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 math that powers 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.

A quick Friday episode about getting up out of bed to do your work when you don't want to. This comes from the amazing book Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Emperor.
I read the first passage of book five and it really is a great one to think and reflect on. What we are made to do, not what we want to do.
You can get the Gregory Hays edition I spoke about in the episode here.
I hope you enjoy this short form episode. Let me know what you think and if you'd like to see more of these.

Empowering Families Through A New Kind of School with Jason Herrick from Apogee HoCo 58:33

Send us a text Jason Herrick and his wife Caitlin decided to start playing offense for their children and the future of this country by taking control of the education they provide their children, themselves, and all the families lives they will touch through starting their own Apogee Strong campus; Apogee HoCo. Howard County, Maryland will be home to one of 50 campuses starting up in the near future all over the US. The mission of Apogee Strong is one that resonates with me deeply. Leading through example, not being afraid of failure, critical thinking, hands on learning, educating the whole family & more. Jason's story of suffering a severe concussion early in his professional soccer career left him unsure of the future of his family and his ability to provide. After being stuck of the subscription model of healthcare, and dealing with let down after let down, he realized through the help of some non-traditional medical professionals that he had the power to heal himself. It took searching out and being proactive about his care to find this solution. He now aims to provide all the families that enroll in Apogee HoCo this same gift. His leadership philosophy is to encourage, educate, and empower and he lives this in his own life and you'll be able to pick up on his care and authenticity in today's episode. Enjoy!

If you'd like to stay up to date with the show, subscribe to our newsletter HERE . On today's episode I was lucky enough to it down with one of the worlds leading sports scientists, elite level coach, author, speaker and former monk, Shayamal Vallabhjee. This conversation was deep, insightful, and actionable. In my opinion Shayamal has a special talent of measuring the intangible aspects of performance instead of hoping they show up when needed. He has systems to track them, make them repeatable and use them for growth. We started off discussing spirituality and specifically some passages from the Bhagavad Gita and how it can help us all live life a little more free and less attached to the outcome. From there we went all over elite performance, mindset, psychology, and optimization of our lives. I know you will love this episode and learn some invaluable insights from the world class coach and human; Shayamal Vallabhjee.

Living A Life You Want, Not One You've Been Conditioned For 25:42

If you do find value in the show, learn something, get inspired, or laugh I ask that you leave us a rating and review. I recently completely deleted my Instagram account, which may seem trivial and it actually feels stupid to even talk about it. This did cause me to realize how strongly I have been unconsciously conditioned to utilize these apps. In reality we all engage with people or systems that make us feel terrible but we keep coming back for more because we're gluttons for punishment apparently. I finally decided that is a game I don't want to play anymore and I'm not going to accept the deal they're giving me. Just because "everyone" is doing it, doesn't make it a beneficial relationship. If you've got something or someone that makes you feel like shit, cut it out of your sphere. Stop engaging with it or them because you're supposed to. Get outside and meditate, walk barefoot in the grass, spend time with family, and practice gratitude for all the great things you already have.

Today I give a little update on how insane I've gone or thought I'd gone after our move to Florida and how we figured out that it's really just grief and a normal process we can allow to happen and give ourselves grace, easier said than done. On our recent instagram poll, the reduction in risk of cancer and how exercise plays a role took the trophy.

If you do find value in the show, learn something, get inspired, or laugh I ask that you leave us a rating and review. When I was growing up I was bullied for many years, almost daily. It was a harrowing experience that helped shape me into the man I am today, and I wouldn't change a thing about it. It drove me to find the thing I still use to this day as solace from the chaos of life, the weight room. Once I found the weights I realized I could actually overcome the shit in my way. Lifting the weights, challenging myself to keep showing up, and fucking doing the work showed me what growth was. I gained confidence to stand up for myself, I understood discipline and commitment in a real way. The simple act of taking my training seriously led me to develop new friendships, ask for what I want in life, and have the persistence to get it. My hope is that all young men who are lost or confused or bullied, get the opportunity to be challenged physically to understand the mental benefits that come along with overcoming the challenge. For me it was the weight room and getting stronger. Building muscle and physical capability will work wonders for a young man full of doubt and fear. The skill of persistence is one that can be applied for the rest of their lives. Support the show Until next time, go get uncomfortable.
