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?

Reconnecting with Your Inner Child This episode explores the concept of the inner child and its role in shaping our adult lives. The hosts discuss how reconnecting with this part of ourselves can lead to greater peace, authenticity, and self-compassion. What is the Inner Child? The inner child is like a time capsule within us, holding emotions, memories, and experiences from childhood. It influences how we react to situations, often resurfacing in moments of strong emotion. Personal Story of the Author The author shares their experience of being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at 13. While they felt pride in being part of a pioneering treatment, their parents' fear and anxiety deeply impacted them. This story illustrates how childhood experiences shape our emotional responses as adults. Psychological Foundations The inner child concept is rooted in psychology, with Carl Jung’s child archetype symbolizing potential and renewal, John Bradshaw highlighting the wounded inner child and its impact on adult behavior, and Alice Miller emphasizing childhood trauma and the healing power of validation. How to Reconnect with Your Inner Child Self-reflection: Noticing emotional triggers and behaviors. Journaling: Writing letters to and from your inner child to express unspoken emotions. Meditation & Visualization: Imagining a safe space for your inner child and offering them love. Therapy: A structured approach for those with significant childhood trauma, using techniques like role-playing. The Healing Process Reconnecting with your inner child isn’t about dwelling on the past but offering understanding and compassion. This process can bring clarity, self-compassion, and a rediscovery of joy and creativity. Healing is always possible, and embracing the inner child can lead to greater authenticity and fulfillment. The episode ends with a thought-provoking question: What would your inner child say to you today? This serves as an invitation for listeners to explore their inner world with curiosity and kindness.

"Stop Over-Apologizing: Reclaim Your Space and Voice" Have you ever caught yourself saying “sorry” for things that don’t require an apology—like asking a question, expressing an opinion, or simply taking up space? If so, you’re not alone. Over-apologizing is a deeply ingrained habit for many of us, shaped by psychology, social conditioning, and even past trauma. In this episode, we unpack the root causes of excessive apologizing, from people-pleasing tendencies developed in childhood to societal expectations—especially for women—to be agreeable. We explore the connection between over-apologizing and fear of conflict, low self-worth, and self-abandonment, all backed by research in psychology and neuroscience. But breaking this cycle is possible. We discuss practical strategies to shift your language, build confidence, and reframe how you express yourself. Learn how to replace automatic apologies with assertive communication, set healthy boundaries, and take up space unapologetically.

Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is a strengths-based approach that fosters innovation and collaboration by focusing on what works well rather than identifying weaknesses. Developed by David Cooperrider, AI follows a 5-D Cycle : Define (identify focus), Discover (explore strengths), Dream (envision possibilities), Design (co-create solutions), and Destiny/Deliver (implement change). Research shows that positive inquiry enhances creativity, motivation, and engagement. Leaders who ask questions emphasizing strengths rather than problems create more innovative and adaptable teams. For example, organizations using AI have improved employee morale, patient satisfaction, and student performance by shifting from a problem-focused to a success-driven approach. Practical AI strategies include reframing questions to emphasize possibilities. Instead of asking, “Why is this failing?” try, “When has this worked well, and what made it successful?” Encouraging storytelling and using open-ended questions also lead to deeper insights and collaboration. Studies confirm AI’s effectiveness in increasing engagement, creativity, and leadership impact. By adopting AI, individuals and organizations can shift from problem-solving to strength-building, unlocking new opportunities for growth and meaningful change.
