In a separate September 2024 podcast appearance, Levy discussed his background as a mentor at Seattle University for 25 years and his career transition from Merrill Lynch. He offered opinions on corporate culture, stating that "the way you get earnings per share up is you reduce cost" and that this creates job insecurity. Levy also commented on entrepreneurship, saying "more Americans are self-employed now than ever before" and that franchising can provide a predictable business model. He expressed concern about potential misuses of AI, such as unauthorized recording on Zoom calls, while stating that AI "if used correctly, will enhance humanity." Levy advised that people in their 40s or 50s should start entrepreneurial training and inventory their transferable skills, and he emphasized that integrity in business relationships is crucial.
