Introducing The Generalist Podcast

Speaker A: Hey, I'm Mario, and today I'm excited to introduce you to something I've wanted to create for a long time: The Generalist Podcast. As the saying goes, the future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed. There are people in the world today who are already experiencing technologies and ideas that will transform how the rest of us live 5 or 10 years from now. Look around and you can see this everywhere. We have robots that fold clothes, dance, do kung fu, and build houses. We have AIs that write and paint and make films and fold proteins and demolish us at chess.

We have humans living in space and people on Earth walking around with genetically modified animal organs or brain-computer interfaces that allow them to navigate the web, We have money that travels instantly from one corner of the world to another, and satellites that bathe entire landscapes in high-speed internet. In our lifetime, we can reasonably expect to see many of the fundamental parts of our existence change. I want more people to understand what the future might look like so that they can choose how to participate in shaping it. With The Generalist Podcast, I'm going to be bringing you thoughtful, differentiated interviews with the visionary founders, far-seeing investors, and provocative thinkers who live in these pockets of the future that we can already see today.

My hope is that in just 60 minutes each week, you'll be introduced to ideas, technologies, and people before you might have discovered them otherwise. And that, that'll make you a little bit more prepared for the current moment. If you want to be a part of these conversations, subscribe to the show so that you don't miss new episodes. We'll be sharing our first one very soon, and I can't wait to hear what you think.
