Global influence, monetization power, and cultural reach. Are you one of the millions of Americans trying to crack the creator code? Do you dream of being the next Mr. Beast, heir to the YouTube throne?

On this week's Some Future Day, I sit down with Bloomberg's Aisha Counts, one of the sharpest minds covering the $500 billion Creator Economy, from Mr. Beast's chocolate empire to Ben Stiller's healthy soda venture, and even Dave Portnoy's surprising offer from the United States Department of Commerce.

Aisha says today's creators aren't just creating content. They're building brands and they're reinventing Hollywood. We go deep on deepfakes, AI clones, and why Joe Rogan and Minecraft might be the future of global news and entertainment. The entire ecosystem is evolving.

Aisha, thank you so much for joining me on this awesome episode - the Creator Episode - of Some Future Day.

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. Your professional and personal worlds are truly inspirational. It was a pleasure having you on this episode of Some Future Day.

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.
