Two years. That's how long Evyatar David has been held in captivity, far from his family, his friends, and the music of his life. On this special episode of Some Future Day, we retrace the hours that changed everything, the search that hasn't stopped, and the quiet heroism of a family carrying hope through darkness.I had the honor of speaking with Evyatar's brother, Ilay David, who refuses to let the world look away. Ilay has turned the world upside down to rescue his beloved brother. But what have the United Nations, Red Cross, Bibi Netanyahu, and President Trump done to rescue the hostages? And why does it seem like President Trump has done the most for the hostages?On this two-year mark of his captivity, we remember the person. Not just the politics. Not just the headlines. Not just the antisemitism. And we explore what justice, compassion, and action look like now for Evyatar and for every hostage still waiting.Episode Links:Ilay on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ilayd97/Ilay on LinkedIn: https://il.linkedin.com/in/ilay-david-a09183258Website: https://bringevyatarhome.com/Bring Evyatar Home Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bring_evyatar_homeOrder Marc's new book, "Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything"Sign up for the Some Future Day Newsletter here: https://marcbeckman.substack.com/To join the conversation, follow Marc Beckman here: YoutubeLinkedInTwitterInstagramTikTok
The global biotech industry is worth more than $1.8 trillion, but behind that number is something more powerful: the ability to save lives. And no one understands that better than today's guest, Dr. Peter Kash.Over his 37-year career, Dr. Kash has helped bring seven FDA-approved drugs to market, including an important pediatric leukemia drug. He's raised billions in biotech capital, co-founded more than a dozen companies, and helped push cancer treatments from idea into execution.Peter Kash is chasing cures. He's fighting for kids with brain cancer. He's accelerating AI-driven therapies for glioblastoma, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's. And he believes that within eight years, solid tumor cancers like breast, prostate, and colorectal could have survival rates near 80%, just like today's blood cancers.In a world of politics and profit, Peter is building something deeper: a global alliance of scientists, doctors, and entrepreneurs working together to outsmart disease.So, if you care about medicine, humanity, or what the future could look like, this episode is your wake-up call. Because biotech isn't just about innovation. It's about the mother with ovarian cancer, the child with leukemia, the father battling Parkinson's. Peter, thank you for joining me on this episode of Some Future Day.Episode Links:Peter on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-kash-a8736b14Books by Dr. Peter Kash: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B01DH0AOY6Peter's TedTalk: https://www.ted.com/talks/peter_kash_entrepreneurship_in_the_age_of_millennials/up-next"Tatami" Official Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHdzSTFslbIOrder Marc's new book, "Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything"Sign up for the Some Future Day Newsletter here: https://marcbeckman.substack.com/To join the conversation, follow Marc Beckman here: YoutubeLinkedInTwitterInstagramTikTok
On this episode of Some Future Day, we crack open the playbook for financial freedom with one of America's most prolific entrepreneurs, Andrew Cartwright. From being cut off by his father at just 12 years old, to building 32 companies across 17 industries and managing 86 streams of income, Andrew's journey is anything but ordinary! He has flipped businesses, invested in blockchain, put gold on the blockchain ledger, and even built a personal brand that empowers millions online. But here's the kicker: he's not selling hype. Andrew is showing you how to buy your first business using SBA loans, how to generate passive income through print-on-demand stores, and how to build a white label supplement brand in under 10 minutes.From margin and manufacturing to personal branding and Web3, Andrew Cartwright drops tactical advice you can act on today. If you've ever felt like financial freedom was out of reach, if you've been looking for a roadmap, a mentor, or just a spark, this episode is your blueprint! This isn't about a get-rich-quick scheme. It's about real tools, real talk, and really taking action. Because on Some Future Day, wealth doesn't just happen. It's built. And that future can start right now.Episode Links:Website: https://andrewcartwright.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@andrewcartwrightInVideo: https://invideo.io/Print On Demand: https://www.printful.com/Supplement White-labeling: https://supliful.com/Order Marc's new book, "Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything"Sign up for the Some Future Day Newsletter here: https://marcbeckman.substack.com/To join the conversation, follow Marc Beckman here: YoutubeLinkedInTwitterInstagramTikTok
On this episode of Some Future Day, we're taking to the skies. Literally! Drones are everywhere. From warfare to weddings, surveillance to Amazon deliveries, these flying machines are reshaping our world faster than most people realize. But behind the sleek designs and impressive tech lies a truth that's far more complex, and in some cases, dangerous.In this eye-opening episode, we break down ten facts about drones that everyone needs to know. You'll learn how drones have quietly become a $60 billion industry, why they're central to modern warfare, how law enforcement is using them for surveillance, and how your privacy may already be compromised. We uncover the surprising role drones play in agriculture and climate research, and why AI-powered swarms are no longer science fiction, but battlefield reality. This isn't just about cool tech. It's about ethics, safety, regulation, and the future of personal freedom.Whether you're an enthusiast, a skeptic, or just drone curious, these ten facts will change the way you see the world above you. This is some Future Day. And the future? It's flying right over your head.Episode Links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aviv-shapira/?originalSubdomain=ilXTEND: https://www.xtend.me/Order Marc's new book, "Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything"Sign up for the Some Future Day Newsletter here: https://marcbeckman.substack.com/To join the conversation, follow Marc Beckman here: YoutubeLinkedInTwitterInstagramTikTok
 ”For the first time in history - less than a decade ago - chronic diseases started killing us more than famine, pestilence, bacteria, viruses, all those things combined.” Yet, despite the suffering of millions, innovation is being strangled by a broken pharmaceutical system where red tape, corporate greed, and bureaucratic middlemen leave patients behind.But what if there's another way? My guest, biotech entrepreneur and humanitarian Lou Reese, believes there is. And he's not just dreaming. Lou is building it. In this conversation, Lou reveals a radical new model for drug development and delivery, one that bypasses Big Pharma, puts patients first, and could bring breakthrough treatments to market faster and at a fraction of the cost.Together, we unpack how Parkinson's patients, just like those with Alzheimer's, are being failed by a system that prioritizes profit over access. And we explore how a bold America First Pharma plan might change that forever.This is a call to action! Because if we don't fight for innovation now, we'll be trapped in the same failing system tomorrow. This is Some Future Day. And that future starts now.Episode Links: Lou on X: https://x.com/NotLouReeseOrder Marc's new book, "Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything"Sign up for the Some Future Day Newsletter here: https://marcbeckman.substack.com/To join the conversation, follow Marc Beckman here: YoutubeLinkedInTwitterInstagramTikTok
Welcome to Some Future Day. I'm Marc Beckman and today we're diving deep into the future of artificial intelligence with a visionary entrepreneur who's taking on one of AI's most pressing challenges: bias and racism. John Pasmore, founder and CEO of Latimer, recognized early on that unchecked biases embedded in AI could profoundly affect future generations. Inspired by the realization that his son and millions of others would interact with AI filled with implicit racial biases, John took decisive action to tackle these deep-rooted issues by providing training data that genuinely represents diverse perspectives. In today's conversation, we dive into why Latimer's unique approach - leveraging historical archives, textbooks, and dissertations from black and other overlooked cultures - is essential for an equitable digital future. Stay with us as we discuss the implications of biased AI, the ongoing fight for accurate representation in technology, and how each of us can help shape a fairer, more inclusive future, right here on Some Future Day.Episode Links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jpasmoreInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jpasmore/Latimer: https://www.latimer.ai/Order Marc's new book, "Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything"Sign up for the Some Future Day Newsletter here: https://marcbeckman.substack.com/To join the conversation, follow Marc Beckman here: YoutubeLinkedInTwitterInstagramTikTok
Antisemitism isn't just rising in America, it's exploding. And while our institutions hesitate, the attacks are getting louder, deadlier, and more brazen. Just this spring, during Passover, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's home was targeted in an arson attack while he and his family were asleep inside. Soon thereafter, a young Jewish couple was murdered in cold blood in Washington, D.C. Their only crime? Being Jewish.And in Boulder, Colorado, an Egyptian national terrorist launched a brutal assault using Molotov cocktails and a flamethrower on a group of Jewish people who were peacefully assembled to support the Israeli hostages. The attack injured an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor, plus 11 other individuals.The question is no longer whether antisemitism exists. The question is: Why is America tolerating it? On today's episode of Some Future Day, I sit down with Robert Spencer, scholar, historian, and author of the new book “Antisemitism: History and Myth.” Together we trace the ancient roots of Jew hatred, explore how Islamic extremism and Western academia are feeding the flames, and confront the role social media and influencers are playing in amplifying the world's oldest hatred. This conversation is raw, necessary, and deeply unsettling. But it's one we can't avoid. If we stay silent now, the future of Jews in America could mirror the darkest chapters of our past.Episode Links:Website: https://jihadwatch.org/X: https://x.com/jihadwatchRSInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jihadwatch.robertspencer/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JihadWatchVideo"Antisemitism: History and Myth" by Robert Spencer: https://a.co/d/12lfxyEOrder Marc's new book, "Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything"Sign up for the Some Future Day Newsletter here: https://marcbeckman.substack.com/To join the conversation, follow Marc Beckman here: YoutubeLinkedInTwitterInstagramTikTok
Today we expose the brutal truth about Vladimir Putin, Russia, and Ukraine. My guest is Ambassador Georgette Mosbacher, former US ambassador to Poland and one of the few people alive who has seen how deep Russia's propaganda war really goes. She reveals how Putin didn't just invade Ukraine with soldiers, he invaded with disinformation, AI and psychological warfare, and we let him. We talk about American weakness, European cowardice, and why the Biden administration gave Ukraine just enough to survive, but never enough to win.Ambassador Mosbacher doesn't hold back. She says if she had been negotiating with Putin, she would've bombed Moscow, and then called to say, “Don't take it personally, Vladimir!”She says America has been asleep while our enemies build influence campaigns, turn social media into weapons, and use artificial intelligence to destabilize democracies. We dig into the lies, the missed opportunities, and the question no one in power can answer: What does winning even look like? This episode is not comfortable, it's not polite, and it is urgent. Ambassador Mosbacher, you're a good friend. I appreciate you coming on Some Future Day.

This week on Some Future Day, I had the honor of sitting down with two absolute legends: Lil Eazy-E, the son of iconic Eazy-E, and the one and only DJ Yella of N.W.A. We talked about the origins of hip hop: the real, raw, revolutionary movement that changed American culture and the world. How N.W.A. became a voice for the streets when no one else would listen. How music at one point carried the soul of the people and how much of that soul has gone missing. Today, Yella told me flat out, music's gotten fake. Artificial. AI is writing lyrics, mixing beats, and erasing the human experience. But Lil Eazy-E had a different take. What if he could use AI to bring back his father's voice? Not to fake the legacy, but to honor it. We explored that thin line between innovation and exploitation and asked, can AI ever replace authenticity or is something irreplaceable lost when machines take the mic? We didn't stop there. We talked about politics, race, legacy, and the need for respect between generations. We talked about the launch of their new Hip Hop Hot Sauce, international tours, and what it means to be from Compton and to make it out.This episode isn't just about music. It's about the future of culture, technology, storytelling, and soul.

What if I told you that the next school shooting is already being planned right now? That the killer is broadcasting his intentions on social media and no one is stopping it? This week I sat down with Zeev Fragachan, a former IDF officer, school security expert, and fierce advocate for protecting America's children, to ask the questions that nobody wants to answer. But we must. Why has the United States experienced over 2,000 school shootings since Columbine, while countries like Israel report zero? Are social media platforms fueling school shooters, or could they be our best chance to stop them?Zeev breaks down the psychological profile of a school shooter. It's not always mental illness. It's something more dangerous. We dive into what happened in Uvalde, Parkland, and the chilling failures of law enforcement, but we don't stop there. We go global to the rise of terrorism, 3D-printed guns, digital radicalization inside Roblox and Minecraft, and even Kanye's anti-Semitic lyrics infecting America's youth.This is a call to arms for parents, lawmakers, and every adult in America, because the next future day could be one we never recover from.

What if I told you the next generation isn't watching, they're playing? On this episode of Some Future Day, I sit down with Matt Edelman, the newly named CEO of Super League, a company connecting brands with over a billion gamers across Roblox, Fortnite, and Minecraft. We're not talking about ads; we're talking about worlds. Branded quests. Digital sneakers. In-game burrito giveaways that break mobile app records. This is marketing like you've never seen before! Matt shares how Gen Z is spending more time gaming than on YouTube and TikTok combined, and how brands are finally waking up to it.  We get into the big stats - $50 billion in gaming and revenue; 3.3 billion players globally. And how a teenage girl created a hit game that rivals fashion runways in Roblox. I know: my daughter and her friends are totally addicted! Why should brands risk leaving the safety of TikTok or YouTube? We even talk about AI, mobile gaming, and the missed opportunity fashion brands are facing right now by not jumping into this space. If you want to understand where marketing, gaming, and digital culture are headed, this is the episode that you cannot miss!

Cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence will represent the largest U.S. growth sectors percentagewise over the next five years. Anchorage Digital Bank is the first and only U.S.-based, federally chartered bank, specializing in cryptocurrency and digital asset custody and financial services. Anchorage is legally permitted to operate nationwide, adhering to federal regulations rather than state level regulations, enhancing trust and legitimacy. Its services include custody, trading, staking, lending, and borrowing.I first met Anchorage's genius founder, Nathan McCauley, at the White House Cryptocurrency Summit, and we quickly hit it off. Mr. McCauley's company has backing from well-known venture capital firms and investors, including Andreesen Horowitz, Goldman Sachs, and Visa. And although the company was hit by Biden's Choke Point 2.0 - effectively being debanked - Anchorage is back on its feet, and in fact, it is roaring.Nathan, thank you for sharing your personal founder’s story with me.

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.

Imagine a world where terrorists leverage social media, not merely as a tool for propaganda, but as a sophisticated weapon of influence, crafting messages that penetrate deeply into society, captivating minds and shaping global opinion. This isn't fiction. It's the chilling reality unfolding around us.Today, on Some Future Day, we dive deep into the hidden corridors of terror’s digital transformation with our guest, Erez Zborowski, an expert who has walked directly in the shadowy interactions of journalism, security, and intelligence.Erez began his career with a profound lesson on the cost of truth, inspired by the tragic story of journalist James Foley. His path led him from classrooms of journalism to the volatile streets of Israel, Africa, and the Middle East, operating as a fixer, a crucial role that placed him face to face with terrorist groups and gave him unique insights into their evolving strategies.That's right. A fixer. With firsthand experience, Erez witnessed how groups like ISIS revolutionized the concept of soft power, turning heinous acts into viral content designed to recruit sympathizers worldwide.In this eye-opening conversation, we'll uncover the alarming ways terrorist organizations use social media, gaming platforms, and encrypted apps to spread their message, recruit globally, and hide in plain sight.  We'll discuss the chilling role AI might play both as a threat and, potentially, a defense against this rising digital menace. Prepare yourself because this discussion with Erez will forever alter how you perceive the digital spaces we navigate every day. The future is already here, and it's more complex and more perilous than most of us realize.Erez, thank you for joining me on this episode of Some Future Day.Order Marc's new book, "Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything"Sign up for the Some Future Day Newsletter here: https://marcbeckman.substack.com/Episode Links:Erez on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erez-zborowski-470977288/To join the conversation, follow Marc Beckman here: YoutubeLinkedInTwitterInstagramTikTok
In a nation scarred by years of civil war, the rapid collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime in December 2024 marked a pivotal turning point. The Islamist terrorist group, HTS - once linked to Al-Qaeda - led a swift eleven-day offensive that toppled the government seizing key cities, including Damascus.However, this power shift unleashed a wave of sectarian violence with reports indicating that over 1,000 people have been killed in recent clashes, predominantly from the Alawite minority. Christian communities, too, face heightened threats under the new liberated Syria, with incidents of violence and kidnapping causing widespread fear.As HTS consolidates its control, the nation teeters on the brink with international observers expressing deep concern over the escalating humanitarian crisis and the uncertain future of Syria. Independent journalist Collin Mayfield was in Lebanon with Hezbollah when he learned of the Assad regime's collapse. Collin grabbed his gear and crossed into Syria just as HTS seized control.Mr. Mayfield witnessed and recorded Syria during these initial chaotic days. He visited the Damascus Public Hospital and saw corpses with evidence of severe torture, presumably recovered from Sednaya Prison. He encountered survivors from Sednaya Prison at the Ibn Sina Psychiatric Hospital who were severely traumatized. And of course, he visited Sednaya Prison, notoriously known as the “human slaughterhouse,” where he encountered evidence of extensive torture, extreme abuse, and female birth control pills. Collin even documented the Far’ Falastin Prison, notorious for sexual violence against women.Collin, thank you for taking the time to share your far-ranging Syrian experience, from Captagon drug factories to encounters with ISIS and HTS Militia at Assad's Presidential Palace.
