Yael Potter sits down with Whitney Tilson—former hedge fund manager, philanthropist, and 2025 NYC mayoral candidate—to discuss the shifting tides of the "Fourth Industrial Revolution." From the front lines of the New York City mayoral primary to the looming "storm" of the AI revolution, Tilson shares his unfiltered perspective on why the American Dream is slipping away for many and what it will take to fix it. We explore the rise of Democratic Socialism, the potential AI market bubble, and why Tilson believes most people should avoid picking stocks entirely.
