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.

I've had multiple conversations with new business owners whose spouses are worried (and occasionally antagonistic) about the time and money they're investing in the new venture. This episode is a note just for that concerned spouse.

Businesses have inertia. That means they're hard to get moving, but it also means it's hard to stop them once they're rolling.

EP61: "I made this for you. Do you want it?" 11:05

I stole that line from Seth Godin's new book, "This is Marketing." That one phrase -- "I made this for you. Do you want it?" -- captures so much about what it takes for new (and established) business owners to get out of their heads and into the real work of marketing. Episode 61 talks through the vulnerability and confidence it takes to stop fretting at your desk and start talking to the people you hope to serve.…

EP60: A class for new coaches -- when to hire someone to do work for you, when to do it yourself, and when to hire a coach to guide you. 15:46

I've been teaching some class to new (and new-ish) life coaches. In this episode of the show I pulled a 15-minute segment out of one of the classes where I talked about how new coaches should think about spending time versus spending money versus hiring coaches as they get their business off the ground.…

How to use goals whose outcome you can control completely to achieve goals you can only influence with your effort.

This is your reminder to ignore anyone (including yourself) who might say "It's too late. The market is saturated. There's too much competition. Everyone who is going to succeed already succeeded."

I've hired three new team members and they're doing a great job. This is great news, so why am I so anxious?

EP54: The numbers are neutral. Our thoughts about the numbers are not neutral. 11:41

If you show ten different business owners the same set of financials, you'll get ten different opinions about what the numbers mean. This is proof that the numbers are neutral -- they only get their meaning from us. Episode 54 explains why this is such a crucial insight.

I went to a six-day life coach training this week. The content was amazing, the connections and conversations were even better. There's nothing like getting into the same physical space as your ideal clients, spending quality time, and building relationships.

Last week I told you to set rules and guidelines for how you deliver your service. This week's message is to keep your mind open and change those rules when you realize they're built on faulty assumptions.

EP50: Why the rules and boundaries you put in place for client work protect your clients more than you (and that's a good thing). 13:19

13:19

I have a few rules (maybe more like best practices) I use in my service to ensure high quality and limit mistakes. On occasion I've broken those rules with the idea that I'm helping the client out. The reality is when you break the rules that protect the quality of your work, it's the client that suffers.…
