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.

Ep 92: Why Mouth Taping is a Game Changer with Todd Anderson, Founder of Dream Recovery 1:02:12

1:02:12

In this episode, Melissa sits down with Todd Anderson, an athlete turned entrepreneur, who has always been fascinated with optimizing human performance, particularly through sleep. Initially skeptical of the wellness trend of mouth taping at night, Melissa shares how everything changed once she tried it herself. Todd explains the evolutionary significance of nasal breathing, noting how most people unknowingly breathe through their mouths while sleeping. This simple shift to nasal breathing has profoundly impacted Melissa's anxiety levels, with benefits ranging from stress reduction and improved sleep to better oral health and a more defined jawline. They discuss Dream Recovery, the best quality tape for optimal results and skin protection, designed to make the practice of mouth taping more accessible—even for those who find it nerve-wracking. As science continues to uncover more benefits, Melissa encourages listeners to stay open to new wellness practices and see how they can positively transform their lives.

It’s been five years since Melissa stopped drinking alcohol, and life has transformed completely. She now navigates anxiety and stress by managing her mental health in a much healthier way, recognizing triggers without letting them take over. When she wakes up in a dark place, she dives deep into her life, getting radically honest with herself.
