The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway

The Week: AI, GLP-1s, and Scott's Iran War Reversal

We're back with another episode of The Week, a new weekly show from Prof G Media, hosted by George Hahn. Every Friday, we'll break down the biggest stories shaping business, technology, politics, and culture — and connect the dots across the conversations happening throughout the Prof G universe. This week, George explores a question showing up everywhere from Silicon Valley to Hollywood: what happens when the promise of a technology collides with the reality of its costs? We discuss growing concerns about AI's return on investment, why Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos believes Hollywood's fears may be overblown, and why Eli Lilly CEO David Ricks thinks GLP-1 drugs could prove even more transformative than artificial intelligence. Plus, Scott revisits his early support for military action in Iran and reflects on how his thinking has changed as the war enters its fourth month. We’d love your feedback as we build this show.

China Decode: Can China Challenge Nvidia’s Dominance?

Alice Han and James Kynge break down Huawei’s bold new strategy to challenge Nvidia and the future of AI chips. They explore the rise of Huawei’s influential "chip queen" He Tingbo, the company’s attempt to move beyond Moore’s Law, and what it could mean for the global semiconductor race. Then, tensions between China and Europe are heating up. With record trade deficits, growing concerns over Chinese imports, and new efforts to protect European industries, Alice and James examine whether a full-scale China-EU trade war is beginning to take shape. Finally, Hong Kong has officially overtaken Switzerland as the world’s largest offshore wealth hub. They discuss what’s driving the surge in cross-border wealth flowing through Hong Kong, why China’s ultra-rich are increasingly keeping assets closer to home, and the risks that come with tying so much wealth to the fortunes of mainland China.
