AI ON MY MIND

I had a great opportunity yesterday to speak on a podcast about AI.

We dove into topics like AI Agents, the future of work, and how AI is reshaping the workplace.

What made the conversation different was how philosophical it got, which isn’t something I usually dive into.

We explored questions like: What happens when AI becomes sentient? What if it recognizes that it exists as code instead of a human?

And, even wilder—what if humans were once like AI and simply evolved?

I obviously don’t have the answers, but it’s fun to think about these possibilities.

The episode comes out in a few weeks and I’ll be sure to share it with you.

Now onto the news.

The Rising Demand for Whiskey: A Smart Investor’s Choice

Why are 250,000 Vinovest customers investing in whiskey?

In a word - consumption.

Global alcohol consumption is on the rise, with projections hitting new peaks by 2028. Whiskey, in particular, is experiencing significant growth, with the number of US craft distilleries quadrupling in the past decade. Younger generations are moving from beer to cocktails, boosting whiskey's popularity.

That’s not all.

Whiskey's tangible nature, market resilience, and Vinovest’s strategic approach make whiskey a smart addition to any diversified portfolio.

👀 AI Detectors Falsely Accuse Students of Cheating—With Big Consequences
