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.

Fostering Creativity 40:58

for 5 years siden40:58

40:58

Last week, I talked about the idea of building your own personal bundle/monopoly. The reality is that this starts at a very early age when most of us didn't view the world this way. This leads to the question of how do we help future generations build their personal monopoly. This is where I've been paying attention to the work of Ana Lorena Fabrega - a former teacher turned edupreneur . She is working with David Perell on to launch a summer camp for kids that teaches them on how to be a citizen of the internet . Whether it's using social media, know how to look for information or building relationships online, kids don't have a go-to resource to learn how to do these things effectively and responsibly. Most parents grew up in an era where these skills weren't really necessary to succeed and so you have a barrier that's very similar to speaking an entirely different language. Ana's camp along with other resources like The Knowledge Society are working toward solving this problem. As such, I felt it made sense to have a conversation with Ana to see how she's thinking about solving this. Here's what we talk about: The Future of Education There's a lot of different avenues for education - whether it's the traditional system, online education, homeschooling. Do you see one channel becoming the predominant form of education? How do you see all of this co-existing with one another? What should a 10-year-old child focus on doing right now? What does success or failure look like? Being a digital citizen is a foreign concept for most parents today, especially for those who come from disadvantaged communities. How do kids get around that barrier? Building a Summer Camp How have you gone about building a course for children? How does it compare with adult learning courses? What has stayed the same? Why did you choose to focus on creative writing? How would you go about teaching other skills? (e.g. STEM) Tell us about a couple of stories from your pilot WOP camp. What kind of transformation have you seen with students? How do you think about a child's support system? How can parents and caregivers support this system? Not everyone has the time, resources or even knowledge to teach their kid to be citizens of the internet. Let's fast forward to 2040. What is it about the camp experience that you want your students to remember? What will they have learned that other kids didn't necessarily have the exposure to? This is definitely a great listen.

Conjuring Scenius 39:13

for 5 years siden39:13

39:13

Throughout history, there are moments in time where we witness remarkable accomplishments from a group of individuals. A little known example: The Eagle and Child pub in Oxford, England. “Patrons of The Eagle and Child wrote three of the five best-selling fantasy series of all-time within an eighteen year period - The Lord of the Rings , The Hobbit , and The Chronicles of Narnia . It is here, on Tuesday mornings, that C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and the other members of The Inklings of Oxford met to read, discuss, and critique each other's work. Tolkien read drafts of The Lord of the Rings to the group, and they provided both criticism and encouragement in turn. The Inklings were so impactful on Tolkien’s writing that he dedicated the first edition of The Lord of the Rings to them, writing , “What I owe to them all is incalculable,” and singled out Lewis in particular by saying, “only by his support and friendship did I ever struggle to the end.” The Eagle and Child played host to a Scenius , the major driving force behind much of the world’s progress.” Packy McCormick, who was a part of the Write of Passage Fellowship, wrote an essay on how to create scenius. If you don’t want to read the full 10,000-word essay, Packy and I did a podcast to explore this idea. We talk about three important topics: What are the ingredients of a Scenius? Why do Michael Jordan’s Bulls qualify as a Scenius? How do we create a Scenius? What does it look like in the age of the internet? Highly recommend giving this a listen! For those of you who want to follow Packy’s work, I’d recommend checking out his newsletter called Not Boring . He makes some incredible connections between pop culture and today’s topics. He also features guest writers across different fields/interests every Thursday.…

Running an Online Course 48:26

48:26

Platforms like Teachable have made it easier to create online courses. With schools around the world being shut down, we’ve essentially forced ourselves to learn online. As with anything else on the internet, there’s a lot of poor courses and a few great ones. Will Mannon manages a couple of courses that I’ve taken including Building a Second Brain and Write of Passage. We were in the same cohort for Write of Passage making this a special episode for both of us. Since then, he went on to join the Forte Labs team full-time and I helped create the Write of Passage Fellowship. The goal of this podcast is to really go deep on the challenges/opportunities behind running an online course and where we see it going in the future. Online Courses Today Let's talk about the different types of online courses out there. We see self-paced courses on a number of different platforms. What really sets some apart from others? What have students wanted to see in an online course? What courses have done a good job of standing out vs. others? Are online courses right for me? Challenges / Opportunities As a consumer, what should I be looking for in an online course? As a business, what are the types of companies or individuals who should be looking into creating online courses? Where do you see online courses or perhaps even online schools going? Community forums can be hit or miss. As a user, how do you make the most out of private communities? On the flip side, as a facilitator, how do you get people engaged? Running an Online Course What type of time commitment are we talking about to build and then run the course? What has surprised you the most?

Investing in Stocks 53:10

I'm really excited to have Austin Lieberman on the podcast today. I have been following him on Twitter for the past 6 months. He's served as a Captain in the Air Force for ~7 years and taught himself how to invest. You don't need to have a business or finance background to be a great investor. The biggest thing that stood out to me is Austin's transparency. It's easy to talk about success in hindsight. Austin really puts himself out there and shares his ideas and picks as he makes them. He continuously shares his learnings both good and bad - which is rare to see online. A couple of months ago, Austin and a few other investors started 7Investing, which is a great subscription service on providing guidance on potential investments . I've personally benefited from some of the picks that Austin has made and would recommend checking it out. The goal of this podcast is to really get down to the basics of investing. Investing in stocks can be a great way of building financial independence if done right. Getting Started Should I invest in stocks? How much money do you need to get started? What should my overall portfolio look like? (e.g. cash on hand vs. investments) What do you look for in a trading platform? Are there any particular ones that you'd recommend? Making an Investment What's the difference between stocks and ETFs? What are the steps you take to identify and make a new investment? Is there a right time to buy? An Investor's Psyche How do you distinguish investing vs. trading? What are some things you do to avoid day trading? When should you 'double-down' vs. exit an investment? How do you make that decision? What's a healthy time commitment for managing a portfolio?…

Building Great Teams 32:51

32:51

I had the pleasure of working with Will during the early days of GrowthGenius. He's the founder of GrowthGenius and previously started Bitmaker (Canada's first coding school). You may have noticed that a lot of my posts featured my former colleagues at GrowthGenius. I think that goes to show the type of team he's been able to put together. On that note, I wanted to understand and share some of the learnings I've gained around building a high-performance team. Here are a few questions that we go through in the podcast: A lot of the people you hired at GrowthGenius and Bitmaker didn't have a background in sales and education. Yet, they turned out to be pretty great at doing their jobs. How do you identify hidden talent? As a startup, you've seen the ups and downs of adding people really quickly. How do you think about hiring the next person when you're trying to ramp up quickly? How do you balance the speed of a hire vs. quality? What are some techniques that you've used in the past to hire people who aren't looking for a job? How do you assess a candidate's profile? What are some common red flags that you see? What are some key 'highlights' that you identify? What are your thoughts on diversity? What are some resources that have helped you become an expert in hiring startup talent?…

Full Stack Marketing 33:34

for 5 years siden33:34

33:34

Over the past couple of years, I've done growth-related work for two startups - GrowthGenius and Knowledgehook. I don't consider myself to be an expert. However, I have paid attention to what kind of tactics work and what doesn't. Today, we have a number of channels available to us including email, LinkedIn, calling, direct mail, podcasts, video series, blogs, newsletters, and partnerships. This creates an infinite range of possibilities to attract new customers or engaging existing users. The best campaigns always come down to the amount of 'free value' that you provide your user. The more 'free value' you provide, the more likely you're able to build trust with your prospect/user. The more competitive your space is, the more free value you'll need to provide. Free value isn't always $$$ related. It can come in the form of content that provides unique insights, tools that make the life of your prospect easier, access to experts in your prospect's field, or even recognition among their peer group. The mechanism that allows you to provide free value to your prospects and users can vary quite significantly. I've seen people run free breakfasts (pre-COVID-19), offer consultation sessions, or even create whitepapers to legitimize the work being done by the prospect. At the surface, it's quite easy to rush and learn the next 'new tactic' whether that's creating a podcast (gaining a lot of popularity now) or running a massive conference (a tactic that was used by many tech companies the past couple of years). I'd rather go a layer deeper and understand the skills that allow you to find the next best tactic vs. being copying the current trend. Being User Focused It always starts with the end-user/customer. If you don't understand your user, you won't be able to generate free value for them. A lot of people make the mistake of creating free value as an extension of their product regardless of whether it's actually useful for the end-user. In that scenario, you're really just optimizing for your own convenience. The key to being a great UX expert often lies in asking the right questions, using data where possible but more importantly having an independent view on what the future (in this case, a campaign) should look like. Creating Content Being able to create digital content across various channels (newsletter, blog, podcast, video, and social media) is critical. Those of us who invested in learning how to create digital content are seeing the payoff today, where people pretty much only consume content online. Using Automation The goal isn't necessarily to become a developer but rather to be coding-literate. You should be able to work with different tools, understand how applications work, and apply them in a way that allows you to scale your campaign. The key is to start with an extremely manual process and then use tools to improve and scale your workflow. The three skills above are what form the full-stack marketer. When you apply these three skills to the goal of creating free value for the user, you'll almost certainly be able to create a tactic that generates disproportionate returns. While I did say that you're better off trying to find the next best tactic, there is such a thing as marketing arbitrage. You can steal tactics from highly competitive industries (e.g. B2B sales technology) and apply it to less competitive industries (e.g. education) and generate more results. To further illustrate my point on the full-stack marketer, I did a podcast with a former colleague of mine, David Hurley . He has an incredible blend of marketing, coding and sales - which has allowed him to execute some interesting campaigns. He's currently building Conversify and has worked at #paid, Planswell, and GrowthGenius. Here are some questions that we explore during the podcast. How has your stack of marketing skills changed over time? It's one thing to be a true developer. It's another thing to be literate on code and know-how to build prototypes. How did you go about learning how to code? What are some of the 3-5 quick hacks that saved you a bunch of time? Tell me about the power of Facebook advertising. What makes it so special? Walk me through the steps of how you would set up an experiment on Facebook. How do you test messaging? What can we learn from it?…

How To Learn 48:24

Over the past couple of years, I've had the fortune of working for Duncan McCall . He's a co-founder of Bitmaker and Brainstation and founding member at GrowthGenius . He's also easily one of the smartest people I have worked with and the best manager that I've had. He's learned everything from sales to coding to audio engineering to education and has applied his learnings in a way that benefits the people around him. The idea of 'how to learn' has been an area that Duncan and I have been interested in for quite some time. I highly recommend listening to this podcast. It's also a concept that all of us can work on. For a summary of the podcast, check out this post here .…

Our Speakers Mayu Thava He’s a close friend of mine and someone who’s been passionate about real estate for several years. Of the past six months, he’s made several investments in the GTA and Windsor areas. He’s also shared his investment process as he’s gone along this journey. Check out his work here! Jacob Perez Jacob Perez has been investing aggressively in the Hamilton, Ontario real estate market since he was 23 years old. Leveraging his early success, he began partnering with families and professionals in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) to complete joint venture real estate transactions. Jacob works as a Mortgage Agent with Synergy Mortgage Group, a role that allows him to assist investors and first-time homebuyers to leverage real estate to build wealth. I ask them some important questions including: 1) What about real estate do you guys understand that most people don't? 2) How has COVID-19 impacted your investment activities over the past month? What has surprised you the most? 3) What does your purchase criteria for residential properties look like? How has the pandemic changed that? 4) What are some creative ways to continue making investments when you're seemingly tapped out? (e.g. you already have a house/renting a property to live in) For short notes, check out my newsletter at suthensiva.substack.com.…

During my time at GrowthGenius, I had the fortune of working with Liam Redmond. I saw him grow from being a business development rep to an expert on generating leads on LinkedIn. His approach toward business development and growth teaches lessons that go beyond sales. In our hour-long conversation, we cover the following questions: What's the role of a business development rep or growth person? What kind of skills do you need to have to succeed in this role? What's the role of LinkedIn (and other social media platforms) in your prospecting process? What is it that you understand about LinkedIn that others don't? Why are follow-ups so important? How do you think about drafting a creative follow up message? What's your approach to learning new things? What does your information diet look like? How do you build habits?

A brief introduction to Nizar and Api. Nizar Hasan - He's a former colleague of mine at GrowthGenius and someone who is incredibly passionate about helping people achieve their maximum potential. He's an engineer by trade, worked in the construction space, did his MBA in Spain and was amazing at building client relationships for GrowthGenius. He's since become a life coach and has started to build out a diverse client base over the past few months. I personally enjoyed his post on the science of well-being - check it out! Apiman Sivakumar - He's a close friend of mine since high school. He's always shown a knack for helping others and so I'm not surprised to see him working as a mental health worker at Progress Place for the past two years. I'm consistently amazed by the stories he shares about his members - he definitely puts everything I deal with into perspective.…
