Future-Driven & Science-Based

Welcome to ARQIV.fm, where real science answers real questions.

Each episode starts with a problem people actually face, then follows a simple method:
Ask. Research. Question. Investigate. Verify.

From AI and automation to healthcare, productivity, leadership, and the physics under everyday life, ARQIV cuts through hype and headlines to find what is actually true, what still isn’t known, and what it means for how you live and work.

If you’re curious, tired of vague “thought leadership,” and want evidence you can use, this is your place to think harder, see clearer, and make better decisions powered by science and technology.

About

Steve Ryan

Host of The ARQIV

Steve Ryan is a research-driven science and technology enthusiast who turns big, unsettling, and often misunderstood questions into clear, evidence-based stories. He built his career solving high-stakes problems at Amazon, where he designed systems, led global investigative teams, and navigated the intersection of data, security, and emerging technology. After a medical crisis forced him to rethink what “a meaningful life” looks like, he walked away to build something of his own: ARQIV.

Today, Steve uses that same investigative discipline to make sense of the world’s most complicated ideas. On ARQIV, he examines the science behind modern life, the technologies shaping our future, and the hidden assumptions driving human behavior. Every episode follows a simple mission:
Ask better questions. Do the research. Investigate the “why.” Verify the truth.

Steve’s work blends scientific rigor with accessible storytelling, helping listeners connect the dots between cutting-edge research, real-world systems, and the future we’re building. He’s not here to theorize for entertainment. He’s here to explain what matters, what’s changing, and how emerging science will shape the next decade.

When he’s not recording, Steve is experimenting with new creative tools, exploring ideas with his son, and designing a life rebuilt around curiosity, clarity, and purposeful work.
