In this episode with Brett Hurt, serial tech entrepreneur and author of Love Conquers Fear, you'll hear how he went from coding obsessively at seven to building one of the early internet's most popular games, surviving the dot-com bust, orchestrating two major exits, data.world to ServiceNow and Bazaarvoice's billion-dollar IPO, and experiencing a psychedelic awakening at 50 that redirected his entire life.

You will also hear his vision for what an Age of Abundance looks like in practice, from solar energy and robotics to brain-computer interfaces and the role AI might play in solving problems like clean water, food security, and healthcare access in places like Chad, and why Brett believes the single most important variable in whether AI helps or hurts humanity is whether the people building it are operating from love or from fear.

Brett Hurt is a tech entrepreneur and investor. He co-founded and led data.world, acquired by ServiceNow in July 2025, and previously co-founded Bazaarvoice and Coremetrics, acquired by IBM. Through his Love Conquers Fear holding company and podcast, he explores how AI and emerging technologies can either amplify fear or help create broad-based human flourishing.

Pick up a copy of Love Conquers Fear to discover how Brett crosses the streams of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge technology, rewiring humanity's relationship with AI, quantum computing, and emerging tech to move us from scarcity to abundance.
