezed, why trust in institutions is collapsing, and why AI is about to upend work, wealth, and opportunity whether we’re ready or not. Yang opens up about running for president (again), the broken two-party system, why Silicon Valley lost its moral compass, and what it actually takes to build businesses that help people instead of extracting from them. Along the way, Jenn pushes Yang on a few topics like billionaires burning money on ego projects, why universal basic income is no longer a fringe idea, and how companies like Yang’s Noble Mobile are trying (quietly) to put cash back into people’s pockets. It’s candid, emotional, occasionally profane, and one of the most unfiltered conversations we’ve had on the show. If you’ve ever wondered who’s really running the country — politicians, tech giants, or venture capital — this episode is for you.
