The Vance Crowe Podcast

What if modern physics has got the mathematics right, but still doesn't fully understand what those numbers are describing?
This week Vance sat down with Dr. Anastasia Bendebury & Dr. Michael Shilo DeLay - hosts of the DemystifySci Podcast and authors of “Paradox Lost: The Material Principles of Natural Philosophy” - for a fascinating conversation that challenges some of the most fundamental assumptions in modern physics.
From gravity and magnetism to electric charge, quantum mechanics and the mysterious nature of electrons, Anastasia and Shilo explain why they believe science has become increasingly reliant on mathematical predictions rather than physical explanations.
They also introduce their own hypothesis about the structure of atoms, and consider why established scientific ideas provoke such resistance. This episode is a thought-provoking conversation about scientific discovery and the importance of asking the questions that others have stopped asking.

Why does selling at a good price sometimes feel like a terrible decision? And how do you know when to act, when markets can change overnight?
Vance Crowe sits down with Ryan Denis, a Saskatchewan-raised grain marketing advisor, entrepreneur, and host of the What the Futures podcast, to explore the psychology of financial decision-making and the enormous pressures facing modern farmers.
Ryan explains why farmers can feel devastated when grain prices rise after they've already sold, how fear and regret influence market decisions, and why having a clear strategy is often more valuable than trying to predict the future.
Ryan also shares the remarkable story of leaving agricultural giant Cargill to start his own business, only to face a seven-figure legal demand following some ill-advised social media posts. He also explains how a carefully timed wheat-selling strategy left one farming operation approximately $300,000 ahead of the market.
The conversation also explores rising farming costs, the changing role of AI in agriculture, and Ryan's fresh approach to bringing farmers together through his Crop Marketing Made Cool: UNHINGED 2026 conference ( - where Vance will be speaking this December).

Is AI really an existential threat, or are we repeating a familiar pattern of predicting the end of civilization?
Vance Crowe welcomes back writer, philosopher and podcast host Ben Landau-Taylor to explore the ideas behind his Palladium essay, The Life Cycle of an Apocalypse.
Ben traces the history of apocalyptic thinking, from the devastation of World War I and fears of nuclear annihilation, to overpopulation, climate catastrophe and today's predictions of an AI apocalypse. He argues that these recurring fears reflect a deeper cultural anxiety about humanity's relationship with technology.
They also discuss the origins of AI “doomerism”, the influence of early AI thinkers on companies like OpenAI and Anthropic, the prospect of super intelligent AI, and whether fears about emerging technology could lead to greater government control and concentrated power.

 Vance Crowe joins Dr. Kevin Folta's University of Florida classroom to explain the biggest shift happening on the internet right now: the move from the Google search era to the agentic AI era. For decades, truth online was decided by backlinks. Now AI decides what to surface based on who answers questions directly, publishes primary sources, and makes information easy to retrieve. That changes everything for anyone who wants their work to be found.

Vance discusses his hypothesis:  most of human office work is 80% focused on Copy/paste/search/schedule all of which AI will do for us going forward.

Vance shares the four rules he discovered while making his own content visible to AI, then takes questions from students on misinformation, AI-generated content feeding on itself, consciousness, the wealth gap, corporate monopolies, and why he believes large companies secretly love activists. He closes with the single biggest opportunity young people have today: while the last generation spent 30 years in copy-paste jobs, students entering the workforce now can build with AI from day one.

Plus: why human taste and preferences become more valuable, not less, in a world where AI can make anything.

Chris Barron returns to the podcast to talk with Vance about what happens when a business comes under pressure — and how the best leaders keep financial stress, poor communication and difficult decisions from pulling an operation apart.
The pair also discuss leadership & employee training, investing in the right people, bringing outside perspectives into a business, managing margins instead of trying to predict markets, tracking where your time actually goes, and knowing when to delegate.
Chris also explains how good businesses inevitably go through difficult cycles and how better data can lead to better decisions when things get tight.
The conversation concludes with a look at the upcoming AgView Executive Business Conference in Hollywood Beach, Florida.

Simone and Malcolm Collins return to the Vance Crowe Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about technology, religion, parenting and the future of civilization.
They discuss how they are using Artificial Intelligence, and how it will reshape work, the economy and ultimately human values.
The couple also explain their “Techno-Puritan” religious framework, concerns about demographic decline, and their efforts to shift the Overton window on issues they believe will shape the future.
The conversation also explores politics, culture, the “nerd right,” U.S. foreign policy and competing visions - with Vance challenging several of their more provocative ideas.

This week Vance sits down with Montessori educator Kerry Moran of Kirkwood Children’s House in St. Louis. The pair share a wide-ranging conversation about how children learn, how independence develops, and what education may need to become in the age of AI.
 
Kerry explains the philosophy behind the Montessori classroom — from hands-on materials and mixed-age groups to uninterrupted work periods, nature, observation and “freedom within limits.” She discusses why Montessori teachers act as guides rather than the center of the classroom, and how giving children meaningful responsibility can help develop problem-solving, self-control and confidence.
This conversation explores the importance of attention and curiosity, why young children need physical experiences, and how parents can recognize a strong Montessori school.
