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.

While technology has forced sports marketers to change their approach to media buying, there is still something to be said for the power and radio and TV to amplify a brand.

Over the course of this series, we have spoken to countless people who have achieved great levels of success. And while some successful people find it useful to analyze how they got to that point, others simply put their head down and keep going even when the finish line is already in the rear-view mirror. On today's show, we'll hear from two people on opposite sides of that proverbial coin. First, host Adam Schick and MELT's Director of Public Relations & Community Affairs Mark Harmon talk to Zoe's Kitchen founder and serial entrepreneur John Cassimus about his latest venture outside the restaurant space and the singular drive that has made him so successful (1:01). Then, former Coca-Cola executive and recent TED Talk alumnus Katherine Leonard Reed shares lessons from her career and the keys to building a winning team (14:03).

When people think about jobs in sports marketing, they likely focus on front office positions with teams or league offices. What they might not consider is the variety of ways you can touch the business, and on today's show we'll help stretch that definition into the realm of both law and high school sports. First, host Adam Schick and MELT's Director of Public Relations & Community Affairs Mark Harmon talk to Learfield Licensing Senior Counsel Bruce Siegal about his early days working at the dawn of the licensing business and how Bear Bryant personally touched his life (1:03). Then, John Newby shares the ironic story of how he ended up in the cheerleading industry and the keys to success that have led him to a 30-year career with Varsity Brands, where he is currently the Executive Vice President for Impact & VIP Branding (17:19).
