Disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried testified in his own trial–without jurors. CNBC’s Kate Rooney was in the courtroom, and she shares details of what he said and how the judge responded. Former SEC Commissioner and attorney Jay Clayton joins to discuss the strategy of SBF’s defense team. Check out Andrew Ross Sorkin’s interview with Sam Bankman-Fried at the beginning of the saga–when he was still in the Bahamas! Plus, in a conversation you’ll only hear on this podcast, Andrew Ross Sorkin speaks with singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur Will.i.am and inventor and philanthropist Dean Kamen on their work to educate kids in STEM and robotics. Kamen founded nonprofit FIRST in 1989, and now he and Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.i.am are gearing up for their annual fundraising gala in December. The two discuss the value of FIRST’s K-12 STEM education programs, how the musician first met the Segway inventor, and how AI is changing job opportunities for everyone–from kids to creatives.
