In a major place like Saudi Arabia, yes, you could pop up a city. And this concept of new cities is incredibly appealing. This is like the siren song of entrepreneurship in some ways. The siren calls you to the rocks. I think what we're going to see here is Saudi Arabia. This is the grand courting of Silicon Valley and this is the drive run.
Jason kicks off the show by breaking down clips from a recent conversation between Marc Andreessen, Ben Horowitz, and Adam Neumann about Saudi Arabia’s promising startup scene (2:44). This leads to Jason diving into new city concepts and Trump’s presidential campaign (13:01). Then, BioFluff CEO Martin Stübler joins the show to discuss his sustainable fashion alternative (30:44).
