In today’s episode, Ashton and Art of Trilogy Media reveal how an accidental phone call with an IRS scammer launched a nine-year crusade against fraud.

“We never planned to bust scammers—it just happened,” Ashton says, recounting their pivot from filmmakers to full-time scam baiters.

From viral YouTube videos to their brand-new Fox Nation series, "Scammed: Getting Even," the duo breaks down the layers of tech-support scams, romance cons, and AI deepfakes that prey on the elderly.

They share the five-year journey that led to 25 arrests in a $65 million Chinese-Indian crime ring.

Join us for a gripping look at the hustle behind the busts, the red flags everyone needs to know, and why awareness is the ultimate weapon against the cybercrime pandemic.

In today’s episode, Tess Cacciatore, creator of "Yumi’s Universe: Garden of Peace," shares the moving story behind her children’s book and animated film.

Inspired by a friend’s hospital tea ceremony, Tess crafted Yumi, a character who travels the world spreading peace and friendship. “It’s about teaching kids we’re all connected, no matter our differences,” she says, reflecting on Yumi’s journey through Japan, South Africa, and beyond.

Tess also discusses her longtime humanitarian work, including raising awareness about human trafficking—a hidden, multi-billion-dollar crisis affecting children globally. Like her storytelling, her advocacy focuses on healing trauma and building community.

In this episode, Jim Dukhovny, founder and CEO of Alef Aeronautics, unveils the science and vision behind the world’s first true flying car—a vehicle that could redefine how we travel. What began as a dream inspired by science fiction has evolved into a technological breakthrough, combining aerospace engineering, electric propulsion, and automotive design.

Jim explains what makes his creation different from drones or electric helicopters, how his team overcame key engineering and safety challenges, and why 2015—the same year the Back to the Future DeLorean was set to arrive—was the perfect time for this innovation to take flight.

He also addresses misconceptions about safety, air traffic, and AI control systems, and shares his vision for a future where “highways in the sky” could free us from traffic and give people back one of life’s most valuable resources—time.

In today’s episode, Esther Wojcicki—an educator, journalist, and author often called the Godmother of Silicon Valley—shares her extraordinary journey reshaping how students learn and think.

Wojcicki recounts how she built the largest student-run media program in the United States at Palo Alto High School, grounded in her TRICK philosophy: trust, respect, independence, collaboration, and kindness. “The best way to teach students is to give them freedom—and then hold them accountable,” she explains.

She also reflects on the shortcomings of traditional education, how schools often stifle creativity, and why independence is critical for preparing young people for the future. Wojcicki discusses the impact of technology and AI on learning, warning that without guiding values, these tools could hinder rather than help.

Beyond the classroom, she explores how her approach influenced her family and even shaped the culture of Silicon Valley. “Education isn’t just about content—it’s about character,” she says.

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation on education, innovation, and how to empower the next generation to thrive in a changing world.
