Deep dives
Importance of Opportunity
Opportunity should be given to individuals based on their aptitude, regardless of their background or origin.
Subsidy Philanthropy vs. Solutions Philanthropy
Subsidy philanthropy is not enough to address the broken aspects of society. Solutions philanthropy is necessary for real leadership and positive change.
Background and Early Influences
Both Thomas Tell and Joe Lansdale grew up with unique backgrounds and experiences. Thomas mentions the impact of growing up with a single mom, working multiple jobs, and his love for sports. On the other hand, Joe had early exposure to technology and innovation in Silicon Valley, being surrounded by friends who were math and chess champions, and learning programming at a young age.
Excitement and Concerns About Emerging Technologies
Joe Lansdale expresses excitement about the potential of AI and its ability to enhance various sectors such as education and healthcare. However, he also acknowledges the risks and ethical concerns associated with artificial intelligence, especially in terms of its potential misuse. Thomas Tell emphasizes the transformative possibilities of bio and synthetic biology in healthcare but raises concerns about the weaponization of these technologies.
In the second episode of our ‘July With Jen’ miniseries, we welcome two leading entrepreneurs on the show for a varied discussion on the US economy, geopolitics, tech and more.

The two entrepreneurs offer some thoughtful insights on emerging technologies, AI, synthetic biology, the private and public sectors, as well as the rise of China and America’s response. They also discuss the impact of COVID-19 on supply chains & manufacturing, philanthropy, and leadership.
