The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway

We're back with another episode of The Week, a new weekly show from Prof G Media, hosted by George Hahn.

Every Friday, we'll break down the biggest stories shaping business, technology, politics, and culture — and connect the dots across the conversations happening throughout the Prof G universe.

This week, George Hahn breaks down what the war in Iran reveals about American power, why Wall Street is bracing for a wave of AI IPOs, and how the housing crisis is reshaping the American Dream. Plus, Scott reflects on our obsession with optimization — and why the most important things in life can't be measured.

For our 400th episode, Scott is joined by Anne Applebaum and Fiona Hill to discuss the wars in Ukraine and Iran, the future of global power, and what these conflicts reveal about America's role in the world.

They explore whether Ukraine is changing the future of warfare, how Vladimir Putin's position has evolved over the last year, and what might come next for Iran. They also discuss the strengths and weaknesses of authoritarian regimes, the importance of alliances, and why soft power may matter more than military power in the years ahead.
