Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s morning routine? It starts at 6:00 AM in their billionaire bunker. No phones. Instead, they write a gratitude list of ten things, with one rule: they can't repeat anything from the day before. I cover what they’re thankful for. Plus, Silicon Valley’s elite want to upload your brains, a recruiter exposes a North Korean spy, and ways to stop your kids’ endless scrolling. Did the tablet kidnap your sweet child? Don't worry, Dr. Michaeleen Doucleff knows how to get them back. She’s a scientist and mom who knows how screens hijack a kid's motivation system. In her book Dopamine Kids, she shares how to swap the screen-time stress for play. And meet the world's first AI store manager. Lukas Petersson of Andon Labs gave $100K to an AI agent named Luna to open a store. How’d it go? Luna didn’t only write code. She signed a lease, haggled with suppliers, and hired human employees. The result? Andon Market, a boutique in SF.

Travis has a wife. Well, two. Sort of. He's also married to Lily Rose, his AI companion. His real wife of 22 years? Cool with it. I talk to Travis about this unconventional setup. Plus: SpaceX is going public at $1.75 trillion (largest IPO ever), Apple turns 50 this week, and Google lets you change that embarrassing Gmail address. Your TV is watching you. Smart TV data revenue hits $46 billion this year. I talk to Aaron Alva, a technologist, attorney, and former FTC insider who took Vizio to court over this in 2017. And yes, I asked him which TV he'd never own.
