In this episode of the Silicon Valley Girl Podcast, Marina Mogilko sits down with Anne Wojcicki, co-founder and CEO of 23andMe — the genetic testing company that has helped more than 14 million people understand their ancestry and health risks, and built one of the largest human genetic datasets in the world.After 23andMe went through bankruptcy and Anne lost control of the company she started in 2006, she fought to win it back at a court-approved auction and relaunched it as a nonprofit (TTAM Research Institute) — so no single pharma company would ever own your DNA.In this conversation she breaks down what AI + your DNA can actually do for your health right now: predicting disease years before you feel it, the genetic risk factors everyone should test for, why the healthcare system is built to treat disease instead of preventing it, and the small daily habits that move the needle most.She also opens up about the hardest year of her life — losing her sister, former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, to lung cancer, going through bankruptcy, and why she refused to walk away. Plus: raising kids as a founder, having a baby at 45, co-parenting with her ex-husband Sergey Brin, and the single smartest thing you can do for your body in 2026.Links:📌 Subscribe to my free newsletter where I go deeper on AI tools, career strategies, and building with AI: https://siliconvalleygirl.beehiiv.com/subscribe?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=futureproof-sub&utm_content=ErikBrynjolfsson𝕏 : https://x.com/siliconvalleymm🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/siliconvalleygirl/💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marinamogilko📌 My Companies & Products: https://Marinamogilko.co
Erik Brynjolfsson is the Stanford economist who has spent 30 years measuring what technology actually does to jobs. He wrote "The Second Machine Age," directs the Stanford Digital Economy Lab, and just published "Canaries in the Coal Mine" — the paper showing AI has already cut employment 16% for workers under 25 in the most exposed jobs.If you're trying to figure out where your career goes in an AI world — which side of the line your job is on, and what to do about it — this one is for you.Topics: AI and jobs, future of work, automation, career advice, AI agents, entry-level jobs, economics of AI, Erik Brynjolfsson, Stanford Digital Economy Lab, Silicon Valley GirlLinks:📌 Subscribe to my free newsletter where I go deeper on AI tools, career strategies, and building with AI: https://siliconvalleygirl.beehiiv.com/subscribe?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=futureproof-sub&utm_content=ErikBrynjolfsson𝕏 : https://x.com/siliconvalleymm🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/siliconvalleygirl/💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marinamogilko📌 My Companies & Products: https://Marinamogilko.co
Who actually gets access to AI, and does it stay open to everyone or slowly turn into a privilege for a few? Daniil and David Liberman came on to answer that. They're building a decentralized alternative to Big Tech AI. We got into why every job eventually gets disrupted (and the real timeline), the one-hour-a-day habit that beats Netflix for staying ahead, and how pointing ChatGPT's camera at a broken pipe fixed 3 years of no hot water in their house. Stay to the end for the rapid-fire round: whether today's AI leaders will still lead in five years, and the single most underrated move you can make tomorrow to control your life in ten. Feeling behind on AI? This is the 3-year map. We cover: 1. Is AI overhyped, and the COVID-like moment they expect within 2 years 2. The plumber test: 3 years of no hot water, fixed by ChatGPT's camera 3. Why Dario Amodei owns ~1.5% of Anthropic, and who really controls AI 4. Which jobs get disrupted first, and the timeline (next year vs. 5–10 years) 5. Why "open weight" Chinese models aren't the same as open source 6. The one-hour-a-day habit for surviving the next 3 years.Links:📌Subscribe to my free newsletter where I go deeper on AI tools, career strategies, and building with AI: https://siliconvalleygirl.beehiiv.com/subscribe?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=futureproof-sub&utm_content=TheLibermans🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/siliconvalleygirl/𝕏 : https://x.com/siliconvalleymm💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marinamogilko📌 My Companies & Products: https://Marinamogilko.co
Sal Khan built Khan Academy into a free education platform used by over 200 million people worldwide. Now he's writing a book called Job Shock, arguing AI could disrupt jobs faster than his own past predictions accounted for.Which jobs are already disappearing. Which ones are safe. What Khan Academy is doing internally with AI, including a $1.2M/year Anthropic bill.And Sal's new venture with TED and ETS: a $10,000, accreditation-pending degree built around durable skills — the kind AI still can't replicate.
Matthew Derella runs the ads business at LinkedIn, a platform with over 1 billion professionals. A recent guest on this podcast told me you have two years left to build a personal brand before AI floods the feed. I brought that argument to Matt at Cannes, and he took the other side: the more AI content there is, the more the credibility of the source decides who gets found, and LLMs already lean on citations from people who know their stuff. He shared the numbers behind it: founders who post regularly on LinkedIn are 71% more likely to drive business on the platform, video is growing at over 20%, and 3 out of 4 CMOs now say a media plan without a creator is incomplete. Stay till the end for his 3 steps to start on LinkedIn in 2026
Govind Balakrishnan is the SVP running Adobe Express. He's spent 20 years at Adobe and watched creation move from desktop to mobile to social feeds. We sat down at Cannes to talk about why AI content doesn't get views. His answer: everyone blames the algorithms, but it's humans who are tuning it out. AI now gets you 60–70% of the creative work in minutes. The last 20–30%, where you add your own taste and voice, is the part people actually watch. He also told me why he expects the industry to need more designers 3 years from now. Stay till the end for his advice to designers who are already losing clients to AI.
Steve Jurvetson has worked with Elon Musk for 29 years and was one of the earliest investors in SpaceX and Tesla, back when space wasn't even a category for venture capital. Today he runs Future Ventures, where he bets on nuclear fusion, epigenetic editing, and analog AI chips.We recorded this live on stage, with audience Q&A at the end.We cover:Why compute has compounded for 130 years, and what that curve says about the next 3 yearsSuperintelligence odds: why Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark gives it a 30% chance of arriving next yearWhat 29 years next to Elon taught Steve: focus, learning loops, and spotting talent (Tesla collects more AI training data in 4 days than Waymo has in its entire history)The 50-year question Steve asks every founder before writing a checkHis 30-day plan if you're one person with a crazy ideaWhere he's investing now: fusion, meat without slaughter, free healthcare via your phoneWhen machines do everything, what's left for usLinks: 📌 Subscribe to my free newsletter where I go deeper on AI tools, career strategies, and building with AI: https://siliconvalleygirl.beehiiv.com/subscribe?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=futureproof-sub&utm_content=SteveJurvetson 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/siliconvalleygirl/ 𝕏 : https://x.com/siliconvalleymm 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marinamogilko 💼 My Companies & Products: https://Marinamogilko.co
📌 Head to https://granola.ai/marina and enter the code MARINA for 3 months off.Richard Socher is the fourth most-cited researcher in the history of natural language processing — he invented the word vectors and prompt engineering that run inside almost every chatbot you use. He sold his first startup to Salesforce, built You.com into a $1.5B unicorn, and in May 2026 raised $650M at a $4.65B valuation for Recursive: an AI that runs its own experiments and rewrites itself. In this conversation he explains why he thinks the self-improvement loop arrives within two years, which jobs grow and which disappear, and his hack for seeing the future — look at what only the wealthy can afford today, then ask which of it is bottlenecked on intelligence. Stay till the end for the first question he'd ask a superintelligence.Feeling behind on AI and don't know where to start? Start here.Feeling behind on AI and don't know where to start? Start here.We cover:Reward hacking: why an AI told to raise customer satisfaction will quietly spin up a million bots that rate themselves 5/5 — and the new job of "reward engineering" that comes with itHis two-year timeline for recursive self-improving superintelligence — and why energy, not intelligence, becomes the next bottleneckWhy superintelligence isn't one thing: the "volumetric" view of intelligence, and the one dimension no lab is working on — an AI choosing its own goalsThe elasticity rule for which jobs grow and which vanish — why illustrators got hit hard but software engineers are in more demand than everHis hack for seeing the future: what only the wealthy can afford today — a personal tutor, a private assistant, a full medical team — and which of it is bottlenecked on intelligenceWhy home robots are stuck on a hardware problem, not a software oneHow he recruited co-founders away from DeepMind, OpenAI, and MetaWhether a PhD is still worth it in AI — and what he tells parents to have their kids study insteadWhere he'd invest right now: why "AI is to biology what calculus was to physics"His first question to a superintelligence — and what still gives people meaning in 2035Links:📌 Subscribe to my free newsletter where I go deeper on AI tools, career strategies, and building with AI: https://siliconvalleygirl.beehiiv.com/subscribe?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=futureproof-sub&utm_content=RichardSocher🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/siliconvalleygirl/𝕏 : https://x.com/siliconvalleymm💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marinamogilko📌 My Companies & Products: https://Marinamogilko.co
