The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway

Alice Han and James Kynge break down reports that a Chinese robotics startup has topped a leading international benchmark for embodied AI, raising new questions about whether China is pulling ahead in one of the most important technological competitions of the decade.

They also examine Xi Jinping's first trip to North Korea since 2019 and what it reveals about China's evolving relationships with Kim Jong Un, Vladimir Putin, and Donald Trump amid growing geopolitical tensions.

Plus, China's government launches a sweeping crackdown on "ghost kitchens" after regulators uncovered tens of thousands of fake restaurants operating on major food delivery platforms.

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 explores a question showing up everywhere from Silicon Valley to Hollywood: what happens when the promise of a technology collides with the reality of its costs?

We discuss growing concerns about AI's return on investment, why Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos believes Hollywood's fears may be overblown, and why Eli Lilly CEO David Ricks thinks GLP-1 drugs could prove even more transformative than artificial intelligence. Plus, Scott revisits his early support for military action in Iran and reflects on how his thinking has changed as the war enters its fourth month.

We’d love your feedback as we build this show. Let us know what you think at info@profgmedia.com.

David Ricks, Chair and CEO of Eli Lilly, joins Scott to discuss the rise of GLP-1 drugs, the future of obesity treatment, and why America's healthcare system is facing a crisis of trust. They explore healthcare costs, addiction, unregulated peptides, pharmaceutical innovation, and the role AI could play in the next generation of drug discovery.
