The Vance Crowe Podcast

 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.

This week Vance sat down with Jay Curtis - a retired Ontario farmer, pilot, inventor and lifelong tinkerer who believes the best way to understand the world is to take it apart and put it back together again.

In this conversation, Vance & Jay discuss a number of topics including bitcoin, restoring antique machinery, piloting aircraft with a fear of flying, AI-assisted problem solving and the joy of creating something with your own hands.

Jay also shares the story behind his new Curtis Downforce Indicator —a practical invention born from curiosity and countless hours of experimentation.

If you like fixing things, learning how machines work and using technology to solve real-world problems, then this episode is for you.
