About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of the Iran war, the upcoming AI IPOs, and the evolving concept of the American Dream amidst a housing crisis.

We're back with another episode of The Week, a new weekly show from Prof G Media, hosted by George Hahn. Every Friday, we'll break down the biggest stories shaping business, technology, politics, and culture — and connect the dots across the conversations happening throughout the Prof G universe. This week, George Hahn breaks down what the war in Iran reveals about American power, why Wall Street is bracing for a wave of AI IPOs, and how the housing crisis is reshaping the American Dream. Plus, Scott reflects on our obsession with optimization — and why the most important things in life can't be measured. We’d love your feedback as we build this show.
