Interview - Robotaxis, AI, and the Future of Driving with Lyft’s CEO
Lyft CEO David Risher is leading a comeback story at the ridesharing company. Two years into the job, he’s made Lyft profitable, expanded into Europe, and grown market share against Uber.
In this conversation with Mosheh, Risher looks into the future: hybrid fleets of drivers and robotaxis, how AI will shape transportation, and whether the next generation of Americans will even need to learn how to drive. He lays out Lyft’s vision for cities of the future — and how to balance innovation with human connection at a time when technology often isolates more than it brings us together.
Risher also reflects on his experience at senior levels of Microsoft and Amazon, sharing what he’s learned about leadership, customer loyalty (obsessions), and the lessons tech has and hasn’t learned from the past couple decades.

Interview: The CIA At Risk - Domestic Politics, Foreign Enemies
Few institutions are as secretive, controversial, and consequential as the CIA. From covert Cold War operations to the war on terror, America’s spy agency has been both praised for keeping the country safe and condemned for its failures and abuses.
Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and historian Tim Weiner joins us to unpack that complicated history and discuss his new book, The Mission, which traces how the CIA has struggled to adapt espionage in the 21st century. Weiner is also the author of the National Book Award–winning Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA, Enemies: A History of the FBI.
In this conversation, we explore the agency’s origins, its Cold War and post-9/11 record, and the lessons of Iraq, torture, and Afghanistan. We discuss the biggest threats facing the U.S. today—including China’s massive intelligence apparatus, estimated to be 20 times the size of the CIA, and how Beijing’s ambitions differ from Russia’s. We discuss whether intelligence leaders believe the biggest threat to US national security is internal or external. And, Weiner breaks down the concerns over President Trump’s approach to the agency—and what happens when intelligence is shaped, or warped, by politics.
