In this episode, Trae Stephens — co-founder of Anduril Industries and partner at Founders Fund — joins Shawn Ryan for an unfiltered conversation on faith, technology, and national defense. From his blue-collar upbringing in Ohio to his early days in the intelligence community and groundbreaking work at Palantir, Stephens shares how his Christian worldview shapes his approach to AI-driven defense systems. He discusses just war theory, Silicon Valley’s shifting spiritual landscape, and building cutting-edge autonomous weapons at Anduril. Plus, behind-the-scenes stories about Peter Thiel, Palmer Luckey, and what it takes to build tech that protects America.
