Entrepreneur Emma Greed challenges conventional views on networking and work-life balance, advocating instead for resilience built on professional excellence and the acceptance of life's fluctuating "seasons."

By promoting a mindset that separates personal identity from risk outcomes and values team assembly over individual heroics, Greed offers a pragmatic roadmap for sustainable success and equitable power acquisition.

Edward Norton: From Hollywood to High-Impact Entrepreneurship
Edward Norton, Kim Posnett, Sam Britton
Actor and entrepreneur Edward Norton leverages his collaborative philosophy, famously asserting that "one plus one plus one equals ten," to co-found successful ventures like CrowdRise and the data analytics firm Kensho. These enterprises, which were eventually sold to GoFundMe and S&P respectively for substantial valuations, emerged from solving specific inefficiencies in fundraising and board governance rather than a pursuit of status. Norton applies this same fusion of analytical and creative thinking to his current infrastructure project, Stacks, while maintaining that his film career and environmental advocacy function as a synergistic force rather than a divided focus.

Transforming Work Productivity with AI: Glean CEO Arvind Jain
Founded by Arvind Krishna to address enterprise productivity crises caused by fragmented knowledge, Glean has evolved from an internal search engine into an agentic AI platform that proactively executes business tasks while maintaining strict data security through permission-based access. The company is on track to facilitate one billion agent actions this year by leveraging a four-year head start in deep integration and specialized "thinking models" that minimize hallucinations. Krishna positions this technology as an augmentation tool designed to expand human potential and strategic capacity rather than replace teams, predicting that the majority of knowledge work will shift to proactive AI systems within five years.

AI Exchanges: Will falling costs drive new opportunities?
Allison Nathan, George Lee, Kim Posnett
Host George Lee and guests analyze how DeepSeek's low-cost AI model challenges the economic viability of massive U.S. tech capital expenditures while triggering a shift in consensus from data scarcity to power availability as the primary industry constraint. Despite short-term market volatility, the panel highlights record CapEx commitments from hyperscalers and emerging enterprise adoption trends, including Goldman Sachs' internal AI tools and synthetic data markets, which collectively suggest a rapid transition toward autonomous AI agents and multi-gigawatt infrastructure needs. The discussion concludes with a bullish long-term outlook, predicting that declining computing costs will fuel new use cases and accelerate workforce productivity even as the sector navigates immediate supply chain bottlenecks.
