Immigration status shouldn’t depend on a paperwork nightmare.

But for many immigrants, navigating the US immigration system means months of uncertainty, complicated filings, and life-changing consequences when something goes wrong.

@Aizada - CEO & founder of @AlmaImmigration - knows this firsthand. After experiencing the system’s challenges herself, she founded Alma to transform how immigration legal services are delivered.

Aizada joins me on the pod to discuss how Alma combines AI, technology, and experienced attorneys to make immigration law more efficient, transparent, and predictable.

We explore:
→ Why AI could make legal services more human
→ Where AI will - and won’t - disrupt the legal industry
→ How companies are rethinking immigration as they compete for talent
→ Why skilled immigration matters to America’s innovation economy

Special thank you to Aizada for joining the pod and to Alma for all of the amazing work they’re doing.

It’s unlikely that any single human has the full story, yet almost all of us are confident that we know the truth.

Maybe we will soon be able to leverage AI to speak commands to a few animals in their native language.

What if we are just the origin story of super intelligence?

[Mark Peter Davis @mpd]

We have exited the information age and entered the age of intelligence.

AI + Compute + Brain Computer Interface = Human Super Intelligence

I think this is one of the best interviews I have given in a long time.

Today we're launching Ivy, the AI operator for family offices and investment firms.

She holds the firm's memory, works like a team member, and gets things done before you ask.

Relief uses agents to manage past-due debt for consumers. It has direct relationships with debt buyers and collectors, partners with the largest debt companies in the world, and connects users with partnered law firms when needed. The average user saves more than 50% of their balance.

.@SECWAR “Today, at my direction—we are announcing the creation of Autonomous Warfare Command, or AutoWarCom:

A new 4-star combatant command—with service-like authorities—built to scale autonomous and robotic capabilities across the Joint Force in the fastest peacetime shift in modern military history."

I'm pretty excited about what Leon is building with https://t.co/ZDmU8dYxKQ. It's been a game changer for our firm - a measurable 50% increase in team productivity.

Leon is layering in the missing pieces of the AI stack for investment firms - security, control of data, a fully integrated platform for the firm.

@MorellCarson @interplay It goes past my bedtime, but we're hosting it at our office.

[Mark Peter Davis @mpd]

I have raised my hand to help the Post Exit Founder chapter in NYC plan some events.

We hosted some of the members at the @Interplay office for lunch. A pic below.

The group is jam-packed with people that can be driving change and improving society. I think what really motivated me to volunteer was the hope that we could get a few more ex-founders back in the fray driving change.

If you’ve got ideas on how to leverage this community. Ping me.

Doing a speaking role at a @sydecario investor event today.

There’s a great community of people coming together to provide liquidity into the venture market.

I believe that the private markets are going to increasingly fill the void created by the lack of access to the IPO market. There’s a parallel here to the LBO market where firms trade amongst themselves to unlock capital.

Theory - more liquidity is coming.
