Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s morning routine

Open/download audio

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.
