Ep. 078 Greg Kahn - CEO and Angel Investor

In this conversation, Greg and Thomas explore how core values are formed, cultivated, and tested over time — especially as careers evolve, technology accelerates, and the world becomes more interconnected. From growing up in New Jersey to studying and working across France, Los Angeles, and global tech ecosystems, Greg reflects on how education, community, integrity, and curiosity shaped his journey across media, advertising, and deep technology.

The discussion moves beyond résumés and titles into questions that feel increasingly urgent:

How do we embrace rapid change without losing who we are?

What does it mean to remain human-first in an age of AI?

And why does progress depend less on technology itself and more on bringing the right people together around shared purpose?

This is a thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation about values as anchors — not constraints — and why meaningful progress still begins with trust, curiosity, and connection.

This episode explores:

• How core values are formed early in life — and refined through awareness and experience

• The role of education, community, integrity, and work ethic in shaping long-term direction

• The impact of global exposure on perspective, empathy, and leadership

• Navigating non-linear careers across media, advertising, and deep technology

• Curiosity as a driving force behind innovation and career pivots

• The responsibility that comes with emerging technologies like AI

• Why progress happens when trusted people collaborate with purpose

• Holding fast to values while embracing constant change
