EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Pivot, featuring Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway, Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway's 2025 Predictions on AI, IPOs, Podcasts, and Trump | Pivot explores aI Rails, Political Podcasts, Nuclear Power, and Trump’s Aging Presidency Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway share their 2025 predictions, spanning politics, AI, media, finance, and culture. Swisher argues that Donald Trump’s age and lame-duck status may temper his behavior, and that under-the-radar enterprise players will be the biggest AI winners, much like infrastructure firms in the early internet. Galloway predicts an AI duopoly between OpenAI and NVIDIA, a boom in AI-driven consumer applications (especially in health and travel), and a breakout year for podcasts fueled by political ad spending. He also forecasts Shein as IPO of the year, nuclear as technology of the year, testosterone/masculinity as the cultural “substance” of the year, and record private-equity megadeals targeting companies like Target and Intel.
