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.

In "Door to Door to the Top Floor" I share what I've learned from my experience in the Air Force, D2D sales, B2B sales, and my experiences in tech amidst this crazy pandemic. We all go through the ups & downs of life, the good and the bad, but we ALL go through things that 99% of the time someone else has too. So in my podcast I share what I've learned in my life, and bring on guests that also can help shed a light on how to grow and become successful. We all start somewhere, it could be even like me... going door to door. But that's no reason you can't achieve your dreams and get to the top!

In this episode I tell the "This is good" story of the African King and his best friend, and leave you with my 3 step system to keeping a positive mindset when faced with adversity. This episode was inspired from a book I'm reading about this concept called "Embrace the suck" by Brent Gleeson a former Navy Seal. Navy Seals are experts in uncomfortable situations and there is so much to learn from them. So in the episode I share some of my perspective on facing adversity, and how I've adopted the "embrace the suck" mindset of the seals. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/d2dtothetopfloor/message…

I believe success is achieved by ordinary people with extraordinary determination - Zig Ziglar I couldn’t agree more.

In this episode were going to tell you some stories about people that didn't give up and give you 3 reasons why you should never give up on your dreams --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/d2dtothetopfloor/message…

In this episode I talk about "Trusting the process," meaning to have faith that things will work out. It's hard to trust the process, and have faith that no matter what you're going through its all apart of the journey. The “Trust the Process” slogan was used by fans of the Philadelphia 76ers back in 2013….where fans were basically saying “things may look bad now, but we have a plan to make it better.” In this episode I’m going to talk to you about how to create that process for yourself & leave you with 3 reasons why you should have faith and trust the process Check it out and connect with me on social @Conorjfergus --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/d2dtothetopfloor/message…

In this episode I got the opportunity to sit down & interview Will "Zee" Tidwell CEO of SpeakUpZee LLC. Zee grew up in Little Rock, AK as a future basketball star, but everything changed when his parents split at 17 and he ended up homeless with his mother. With no other options Zee quit basketball and helped provide for his family. During that hard time Zee started sharing his story through his writing, and the feeling he had from helping others and being vulnerable was the same amazing feeling he felt when he'd drop 30 points in a bball game. From that point on Zee knew what he was meant to do! Zee stumbled across his purpose at 17 years old, & learned how to use his story, hardship, & struggles not only as a way to motivate himself, but to also motivate & help others. In this episode I’ll be talking to Zee about his story, how he found his purpose, and get some advice from all of his experience going through life on the way towards his “top floor.” So without further a-do let’s listen in on my interview with the….Will “Zee” Tidwell. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/d2dtothetopfloor/message…

Justin and I met going door to door which in his words "was the best thing for him."

The Fugly Dumpling is a feel good comedy comic designed to make others feel good & spread positivity.

In this episode I sit with professional boxer Martez Jackson to hear and share his story. Martez grew up in Warner Robbins, GA a small rural town in Georgia. Becoming a professional fighter isn't easy anywhere, even harder when there's not many boxing gyms within miles of where you lived. Martez defied the odds and continues to climb the ranks in the middleweight division. Martez taught me boxing in my early 20's (looooong time ago) and he continues to fight, compete, train others and grow.

Episode 36: Why Network? 19:53

4 years temu19:53

19:53

In this episode I go over why its important to network. I think its a "moo point" that networking is important, this episode is pretty obvious in that sense. When I asked a few buddies they gave me similar answers that some of you may offer if I asked you why it was important. It plays a role in our professional lives sure, but it also plays a major role in our personal lives and relationships as well but asking for advice from someone you know and trust is healthy. At the end of the day you'll have to take action on your own but networking can be a shortcut. Please take a listen to this episode where I share why I network and the 5 reasons that its become something regular in my life. Please share, leave reviews, and interact with me on social! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/d2dtothetopfloor/message…
