Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying mathematical concepts that power modern machine learning, to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives–even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

With that in mind,

How can we make our tools universally useful for everyone?
Is your neurochemistry a circumstance or a thought?
Are your thoughts empowering? Are they serving you?
Are you treating your clients differently based on their brain or body?

The Religion of Positivity 30:59

3 years тому30:59

30:59

Something that we’ve noticed within the entrepreneurial space is the focus on positivity, to the point of perfectionism. Does that really get us anywhere? Does it really serve us to eliminate every negative thought or feeling? Is the morality of “good” and “bad” feelings getting in the way of you getting your work done? Good thoughts=good feelings=good actions=good results, right? If only it were that simple. Emotions are a natural part of the human experience, and this formula doesn’t account for any privileges you may or may not have. Try this exercise: Next time you notice a negative or “bad” thought, stop and identify how that thought and feeling is helping you. Is it protective? Is it shining a light on a fear or maladaptive coping strategy you need to deal with? Then, have some compassion with yourself and decide what you want to do with that information. The podcast mentioned in this episode is called The Dream ( https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dream/id1435743296 ) In this episode Nancy also mentions a couple of parenting books she’s been reading: Your Self-Confident Baby Bringing Up Bébé This wraps up Season 1 and we’d love to hear what questions you have!

Internalized Capitalism With Your Clients 56:09

3 years тому56:09

56:09

Neither of us are economists, but we have definitely seen some similarities among clients with how they relate to money and their creativity. Some examples of internalized capitalism in your clients (and yourself) might be: The belief that all progress must be linear, positive, upward. The belief that their worth and value as a human are tied to their productivity at a job. The worth you create at work is relative to how much time you spent and how efficient you were. To have more power or influence, they need to have more money. One major goal of coaching then is to decouple self-worth from the pursuit of goals, and deconstruct the false binaries.

Today we’ll tackle the topic of neurodiversity within your coaching practice. The vocabulary is evolving, but it’s becoming more commonly accepted that people with so-called disorders like ADHD and autism (among others) aren’t disabilities, but instead normal variations in human cognitive design. With that in mind, How can we make our tools universally useful for everyone? Is your neurochemistry a circumstance or a thought? Are your thoughts empowering? Are they serving you? Are you treating your clients differently based on their brain or body?

Fact or Story? 33:03

3 years тому33:03

33:03

One of the foundational tools we have as coaches is the concept of “facts” or “circumstances.” This isn’t the same textbook definition that you may be familiar with, but more of an exercise to separate the fact from the story. A fact in this context would be something outside of yourself that in a court of law, people would generally agree with. There’s no value judgement or interpretation. The story is what happens in your mind in response to the circumstance. Something we can do as coaches is re-introduce facts in order to “upgrade” the “filters” that your brain has applied and therefore change your emotional response. Not to mention that facts are all colored by perceptions, biases, vocabulary, and even sensory input. In coaching, it’s a delicate balance between allowing clients to have their own perception of reality and working towards changing their story. It’s most important to empower your clients and not get stuck in the fact versus story conversation. Coaches are not fact police.

Individual Responsibility Versus the Collective in Coaching 41:18

3 years тому41:18

41:18

What are the differences between individual responsibility and belonging to a group? Does it necessarily mean that benefit to the individual takes away from the group, or that benefits to the group mean that there’s an implicit negative impact on the individual? As coaches, we are called to be of service, so we are only successful when we are serving our clients to the best of our ability. Our values align personally and as a collective when we want to be of service. So the question then - do we need to add consideration to our larger impact into our models? Is the coaching community considering their impact versus intent? Rising tides rise all boats. We all benefit from having a society that values all of our wellbeing and all of our health and all of our pay equity and everything.

Elevating The Coaching Profession 23:45

3 years тому23:45

23:45

Clarity Call is a podcast for coaches interested in evolving our profession and industry. Hosted by Meg Kierstead, a coach for multi-passionate rebels, and Nancy Sun, a coach for creatives, this podcast aims to create a more inclusive and effective space for all humans interested in personal development…one episode at a time. The reason we’re here is to engage with coaching as something that’s fluid, evolving, and can change based on the people who use and practice the tool of coaching. We want to elevate the coaching profession as something that is legitimate, serious, and fun. We don’t necessarily have all the answers, but we do want to bring up a lot of questions. Reach out to us and to each other and start having some conversations about who we are as coaches, how we serve our clients, and being thoughtful about the practice of coaching. We get to decide what coaching is! What is the power relationship between coach and client? What is the power relationship between coaches inside a group container? What is the role of capitalism? How does your intersectional identity impact the way you coach and can be coached?
