Welcome to Ticker Symbol: YOU - The Podcast That Invests in You

This is Ticker Symbol YOU, a podcast focused on highlighting advanced technologies that are transforming our lives and disrupting their competitors in the process.My name is Alex and I'm definitely not a financial advisor. I'm just a nerd that loves sharing my personal vision of the future and putting my money where my mouth is. Let's start with this.The average artificial intelligence model, like the ones we use when we're on Google, YouTube, or TikTok, is growing in size by about 1000% per year.There were 800 million mobile devices in the world in 2012, which sounds like a lot. But there are over 10 billion of them today and that number is rapidly growing.Battery technology is getting so good and so cheap, electric vehicles could soon outperform gas powered ones in every category while being cheaper to buy and to maintain.It's probably obvious that trends like these will dramatically change the way we work, the way we play, the way we travel, and the companies we can invest in over the next decade.But what may NOT be so obvious is what will happen when we start combining these trends to hail driverless robotaxis instead of ubers, get mail from aerial drones instead of the mail man, and commute to work by throwing on some virtual reality goggles.Throw in some 3D printers, add in some solar panels, and tie them to a few of SpaceX's reusable rockets, and things can get pretty wild.That's the vision of the future I'm here to share each week. I hope you join me.To learn more or get in touch, you can also find me on www.youtube.com/tickersymbolyou and www.tickersymbolyou.comSupport the Show.
