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.

Science & Doubt. Two things that many people see as completely contrary to finding God. However, my guest on this episode could not disagree more. Mike McHargue, more widely known as “Science Mike,” has found his deepest sense of spiritual enlightenment by embracing life’s greatest mysteries. His latest book is called Finding God In The Waves: How I Lost My Faith and Found It Again Through Science and he currently hosts both The Liturgists Podcast and Ask Science Mike. Science Mike and I talked for quite a while, so this episode has two major sections you’ll want to hear! In the first section, we get to hear Science Mike’s compelling story about disproving his faith, becoming a secular humanist, almost losing his entire community of family & friends, then miraculously finding God through a profoundly mystical experience. In the second half of the episode, I ask Science Mike the most provocative questions I can think of… How should we view the Bible? Does Church Matter? What is the nature of God? What do we do with doubt? What is the future of faith communities? All these questions and more get answered in detail! So if you or any of your loved ones have ever wrestled with serious doubt or have already walked away God entirely, you need to give this episode a listen.

Christmas. Hanukkah. These may seem like opposing holiday traditions, but they are rooted in the same hope: That we may find a light in the darkness. In this episode, I bring my Rabbi with me once again to discuss how an understanding of Jewish history & Hanukkah can illuminate the power we have to live nobly despite even the most adverse circumstances. After Rabbi Shreibman is done, I take a deep dive into the essence of Christmas as a time to celebrate Immanuel, or “God With Us.” Finally, we end with some Q&A from our live audience. It’s gets real. We discuss the feeling of God’s absence. We attempt to answer how polarizing religion can be. & Much more… If you or someone you love is searching for a deeper meaning to the holiday season, feeling apathetic or overwhelmed by loss and darkness, then this episode is for you.…

Creative Adventures 40:18

Ever get writers block? Ever wonder how to get that idea out of you? My goal with this episode is to help you get UNSTUCK creatively. We live in a creativity economy. Robots and drones are making 'tasks' done by humans a thing of the past. Your imagination, your creativity and your passion are the future. No drone can create like you can. So how do we continue to protect & fuel our creativity in this world? How do we stay inspired? In this episode, we journey through key ideas and practices to spark your creativity. It all starts with your brain! Creativity is an activity of the human brain. We are just now beginning understand its cause & effect of neurocreativity. A few of my favorite neuroscientists currently making waves in this field of study are: Mark Beeman, Adam Bristole and Andrias Fink. The major beats of this episode are: 1. Deconstruct the right brain or the left brain myth. 2. Understand the three key areas of the brain involved in creativity. (This is not just an FYI, understanding the networks REALLY matters when fostering and strengthening creativity) 3. Getting some advice from the most creative person I know. If you're looking for more practical steps to take today, I cover four key steps of jump starting, strengthening and protecting your creative process: 1. Raw Materials - the enemy of creativity is a finished product. Find ingredients people used to make their finished product, rather than the completed vision itself. 2. Slow Down the Process - always be collecting information and ideas, then take your time connecting all the pieces. Hurry is the enemy of creativity. 3. Do Something Random - do anything to get you out of your comfort zone. Travel abroad, be spontaneous and shock your system into new ideas. 4. Stop the Dream Killer - the executive attention center may be the cause of this and while it is vital, it needs to come later on down the road in order to allow the brainstorming phase to run free. I hope this episode gives you the inspiration, insights or information to dive into your own creative adventure. Here's to all your adventures! Hank…

Follow Up: Writing Your Life Story 38:42

Last week we began the journey of writing our life story. In this episode, I do a quick recap of what we covered and follow up with three people who were impacted in various ways by these three steps: 1). Write Your Table of Contents - Create a list of the chapters you want. “The Year I Got Married” “The Year I Launched My Company” What chapters do you hope to write someday? 2). List all the chapters you already have but didn't want - What have been pivotal points in your story you regret or wish you could rewrite? 3). Write the Summary - What kind of story are you writing? What is the overall theme of your narrative? What will be the impact of your story on the rest of the world? Disclaimer: There are two crucial rules to remember while practicing this exercise! • You have everything you need. • You are more powerful than you realize. The common misconception is that we unable to complete these chapters because we lack something, i.e. "If only I had more money...If only I had more time!" False. You have everything you need, and you're stronger than you know. Listen in as three people reflect on how they have begun to use these tools and mindsets presented in the live talk from last week to begin writing a life story they can be proud of.…
