Return On Insights: A discussion with Tim Kapp on AI as an Economic Force

YouTube • Published April 1, 2026

Had a fantastic conversation with David Lindover on the Return on Insights podcast — and I'm genuinely grateful he gave me the space to go deep on a few of the topics I care most about. We covered:

→ Why routine knowledge work is being devalued faster than most people realize (I call it "knowledge inflation")

→ How to build a personal AI strategy around what actually becomes scarce — trust, creativity, and AI fluency

→ The national security risks we need to talk more about: infrastructure, rare earth supply chains, and energy capacity

→ Why the growing socioeconomic divide from uneven AI adoption might be the most important story no one is telling

→ What multi-agent AI systems mean for how work — and commerce — actually gets done

This wasn't a hype conversation. David pushed me to be direct and practical, and I think we landed somewhere useful.

If you're thinking about where AI is taking your career, your organization, or your country — this one's worth 30 minutes.
