• The Horse That Carries a 5,000-Year Message of Peace
    Mar 21 2026

    What does a rare 18-month-old Arabian horse have to do with world peace? More than you'd think.


    In this episode of Silicon Valley Front Row, we sit down with Ann Lesley Smith at the historic Jacktown Ranch — a 177-year-old California property that dates back to the Gold Rush — to meet Amir Fajr Salaam, the Prince of Peace.


    Amir is a liver chestnut Arabian horse, one of the rarest colors in the breed, and a direct descendant of the legendary Fajr — a stallion whose bloodline traces back to Hollywood icons like The Black Stallion and King Mosabi, and whose lineage stretches 4,500 years to the Bedouin people of the Arabian desert.


    But Ann's vision goes far beyond horse shows. She believes Amir carries an ancient message — rooted in the story of Abraham, Hagar, and Ishmael — that the Arab people are blessed, protected, and loved. And that the Arabian horse, revered across all tribes and nations, may be one of the most powerful symbols of peace in the world today.


    In a time of global conflict and division, this episode is a reminder of what connects us all — and how far back those roots really go.

  • The Ranch With a Hollywood Gate — And a TV History Story
    Mar 14 2026

    She owns a piece of Hollywood history — and the story behind it is extraordinary.

    Philanthropist and ranch owner Ann Lesley Smith welcomes Silicon Valley Front Row to her estate in Escalon, California—where history, media, and Hollywood intersect.

    At the entrance stands a remarkable artifact known as the “Hollywood Gate,” once part of the original entrance to 20th Century Fox. The hand-crafted European iron gate, decorated with intricate tulip designs symbolizing wealth and craftsmanship, once welcomed legendary stars like Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, and Frank Sinatra.

    But the story goes far beyond Hollywood.

    In this conversation, Smith shares stories of media history, entrepreneurship, and the power of believing in a vision before others can see it.

    At the base of Mount Shasta, spiritual guide Ashlyn describes the mysterious energies many visitors claim to feel in this remote Northern California landscape. According to her, those who become sensitive through meditation can feel vibrations flowing through nature—from trees and rocks to the water itself.

    Ashlyn shares some of the most unusual experiences reported on the mountain, including a moment when she and two visitors believed they connected with a spacecraft hidden in the clouds during meditation. She also discusses the legends surrounding the underground city of Telos and the beings some believe live there.

    Are these experiences spiritual encounters, unexplained natural phenomena, or something science may one day understand? Hear Ashlyn’s perspective on energy, telepathy, and the enduring mysteries surrounding Mount Shasta.

  • Mysteries of Mount Shasta: A Tour Guide Reveals Hidden Legends
    Feb 28 2026

    We traveled to Mount Shasta, Northern California — one of the most spiritual and mysterious mountains in the world — and sat down with Ashlyn, a local resident of 35 years and owner of Shasta Vortex Adventures. Standing at the very headwaters of the Sacramento River, where 50-year-old filtered glacial water flows straight from the mountain, Ashlyn walks us through the legends, folklore, and spiritual history that make this place unlike anywhere else on Earth.

    We dive deep into the legend of Lemuria — an ancient continent said to have existed in the North Pacific Ocean before Atlantis — and what happened to its people. According to local lore and Ashlyn's own spiritual experiences, a group of Lemurian survivors built an underground city beneath Mount Shasta called Telos, complete with trees, water, and their own sun. Ashlyn has been guiding worldwide travelers through meditations to experience Telos since 2005.

    Whether you're a believer or a skeptic, this is a fascinating look at one of California's most unique and sacred destinations.

  • Your Life Has a Score and You Might Not Even Know It
    Feb 21 2026

    Is there a hidden scoring system quietly judging your politics, your lifestyle, and even how you vote — and could it one day determine whether you get a loan?

    In this eye-opening episode of Silicon Valley Front Row, we sit down with Brian Sussman — former CBS KPIX meteorologist and author of Climate Cult — to break down ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) scoring and what it really means for everyday Americans.

    Brian explains how Fortune 500 companies, college campuses, and even individuals are being rated on their environmental commitments, social circles, and leadership diversity — and why a low score can lead to boycotts, denied financing, or being shut out entirely.

    We also dig into the surprising truth about electric vehicles, how climate change narratives are being used as tools of political indoctrination in schools, and why a younger generation raised in public universities may be unknowingly advancing a decades-long agenda.
