In one of our earliest recorded episodes, Summer schools Bryan and Alex on the truth about the biggest secret in information security.

Hype-cutting gets a new ally as SFMTA Director Jeffrey Tumlin shares the biggest secret in mobility, then takes a white hot chainsaw through myths around smart cities, efficiency, congestion, housing costs, the relationship between socialism and potholes, supply and demand, the value of time, how San Francisco can be fixed, and how public/private partnerships go wrong…or right.

In Alex Roy’s favorite episode since so far, Josh McManus (Chief Strategy Officer, Civic) talks about trust, safety, why '“city” is a verb instead of a noun, Bucky Fuller, spreading principles instead of scaling programs, autonomy isn’t a technical or regulatory problem, confusing movement with progress, the tyranny of intellectualism, not believing your own BS, the folly of zero-sum thinking, hacking capitalism for good, and why we should value simplicity, durability and beauty.

The best way to make American great is to equip our most talented kids with the tools to build the next generation of technology. The problem? Many public schools lack computer science classes. The solution: Steel City Codes, an educational non-profit led by kids, for kids. Meet founders Akshana Dassanaike-Perera, Joshua Zhou & Claire Shao.

He led Wired Magazine from 2001-2012, making the internet cool and mainstream. He coined the term “The Long Tail.” Now Chris Anderson is the Founder/CEO of 3D Robotics, DIY Drones and DIY Robocars, an autonomous racing series anyone can afford to enter.

He used to manage an endurance racing team. Now he’s in charge of a fleet of autonomous vehicles. Argo AI’s Andre Ramdhanny explains what they have in common, and why you don’t need a PhD to work in the tech sector.
