THE GRANT WILLIAMS PODCAST: John ELLIs

Joining me on this episode of The Grant Williams Podcast is John Ellis, the founder and editor of News Items and Political News Items.

During his career, John has worked with NBC News as a political analyst, The Boston Globe as a columnist, Business Insider as political editor, and News Corp, where he worked on special projects for Rupert Murdoch.

In 2016, John launched News Items, which became The Wall Street Journal CEO Council’s morning newsletter. Subsequently John relaunched News Items as an independent newsletter in 2019 and his articles have been published in Fast Company, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and Real Clear Politics.

In this fascinating conversation, John and I discuss Code Inequality and the dangers it poses to society as well as the implications for governments as the rise of AI continues. We also discuss the lack of understanding in mainstream media about the level of threat posed by the financialization of everything.
