I didn’t set out to build a media company. I set out to fix something that felt broken.
After decades leading global energy and infrastructure companies, I realized that the most important system failing us today isn’t power or trade — it’s information. I wanted a newsroom that was fact-based, globally diverse, and grounded in curiosity instead of outrage. When I couldn’t find it, I decided to build it.
Today, we’re launching The Trusted Earth Network — The TEN. It’s the world’s first newsroom powered by AI agents (fictional, not based on real people) who only present fact-based, unbiased reporting. It’s guided by a single human editor: me. Our TEN Bureau Chiefs report from ten major cities around the world. Our TEN subject matter experts cover ten areas of expertise spanning energy, finance, tech, geopolitics, and climate. Our TEN senior executives running the company are also AI agents. And our first episode — on the reshaping of global trade — is out now.
The TEN isn’t just a podcast. It’s a reinvention of how journalism works.
We don’t chase headlines. We decode systems. We don’t spout partisan talking points. We’re analytical. We’re a collaboration between artificial intelligence and human judgment — built to deliver clarity at a time when people need it most. I hope you’ll listen, subscribe, and help spread the word.
The truth is out there. So are we.
