What if the most urgent call for leadership wasn’t coming from a boardroom, but from a 15-year-old? In this electrifying conversation, neurobiology expert Rajkumari Neogy sits down with Judah Hansen, the teenage founder of The People’s Internet, to explore what it means to protect openness, equity, and access in the digital age.
Judah argues that the internet is still a new frontier—one that must remain open, transparent, and inclusive if we want technology to serve humanity rather than control it. Together, they unpack why open source innovation matters for trust, how artificial scarcity fuels inequality, and what leaders must learn from young voices who see clearly where we’re headed.
They go well beyond code, covering leadership, responsibility, and the courage to build systems that empower rather than exploit. From Adobe and Google to OpenAI, Judah challenges today’s giants and calls on tomorrow’s leaders to rethink power, transparency, and belonging in technology.
Tune in to discover:
• How open source can support equity and innovation even in a capitalistic paradigm
• How privatization creates artificial scarcity online
• Trust, transparency, and what servant leadership looks like
• The #1 thing to keep in mind in guiding the future of AI
• What Judah would say to Sam Altman about OpenAI’s direction
This conversation will expand how you think about leadership in a digital era where the stakes couldn’t be higher.
