The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway

Alice Han and James Kynge dig into why Apple is lobbying the Trump administration for permission to buy memory chips from a Chinese company on the Pentagon's military blacklist. With DRAM prices up nearly 100% in a single quarter — analysts are calling it "RAMageddon" — Apple already raised MacBook and iPad prices by up to 20%, and iPhones could be next. How far will Apple go to secure its supply chain, and what does it mean if Washington says yes?

They also break down DeepSeek's landmark $7.4 billion funding round, which is the first time the Chinese AI startup has ever taken outside money. Tencent, CATL, and China's state-backed National AI Investment Fund are among the backers, and the valuation has jumped six-fold in six weeks to nearly $59 billion. DeepSeek built its reputation on doing more with less — so why does it need the money now?

And finally: a new sign that China's middle class is changing what it puts on the table. The Economist calls it the "Californication" of Chinese diets: a growing appetite for organic, health-conscious food.

Scott Galloway speaks with Financial Times columnist and chief data reporter John Burn-Murdoch to unpack the forces reshaping modern life. They discuss why birth rates are collapsing, why fewer young people are forming relationships, and how housing costs, social media, and remote work are changing the path to adulthood.

They also explore financial nihilism, the growing divide between young men and women, the impact of AI on work, and what it will take to rebuild connection, purpose, and opportunity for the next generation.

Follow John, @jburnmurdoch.
