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.

Moms, in general, often feel alone. Imagine not having a partner, family, or a community to help. Today we hear Katie Cartner’s story about how she not only survived motherhood as a single mom, but found strength, community, and purpose beyond what she could have ever asked for or imagined.

When you become a mom, it leaves no woman as if found her. It unravels her and rebuilds her. It cracks her open, takes her to the very edge of herself. It's both beautiful and brutal at the same time. Being a mom is a round-the-clock job. It’s a big responsibility and also a superpower. From the words of one of today’s guests, “Motherhood is the hardest job you will ever love.” Join us as we chat with two beautiful new mommas (and a baby), about navigating the first weeks and months of motherhood.

What do you think of when you hear the term "social rest?" Solitude? Unplugging from social media? Eliminating the noise in your life? Whelp, it's none of those things. Not in this chapter anyway. The truth is, we were not made to do life alone. God created us for connection and all of us have a deep longing to be seen. To be known. Social rest is when we find comfort in our relationships and social interactions. This week we are on PART TWO in our conversation, where we discuss the power of finding solace in one another.
