1Ethan Mollick, professor at the Wharton School and author of One Useful Thing, joins Scott Galloway to examine the biggest mistake companies are making about AI.
They discuss why fears of mass job loss may be premature, how quiet productivity gains are already reshaping work, and why most organizations lack the imagination to redesign themselves around new technology. Ethan also explores AI in higher education and medicine, the rise of open-weight models, and what all of this means for young people entering the workforce.

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov explore a weekend that showcased two very different Americas: Bad Bunny celebrated unity across the continent, while Donald Trump leaned into culture wars, attacking an Olympic skier for expressing mixed feelings about representing the U.S. and amplifying a racist video of the Obamas. At the same time, Congress is reviewing Epstein files, Ghislaine Maxwell is publicly hinting at clemency deals, and Trump’s allies are facing political scrutiny. They also break down Trump’s economic message ahead of the midterms — from AI-driven growth claims to foreign investment promises — and whether everyday Americans are actually seeing the benefits. Plus, they tackle the skyrocketing cost of NYC private schools, now topping $70,000 a year at elite institutions, and what it means for families navigating a struggling public system.

In this episode of China Decode, Alice Han and James Kynge dig into China’s so-called “genius camps” — the small, brutally selective talent pipeline behind many of the country’s biggest tech and AI breakthroughs. Then they turn to rising nuclear tensions after the U.S. accuses China of having conducted a secret nuclear test in 2020, just as the last major U.S.-Russia arms control treaty expires. How credible are the claims, and what does this mean for global nuclear negotiations? Plus, China’s underground club scene is roaring back after years of pandemic closures, as global music crosses borders in new ways — including Bad Bunny topping the charts in China.

Scott Galloway responds to listener questions about ‘Resist and Unsubscribe’ – a campaign built on the idea that economic pressure, not outrage, is the most effective lever for change.
He explains why subscription revenue matters more than advertising, where consumer boycotts could backfire, and what risks come with taking this approach.

Journalist Derek Thompson joins Scott Galloway to examine why Americans feel increasingly unhappy — even as many measures of health, safety, and quality of life improve.
They discuss how media incentives and negativity bias distort our perception of reality, why outrage dominates online discourse, and how social comparison and screen-based life erode well-being. Derek also explores the impact of AI on inequality, the promise and limits of GLP-1 drugs, and why progress in technology and health hasn’t translated into greater happiness or connection.

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down Trump’s signature move: flooding the zone. From a massive Epstein document dump that swallows the news cycle, to Trump inserting himself into active investigations and openly pushing to “nationalize” voting, the noise is the point. Then, they zoom out to Trump’s broader project — remaking Washington in his own image, from cultural institutions to public monuments — and ask whether it’s ideology, ego, or legacy-building. Finally, they look at a very different kind of power: Bad Bunny’s moment, celebrity resistance to Trump’s immigration crackdown, and whether culture can still move politics when politics feels overwhelming.

In this episode of China Decode, Alice Han and James Kynge unpack how China is reshaping global power—sometimes loudly, sometimes through pandas, ports, and pop culture. As Donald Trump warns allies like the U.K. and Canada that getting closer to Beijing is “dangerous,” reality tells a messier story: British pharma giant AstraZeneca is cutting billion-dollar deals in China, Japan is losing its last pandas amid rising tensions, and Washington is scrambling to blunt China’s grip on critical minerals.
They also dive into a Panamanian court ruling that just blew up a Hong Kong firm’s control over key canal ports—an apparent U.S. win that could quickly become a new U.S.–China flashpoint over one of the world’s most important trade chokepoints. And finally, they decode the viral idea that everyone is living a “very Chinese time,” from wellness trends to memes, and what it says about growing American disillusionment—and China’s evolving soft power. Why does all this matter? Because these fights aren’t abstract: they affect supply chains, prices, travel, jobs, and how the next generation sees America’s place in the world.

Historian Timothy Snyder joins Scott Galloway to put the current political moment in historical context — and to explain why it should not be dismissed as abstract or theoretical.
They discuss recent killings during federal immigration operations, how propaganda attempts to overwrite reality, and why video evidence and “small truths” matter in resisting authoritarian power. Tim also examines the role of corporations, the limits of political parties, and what history shows about protest, coalition-building, and civic action.

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov dig into the political fallout from the killing of Alex Pretti and what it means for Democrats facing a high-stakes choice: use their leverage to rein in ICE, even if it risks a shutdown—or back down. They also unpack the GOP’s growing contradiction on the Second Amendment, as Republicans defend federal agents who killed a lawful gun owner. And finally, they take a look at Melania Trump’s glossy new documentary and what a $40 million payday says about her priorities as First Lady.

In this episode of China Decode, Alice Han and James Kynge break down a seismic week in Beijing. China has effectively blown up the top of its military command, sidelining Xi Jinping’s most trusted lieutenant and raising questions about loyalty, readiness, and how secure Xi really is at the apex of power. They explain what this unprecedented purge inside the PLA means—not just for China’s military, but for regional stability and markets. They also unpack the post-China future of TikTok. After years of bans, lawsuits, and security concerns, a last-minute deal keeps the app alive in the U.S.—but does it truly sever Beijing’s influence, or just repackage it? With 180 million American users and a generation getting its news from TikTok, we explain why this deal matters far beyond social media. And finally, Alice sits down with economist Houze Song to cut through the spin on China’s economy—from headline growth numbers and export dependence to the long shadow of the property collapse and what Beijing may (or may not) do next.

Live from Davos, Scott Galloway and historian Niall Ferguson examine why today’s geopolitical moment looks less like a “new world order” and more like a return to Cold War power politics.
They discuss Trump’s foreign policy tactics, China as the central global rival, the limits of alliance politics, and why Ukraine’s war may only end through a fragile and imperfect peace.

Scott. So disappointing. You offered no resistance. Ferguson is a smart guy, but a total pompous asshole.
For what it’s worth, can we please respect the killed people under Iranian regime fighting for their freedom by not undermining their number? There’s at least 12,000 people killed in the past week. Those are human being, not committing a crime, but asking for freedom…
nice try, prof g. lol, what a piece of shit, nobody cares your little feeling
So enlightening. Thanks for raising awareness about these issues. Love your work Mooch and Prof G!!

Okay, that was pure magic. Such inspiring dialog between two of our favorite commentators on the American reality. It was obvious that the Prof could feel it too, and that brought out his most thoughtful insights. How about a threesome pod with Kara involved: that too, I am sure, would be pure delight. Congrats...please keep raising the issues and exploring ideas, different ways forward. Listening from Nova Scotia, you have put a dent in our depression.
Slavery is always wrong but we are for mandatory service. What's the difference ? Mandatory is another branch of authoritarianism.

thank you so much for sharing us these incredible information.. https://prodientim.com
ok, its no secret Musk wants X to the everything app. So what's to stop him from using his piston to get Trump to agree to using X for social security payments, or all government payments? Or just setting up another app and taking a percentage?
