As much as the government can be chastised for starting this war against John Bolton, it’s not like Bolton did totally the right thing when it comes to writing and publishing this book. There’s a lot here that will leave the average person scratching their heads, wondering what some of these matters have to do with anything. Listen in as Jack and Rafael Chodos break down the hearing against John Bolton, if the constitutional lens is clouding fiduciary duties and likely outcomes from the Federals Court.

There has been a big cultural shift since the 60’s, 70’s and even 80’s when scientists thought of publishing instead of patenting. Somewhere along the way, scientists have changed their goals from publishing knowledge and gaining recognition to assembling a portfolio of patents with the possibility of publishing purposely edited research that could lead to another patent. Being an esteemed scientist in his 90’s, Dr. Leonard Hayflick has witnessed this transformation firsthand along with the advantages and disadvantages it has brought with it. Listen in as Dr. Hayflick discusses the role of publication vs. patents in stimulating the production and distribution of scientific knowledge globally.

Following the outbreak of Covid, many companies had to set up new systems that allowed employees to work from home in a secure fashion. This meant more work for Hans Barré, RiskIQ’s PMP and APAC director, who took on the challenge of helping consumers make this transition overnight. Covid aside, companies are getting serious about expanding overseas and Hans is helping to lead that charge as RiskIQ extends their reach into Asia. Listen in as Hans discusses the extension of Silicon Valley to the Asian Pacific region and throughout the world.

Have you ever been told to act your age? There is a big difference between your lifespan and your healthspan and the two numbers rarely seem to match up. Though we all fear the aches and pains of growing older, people like Dr. Michael Fredericson prefer to view medicine as a way of optimizing healthspan instead of preventing death. Unfortunately, medicine has yet to provide us with a miracle drug that makes our bodies younger, but perhaps we can achieve similar results with proper self-care. So next time someone tells you to act your age, refuse and say you’re aiming for something better.

“May you live in interesting times.” It’s an ancient Chinese curse that appears to be in effect right now. Every hour there seems to be a new story about something happening in the White House; this time, the story includes Trump and the First Amendment. In a 100+ page detailed complaint, the United States is trying to block former national security advisor, John Bolton, from publishing a book claiming it contains classified information that would breach his employment conditions. Can fiduciary duty law (in combination with a written NDA) be used to block the exercise of First Amendment rights?

There is a never-ending war going on around the world costing us zillions on products and research in its fight. The war against aging is fruitless according to Dr. Leonard Hayflick who believes the real war is against your biological age, not your chronological age. Microscopic amounts of money and research efforts have gone towards discovering the differences between old and young cells when it could be the key to unlocking a longer health span. Afterall, being 50 and looking 40 is not good when your biological age is closer to 80. Listen in as we try and figure out if biology can defy the second law of thermodynamics in physics.

Whether it be race, religion, sexual orientation, or gender, we are still going through a process of unbiasing ourselves. Still in the midst of a pandemic, pent-up anger over racial discrimination and police brutality is bubbling to the surface, largely fueled by loss of jobs, income and opportunity. Officer or civilian, we are learning a painful lesson that will be passed down to our children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren. Today Joe and Jack take a moment to self-reflect on the racial tension burning through our communities.
