I'm thrilled to welcome the brilliant Bill Walton to Some Future Day. Together we're diving into the heart of today's hottest economic issues, from explosive tariff wars to the AI revolution that's reshaping everything we know.
You've probably heard plenty of chatter about tariffs, but did you know America's exports to Canada and Mexico make up just 2.3% of our GDP, yet we account for over 31% of Mexico's GDP and nearly 20% of Canada's? Bill Walton reveals why this imbalance gives America enormous leverage and how Trump-era policies might reshape global trade wars in ways you haven't imagined.
We also get deep into how artificial intelligence and automation are shaking up job markets and innovation. Bill predicts massive shifts in white collar professions, shares why new tech breakthroughs in AI and crypto will trigger a fresh wave of job creation, and offers his surprising take on who wins and who loses in this brave new economy.
This conversation is a roadmap to understanding America's future. Bill, thank you for joining me on this episode of Some Future Day.
