Descripción del Episodio

In this episode of Founder's Story, we sit down with Syed Hussain, the visionary Founder & CEO of SHIZA (Shared Human Intellect Zonal Agents), a company at the forefront of agentic AI. Hussain shares how his early entrepreneurial spark—as a resourceful kid in India—laid the foundation for a career in technology and data-driven innovation. He offers unique insights into the impending shift away from labor-driven economies toward intellect-driven models powered by personal AI agents. As Syed explains, the future might not be about working more hours, but about owning and monetizing your intellect and data through agentic AI solutions. Get ready to explore what it means to “own your AI before AI owns you.”

Early Entrepreneurial Roots:

  • How Hussain’s first venture at age eight—renting out comic books—ignited his passion for solving real problems in creative ways.
  • Transitioning from small entrepreneurial endeavors to technology consulting and eventually building his own tech-focused companies.

Embracing Emerging Technologies:

  • Hussain’s journey from early web technologies and data analytics to diving into big data, blockchain, and now AI.
  • The moment ChatGPT and GPT-3 opened his eyes to the immense possibilities and cost efficiencies of AI-driven infrastructure.

Agentic AI Explained:

  • Understanding agentic AI as chains of AI agents (or processes) working together to execute tasks autonomously.
  • Why these solutions go beyond chatbots: AI agents can handle complex multi-step tasks and feed results into one another, reducing human workload.

Shaping a Post-Labor Economy:

  • The shift away from traditional labor: as tasks and jobs become automated by AI agents, how do humans create value?
  • Hussain’s vision of “individualized learning models” (ILMs) let you own your data and intellect and then monetize it.
  • The importance of decentralization and Web3 in ensuring individuals maintain control and profit from their data and personal AI agents.

Opportunities and Challenges:

  • How younger generations, less tied to a 40-hour work model, may embrace this technology more readily.
  • Potential pitfalls: the risk of repeating past mistakes where large corporations harvest and profit from personal data.
  • Hussain’s call to action: “Own your AI before AI owns you.”

The Future of SHIZA:

  • Building the infrastructure for a decentralized, agentic AI ecosystem.
  • Creating digital intellect marketplaces where individuals can share and monetize their unique knowledge and experience.
  • Positioning Shiza.ai as the hub for these agentic solutions, shaping a collaborative, globally connected web of human and AI intellect.

Actionable Takeaways:

  • Start thinking about how emerging AI solutions can handle repetitive tasks, freeing you to focus on creativity and strategy.
  • Consider how your personal data and unique life experiences could be assets in a future driven by intellectual property rather than labor.
  • Stay informed about developments in agentic AI, Web3, and decentralized platforms to protect and capitalize on your digital footprint.

To Catch a Thief: North Korea On Our Payroll

To Catch a Thief: North Korea On Our Payroll

By shows

American companies are being infiltrated—not by hackers breaking in, but by workers.  Thousands of North Korean operatives are applying to jobs across the U.S.—and getting them. They are embedding themselves at Fortune 500 companies. Government agencies. Critical infrastructure. Even the firms tasked with stopping this threat. To Catch a Thief: North Korea On Our Payroll is a first-of-its-kind audio documentary exposing this global labor pipeline—one that is quietly funneling hundreds of millions of dollars a year back to the regime, and its nuclear weapons program.  Host Nicole Perlroth, bestselling author and former lead cybersecurity and digital espionage reporter for The New York Times, takes listeners inside this hidden network—from a rare, inside look at a North Korean IT worker on the job, to interviews with defectors who escaped it, to knocking on the doors of Americans hosting “laptop farms” on North Korea's behalf. Along the way, the series reveals how this playbook is creating a hiring freeze for American workers, in a challenging job market. And how it has metastasized—adopted by cybercriminal groups and fraud networks around the world—blurring the line between nation-state espionage and organized crime. To Catch a Thief is co-produced by Nicole Perlroth and Rubrik in partnership with Pod People.  To Catch a Thief was written and produced by Nicole Perlroth, along with Khrista Rypl, TJ Raphaël, Rebecca Chaisson and Sam Gebauer. Additional thanks to Allie Pinel, Fendall Fulton, Krissy Clark, Cai Lee, Eunice Park and Aimee Machado. Editing and Sound Design by Erica Huang. Art direction and design by Ben Long, Gareth Strange and Sarah Burley at the John & Jane Agency, and support from John Leestma.

Some questions don't have answers. Yet.Dr. Harini Bhat is a clinical pharmacist and science storyteller obsessed with questions that don't have answers. Every week she unravels real events from history that still can't be fully explained. Mass hysterias. Medical oddities. Vanished civilizations. Strange signals. Unexplained phenomena that keep repeating, centuries apart, as if history is trying to tell us something.Hidden History doesn't dismiss ancient events as myth or superstition. It treats them as incomplete case files, shaped by the limits of knowledge, technology, and record-keeping. Because the unknown isn't a failure of explanation. It's a constant in human experience, one that evolves, repeats, and sometimes deepens the more we learn.Hidden History is a Rewind Original, powered by PAVE Studios.

Dr. Death

<p>Dr. John Schneider rode into town like a character out of a Western: an outsider on a Harley-Davidson, in trademark cowboy boots. He promised relief to patients suffering in Wyoming and Montana. He seemed like the hero they needed. But when surgeries go wrong and a strange letter exposes a bitter feud, medical professionals and government officials search for the truth about this cowboy doctor. They discover claims of broken bodies, bullying, fraud, and lawsuits.</p><p>From Audible, the fifth season of the hit series <em>Dr. Death</em> returns with <em>The Cowboy</em>: the story of a surgeon who took advantage of a broken system and the fight to bring him to justice.</p><p>Listen to the whole series now ad-free on Audible.

As medical experts praise Serhat Gumrukcu’s genius, the company he co-founded rockets in value to over half a billion dollars. But when a team of researchers makes a startling discovery, they begin to suspect the brilliant doctor is hiding a secret.</p><p><strong>Season 3:</strong> Paolo is a smart and handsome surgeon, renowned for his ability to perform surgeries that transform his patients’ lives. When television producer Benita covers him for a story, he’ll transform her life too, but not in the ways she expects. As Benita crosses professional lines to be with him, she learns how far Paolo will go to protect his secrets. And halfway around the world, four doctors at a prestigious medical institute make shocking discoveries of their own that call everything into question.</p><p><strong>Season 2:</strong> If someone you love is diagnosed with cancer you want them to get the best treatment from the best doctors. In 2013, patients in Michigan thought Farid Fata was that doctor. Between his prestigious education, years of experience and pleasant bedside manner, Fata was everything you could want in a doctor. But he was not who he appeared to be. This is the story of hundreds of patients in Michigan, a doctor, and a poisonous secret.</p><p><strong>Season 1: </strong>We’re at our most vulnerable when we go to our doctors. We trust the person at the other end of that scalpel. We trust the hospital. We trust the system. Christopher Duntsch was a neurosurgeon who radiated confidence. He claimed he was the best in Dallas. If you had back pain, and had tried everything else, Dr. Duntsch could give you the spine surgery that would take your pain away. But soon his patients started to experience complications, and the system failed to protect them. Which begs the question: who - or what - is that system meant to protect? Dr. Death is a story about a charming surgeon, 33 patients and a spineless system.</p><p><br></p><p>Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of <strong>Dr. Death</strong> ad-free right now.
