The Week: The Hidden Debt Behind the AI Boom

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway

Support for the show comes from MongoDB. AI-assisted and agentic coding is helping you build faster than ever. But if your data layer is a bottleneck, what's the point? Instead of wrestling with rigid schemas or translating data formats, MongoDB's native data model mirrors the language LLMs already speak. It ships at the speed of AI, is ACID compliant, and scales to handle massive Fortune 500 workloads. Ask any developer. It's a great database.

Start building a MongoDB.com slash AI. Life is full of inevitable, unpleasant experiences. But thanks to modern medicine, perimenopause doesn't have to be one of them.

There is still this idea that we have to suffer through it. And I am here to say to anyone listening that suffering not only is unnecessary, there's no metal at the end, but it will derail your health. This week on Explain It To Me, how to navigate the change before the change. Find new episodes Sundays wherever you get your podcasts. Can Europe defend itself without America? And what is Ukraine's path to victory? I'm John Feiner.

And I'm Jake Sullivan. And we're the hosts of The Long Game, a weekly national security podcast. This week, Polish Deputy Prime Minister Radek Sikorski joins the show to break down the shifting transatlantic alliance and what comes next in Ukraine. China, unlike us, actually could force Russia to end the war. But my guess is that the war suits China just fine. The episode's out now. Search for and follow The Long Game wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to the week from Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway, where we break down what mattered and what it all means. I'm George Han, and it's Friday, July 31st.
