Brian Johnson, long-running influencer and founder of Immortals, and Jason Blum, horror film producer and founder and CEO of Blumhouse, run very different businesses.
But both are prime examples of leaders rethinking their strategies and refocusing their careers as AI continues to disrupt industry after industry.
Both will be on stage at BI’s first flagship event in San Francisco on April 14th, where they will be interviewed by Business Insider journalists.
Our report shows that navigating the changes associated with AI and the industry changes it drives will not be easy. The Long Play is an opportunity to learn from executives who are leading the way and explore what it will take to adapt and build for the future.
Also on stage that night were Joanna Strober, Founder and CEO of Midi Health, and Carina Hon, Founder and CEO of Axiom AI.
As a two-time founder and venture capitalist, Mr. Strober has a track record of identifying opportunities in overlooked markets and attracting the enthusiasm of investors to build durable companies.
Hong is embarking on a revolution in AI itself, arguing that the path to superintelligence is through advanced mathematics. She has attracted some of Silicon Valley’s leading talent to her young startup, which is already valued at $1.6 billion.

Here’s what you can expect at The Long Play in San Francisco
Bet big on superintelligence
AI is transformative. Often that’s wrong. Karina Hong is working to solve that problem with her startup, Axiom Math. In a conversation with senior correspondent Ben Bergman, Hong explains why advanced mathematics is the key to superintelligence, how she’s attracted top talent from across Silicon Valley, and where her company, already valued at $1.6 billion, is headed next.
How can Hollywood survive in the age of AI?
The turmoil may be hitting Hollywood hard, but Jason Blum isn’t slowing down. His powerful studio, Blumhouse, is responsible for many of the most popular and profitable horror films of the past decade. He joins chief correspondent Peter Kafka to uncover how AI is changing the entertainment industry and how his unique business approach has helped Blumhouse grow in a time of changing consumer behavior.
A handbook for finding opportunities
Joanna Strober, founder and CEO of Midi Health, knew there was a business opportunity in women’s health, but it took grit and patience to get investors to see it too. What started as a mission to provide digital care to middle-aged women quickly grew into a unicorn company poised for significant growth. Strober, a former lawyer, longtime venture capitalist, and founder, talks with Editor-in-Chief Jamie Heller about finding opportunities in overlooked markets.
Do you want to live your best everlasting life?
