This special episode of the a16z Podcast is based on a Q&A from an early screening we hosted of OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network)’s “Belief”, which just premiered and airs over seven consecutive nights. This week-long documentary series depicts how people — with a wide range of faiths and spiritual practices around the world — search for deeper meaning and connection with the world around them. But ultimately, it’s about the rituals, stories, and relationships that bind us all together as human beings.
The conversation features Oprah Winfrey interviewed by Ben — or being interviewed by Oprah, depending on how you look at it (and getting schooled in how to do so!) — as well as one of the series guests, Resham Thakkar, joining them onstage from the audience.
The a16z Podcast discusses the most important ideas within technology with the people building it. Each episode aims to put listeners ahead of the curve, covering topics like AI, energy, genomics, space, and more.
