The Winning Mentality podcast

1:14:43

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.

Ben Ryan - Always Striving to Learn 55:39

hace 4 years55:39

55:39

Ben is a quite extraordinary character with an amazing story, which seems to have been made possible by his determination and no-nonsense desire to succeed in his chosen profession. By his early 40s, he’d already gone from PE teacher to head coach of England Rugby 7s, resigned from that job and was hunting for a new challenge. He found one in Fiji, where Ben eventually took a group of spectacularly skilled but unfit and disorganised rugby players from underperforming in 2013 to Olympic Gold in 2016.…

Sean Shelton - For the Love of the Game 57:21

hace 5 years57:21

57:21

Sean Shelton is that rarest of things - a professional American Football player who plies his trade in Europe. The story of how he got from Tampa Bay, Florida to the Swarco Raiders in Innsbruck, Austria via Kansas, Paris and Helsinki, is fascinating, and his in depth analysis of his position on the field - quarterback - is staggering. If you don’t know much about American Football, prepare to be amazed by what you are about to hear. I say during this interview, and I’m happy to argue the point with anyone, that quarterback is the single most difficult position that anyone plays in a team sport. When you’ve heard Sean explain what his job involves, you’ll understand why.…

Steve Black - Bespoke Improvement 55:36

hace 6 years55:36

To call Steve Black - almost universally known as Blackie - a coach is barely to do him justice. He’s a manager, a motivator, a change maker, and so much more. This is a no nonsense analysis of sporting and business success from a man who has walked the walk for over 3 decades. Enjoy.

I’m Charlie Boscoe and today I’m chatting to Jordi Cruyff - a man who’s experienced the highest highs and the toughest lows that professional sport has to offer. He played for Manchester United and Barcelona, was forced to retire due to injury and then came back a couple of years later just to prove he could. He’s been a sporting director in Malta and Israel and is now making his first forays into management.…

Jamie Acton - The Battle Within 57:50

hace 6 years57:50

57:50

As a rule, active athletes don’t open up about how they feel and sport, and the care of professional sportspeople, is poorer as a result. Jamie’s searing honesty and openness should be an example to anyone of what courage really looks like. Forget the physical battle or rugby, saying that you’re not OK is sometimes the toughest challenge of all.…

After 2 failed attempts at Olympic success, Ben Hunt-Davis and his teammates in the British 8-man rowing crew decided that, ahead of the Sydney Olympics, everything they did would be based on one question - Will it make the boat go faster?

Aged just 19, Janja Garnbret is already one of the most dominant athletes in the World. She's got a far better winning percentage than Serena Williams, Tiger Woods or Michael Schumacher, and she's only just getting started. Perhaps even more impressive than her results is her attitude - she's humble, motivated and keen to improve; traits she's going to need if she wants to become the first climber to win an Olympic gold medal.…
