    Oct 2 2025
    Ari Block joins to share his riveting journey, starting with his early ventures in entrepreneurship and his time in the military, as well as the hard lessons he learned along the way. The discussion explores the power of storytelling to unify, social psychology, and how understanding human behaviour can change our perspective on global conflicts. Ari and Furkhan dive deep into the future of AI, its potential perils, and transformative possibilities.
