In a world where algorithms amplify outrage and newsfeeds reward noise, 1440 Media has quietly built something radical — a daily newsletter that promises “all your news, none of the bias.”

This week on FUTUREPROOF., Jeremy Goldman talks with Tim Huelskamp, CEO and cofounder of 1440, about how a 15-person team grew to reach over 4 million subscribers without chasing clicks, outrage, or political extremes.

Tim shares what he’s learned about:
- How 1440 found “white space” in a crowded media market
- Why being unbiased is both a superpower and a branding challenge
- How 1440’s ad model bucks media’s obsession with vanity metrics
- Why curiosity—not content—is the new currency for growth
- And what The Free Press sale reveals about the shifting trust economy

If you’re tired of doomscrolling and looking for what’s next in digital publishing, this conversation offers a blueprint for rebuilding trust, curiosity, and connection—one inbox at a time.

As AI reshapes the world faster than most of us can process, we’re left with an uncomfortable question: What does it really mean to be human now?

This week on FUTUREPROOF., Jeremy sits down with Jeff Burningham — tech entrepreneur, investor, and author of The Last Book Written by a Human — to explore how we can cultivate wisdom, purpose, and empathy in an age obsessed with speed, scale, and artificial intelligence.

Jeff’s story is as surprising as it is inspiring: from Mormon missionary to real estate mogul, from political candidate to spiritual seeker. After years of building billion-dollar companies, he found himself confronting a deeper question — not how to make more, but how to matter more.

In this episode, Jeff and Jeremy discuss:

• Why becoming wiser, not just smarter, is the next competitive advantage
• How technology mirrors our consciousness — including our biases and blind spots
• Why the future of leadership depends on emotional and moral intelligence
• What it means to design an economy — and a life — centered on meaning, not metrics
• And how AI’s reflection of us can become humanity’s greatest teacher

Whether you’re a founder navigating AI disruption or a curious human trying to stay grounded in a digital age, this conversation will remind you that wisdom — not code — may be the ultimate frontier.

Seth Berkley, MD has been at the front lines of the world’s biggest battles against infectious disease. As the longtime CEO of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, the cofounder of COVAX, and the founder of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, Berkley has helped bring lifesaving vaccines to billions of people.

In his new book, FAIR DOSES: An Insider’s Story of the Pandemic and the Global Fight for Vaccine Equity, Berkley lays out the hard truths of what went wrong during COVID—and how we can do better next time. From the rise of vaccine nationalism and political roadblocks to the explosion of misinformation, Berkley explains why inequitable vaccine access cost millions of lives and weakened global stability.

On this episode of FUTUREPROOF., we discuss:

• Why the next pandemic is not a question of if, but when
• What COVID-19 revealed about the politics of global health
• How vaccine nationalism and misinformation threaten our collective safety
• Lessons from COVAX and how to design faster, fairer systems in the future
• Why global cooperation isn’t just moral—it’s economic and existential

This is a candid conversation about science, trust, and survival in a world that will inevitably face future pandemics.
