This week we sit down with a guest whose life reads like a movie script—but every bit of it is real. Raeed Hosny went from being a beloved child star in Egypt, portraying cultural icons on screen, to holding top-secret clearance and serving on some of the most high-stakes intelligence missions of the modern era.

Raeed takes us on a wild journey—from growing up on film sets in the 60s and 70s to interrogating terrorists, locating weapons caches, and working with the CIA, DIA, and Air Force Intelligence in Iraq and the Middle East. Along the way, he shares raw stories of resilience, trust, and the razor’s edge reality of counterintelligence work—including time under the command of Col. Mark Milley before he became Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

At the same time, Raeed’s warmth, humor, and perspective shine through. We get into aliens (of course), food, film, and a few rapid-fire questions that reveal just how multifaceted his story really is. We even throw in who he thinks should play him in the movie of his life.

This is one of our most cinematic and unforgettable conversations yet—spanning pop culture, geopolitics, and a touch of espionage. Buckle up.

What do Pokémon cards, AI assistants, and the future of the creator economy have in common? This episode.

We’re joined by Jim Louderback, one of the true pioneers of digital media. From his TechTV days to scaling Revision3 into a digital powerhouse and taking VidCon global, Jim has spent his career at the forefront of where media and technology collide. Now he takes us inside his must-read newsletter Inside the Creator Economy, pulling back the curtain on social media algorithms, the platforms shaping our world, and why creators haven’t just “arrived”—they’re running the show. On top of that, he breaks down the next wave of innovation, including Amazon’s new AI device The Bee (think personal assistant on steroids) and where all this tech is headed.

And because it’s Go With Your Palate, we don’t just stick to tech—we wander into Pokémon tangents, wine wax-dipping, and even bring our social media manager Sabina into the mix.

Fast, fun, and full of insight—this one’s a ride through the past, present, and future of media with one of the sharpest voices in the game.
