I was a broke, university dropout, at 18 I built an industry leading social media marketing company, and at 27 I resigned as CEO. At 28 I co-founded Flight Story – a marketing and communications company, and thirdweb - a software platform, making it easy to build web3 applications. I then launched private equity fund, Flight Fund, to accelerate the next generation of European unicorns. During this time I decided to launch 'The Diary Of A CEO' podcast with the simple mission of providing an unfiltered journey into the remarkable stories and untold dimensions of the world’s most influential people, experts and thinkers.

THE FEMINISM DEBATE: Is Feminism Betraying Women? The Hidden Risk Of Casual Sex!

Are We Already Living Through Societal Collapse? 

Eric Weinstein sounds the alarm on AI threats, corrupt science, drone warfare, nuclear war, and deep-state secrets like Epstein. A world-renowned thinker, he asks: Are Elon Musk and the laws of physics our only escape route?

Eric Weinstein is a mathematician, former Managing Director of Thiel Capital, and one of today’s most provocative intellectuals. He is also the host of the popular podcast ‘The Portal’, where he tackles controversial topics - from the failures of academia to the rise of AI, the limits of physics, and the urgent breakthroughs we need. 

In this explosive interview, he explains:

 
Why the post-World War II global order is collapsing, and what comes next.

 
How AI and drone warfare are changing war forever.

 
How modern life distracts us from existential threats.

 
Why we must leave Earth if we want a future for humanity.

Gabor Mate: The Childhood Lie That’s Ruining All Of Our Lives

Are you free or do you just think that you are free? Are you in fact trapped by your past and every reaction you make shaped by your history? In this moment Dr Gabor Mate discusses how trauma can become a puppet master controlling every aspect of your life and even lead to addiction as a coping mechanism to avoid pain. To overcome this Dr Mate believes you must become aware of your trauma and make it your friend rather than your master, because the opposite of trauma is liberation.
