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.

Thom Mozloom is the president and founder of the M Network, a branding and strategic communications firm based out of Miami, Florida.

Thom is a second-generation Phoenician and he draws from his ethnic and cultural background to discuss our need for restorative justice over retribution. When asked, “Where do we go from here?” Thom says we have to seek out neighbors and walk out our calling to forgive — 70 times 7. Support the show…

In today’s episode we talk with attorney, entrepreneur, and activist, Meagan Harding, who is the co-founder of Rosa Rebellion, a platform for creative activism by and for women of color. As a civil rights attorney, Meagan has fought for wrongful conviction policy and has worked to shine a light on solitary confinement through the Texas Civil Rights Project. Meagan’s commitment to fighting for the black community is unshakable; however, she talks honestly about the exhaustion, frustration, and sorrow, that comes with being an activist. Rest is a biblical mandate and for Meagan, that means that rest and recovery is essential to how God wants us to show up in the fight for liberation. This led to her Rebel + Rest project, which provides space for rest, therapy, and total care to activists across the country.
