## Resource

What if the biggest problems we face - climate change, AI, even war - have no nationality? We sat down with Jen Zhu Scott : investor, entrepreneur, mom, and the visionary behind PowerDynamics.ai . Named one of Forbes’ Top Women in Tech , Jen has advised HBO’s Silicon Valley , spoken on the TED stage, and now she’s building containerized compute and energy infrastructure to decentralize power—both literally and figuratively. But this episode goes much deeper than tech. We talk about: * Growing up in West China and catching a “lucky break” in Shenzhen * Why younger generations “lying flat” may be more evolved than we think * What it means to raise grounded kids in an AI-driven world * How Taoism helps her navigate leadership, parenting, and uncertainty * Why the West keeps getting surprised by China—and what that reveals And she drops one line we’ll never forget: “The biggest problems in the world aren’t American, Chinese, or German. They’re human.” If you care about the future - yours, your kids’, or the planet’s - this one’s worth your time. As always, thank you for being part of this curious and freedom-seeking tribe.
