On today's episode, cohosts Yasmin Gagne and Josh Christensen discuss the latest news in business and innovation. Topics include the federal government shutdown, YouTube settling a lawsuit and paying out $24.5 million to Trump, and a roundup of the latest AI developments.

Next, Josh and Yaz speak to senior writer Ainsley Harris about the reproductive technology startup Orchid. They discuss how the company is allowing parents using IVF to screen their embryos for not only genetic anomalies but also to assess the statistical risks for developing hundreds of diseases, from diabetes to cancer. But, to some, the technology blurs the line between disease prevention and “designer babies” for those who can afford the high price of screening.

Finally, Josh interviews House of Highlights vice president and GM Drew Muller about how they built their brand, creating original content, long-form franchises, and even a sports league of their own.
