What happens when AI, capitalism, and human creativity collide?

In this episode, we sit down with David Kemmerer, an entrepreneur, musician, and co-founder of CoinLedger, to break down the real future of AI, content, and business. From building companies in emerging markets to the rise of “zero-person” businesses, this conversation explores how fast the world is changing and what it means for you. We dive into the shifting value of distribution, why audiences are becoming the ultimate moat, and how AI is transforming everything from agencies to entire industries. We also get into the darker questions: Will most people be left behind? Is there enough capital for the AI boom? And what happens when a handful of companies control the future?
