Real Talk with Zuby

Zuby is joined by investigative journalist and founder of Neutral Point of View, Ashley Rindsberg. Ashley shares how his research into The New York Times led him deep into the world of narrative manipulation, platform bias, and information warfare. The conversation exposes how Wikipedia was quietly reshaped by Clinton-aligned operatives and Soros-linked funding following the 2016 election, how that bias now flows directly into AI systems like ChatGPT and Gemini, and how Iranian state propaganda ended up laundered through Wikipedia into large language models. They also discuss the scale of online influence campaigns, how to protect your mind in a propaganda-saturated world, and why less consumption is almost always the right answer.

Zuby sits down with Robert Netzly, CEO and founder of Inspire Investing, to discuss how a personal conviction led him to walk away from traditional Wall Street in 2011. Robert explains what Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) is and how he successfully launched faith-based ETFs on the New York Stock Exchange. He reveals how companies are screened and how people vote with their dollars. The conversation also dives into stewardship, complicity with evil, and a thoughtful discussion on Bitcoin.
