  • Circuit Breaker Labs: The Last Line of Defense Before AI Hurts Someone with Arul Nigam

    Circuit Breaker Labs: The Last Line of Defense Before AI Hurts Someone with Arul Nigam
    Jun 19 2026
    A chatbot told a teenager how to die.

    That is the problem Arul and Shirali Nigam set out to fix.

    In this episode, meet the co-founder of Circuit Breaker Labs, a startup backed by A16Z Speedrun that stress-tests AI before it ever reaches a real person.

    They call it the crash test dummy for AI. Their team runs thousands of fake conversations to find the moment a chatbot breaks. Then they patch it before someone gets hurt.

    ✅ What you'll learn:
    • Why AI guardrails pass the easy test and fail on real people
    • The "grading your own homework" flaw in how most companies score AI safety
    • How a homemade flyer at a conference turned into a major contract
    • Why safety becomes the next big moat, the way cybersecurity did
    • How the US can move fast on AI and stay safe at the same time

    🎧 Hosted by Shane Ray Martin, venture investor at B Ventures, CEO of the PeaceTech Accelerator, former startup founder, LinkedIn Top Voice in Negotiation, and certified peace mediator helping founders scale technology and peace.

  • Inside Sovereign's Capital: The $1B+ Faith-Driven Fund with Richard Cunningham

    Inside Sovereign's Capital: The $1B+ Faith-Driven Fund with Richard Cunningham
    May 20 2026
    If you're a faith-driven founder or investor - this one's for you!

    I've been so fortunate to get to know Richard, Phil, Jake, and so many others in the FDI "Faith Driven Investor" community, and this conversation was a chance to go deep on how Sovereign's Capital built a $1B+ fund rooted in faith.

    Richard Cunningham walks me through the full story - from Henry Kaestner getting turned down 40 times on Sand Hill Road, to bootstrapping Bandwidth.com to IPO, to launching Sovereign's Capital, Faith Driven Entrepreneur, and Faith Driven Investor.

    Then we get into the heart of the fund of funds: how they pick managers, what "descriptive vs. prescriptive" faith really means in the marketplace, and why capital might be one of the most powerful forms of influence on the planet!

    Richard is a man for the people and loves Jesus; this is a good one.
