About this listen

Singularity Surfers

We, Patrick and Aragorn, supported by our Innovation Network Community of experts, track the exponential shifts reshaping civilization over the next 10-15 years.

We cover AI evolution, humanoid robotics, economic transformation, human augmentation, longevity breakthroughs, and system-level changes most analyses completely miss.

We turn this into a Weekly Newsletter and a Podcast every other week.
We know how hard it is to keep up with everything, so we want to be something you look forward to, not another chore on your plate.

This isn't about hype cycles or quarterly earnings. We analyze where technology is actually heading through historical patterns, scientific research, and signals hiding in plain sight. What's coming. What it means. What to do.

Our listeners include founders, CEOs, and leaders building companies for the world that's emerging—not the one that's ending. This podcast is for you if you'd rather see the wave coming than pretend it isn't there.

It's not for you if you're comfortable believing AI is overhyped, robots are decades away, and capitalism is eternal.

We're optimists who do the math. We see the liberation, not just the disruption. And we're here to help you navigate the biggest transformation in human history.

Subscribe wherever you listen. New episodes drop every other week.
