Honor Technology CEO Seth Sternberg - Why Technology Should Be “World Good”

Seth Sternberg, Co-Founder & CEO of Honor, joins Clint Betts for a powerful conversation on aging, AI, mental health, leadership, and what it means to build technology that is genuinely “world good.”

Honor is transforming how society cares for older adults by helping seniors safely age in their homes through technology-enabled care. In this episode, Seth explains why the aging population crisis is one of the most important challenges of the next decade — and how AI can help solve it.

The conversation also dives into Silicon Valley culture, the responsibility of founders, social media, political division, and why the best companies are built around mission and impact rather than just valuation and wealth.
