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.

We are talking about a fun topic — business mistakes. Woohoo! This episode is definitely NOT a highlight reel, and I’m actually getting quite vulnerable sharing some of the not so fun stuff. I’m sharing 4 lessons I learned my first year as an entrepreneur.

Instead of just showing you the wins in my business, I want to show you the mistakes. I haven’t been in business that long, and I’ve already learned so much from those mistakes I made in my first year. I want to share my mistakes with you so that you can learn from my mistakes AND know that you’re not alone if you’ve made some of the same ones. 4 lessons I learned my first year as an entrepreneur. Here are some mistakes to avoid, so you can survive your first year as a small business owner.

While I do call these things “mistakes”, it’s a different feeling than the regretful type of mistake. I’m super happy that my business has unfolded the way it has. But, things would have gone a lot smoother if I had realized some key things sooner. I believe that there are opportunities inside of every failure. If you let yourself learn from your mistakes without holding resentment and without beating yourself up, you can find those "secret opportunities" that lead to big-time growth! I hope you can learn from these mistakes too!

Here are big mistakes to avoid, so you can survive your first year as a small business owner!

Episode Highlights:

- 4 big mistakes I made my first year of business and what I wish I would’ve done instead

- The big mistake I made when naming my business the first time around

- The thing I used to hide and blend in early on

- How my first product launch was a complete failure

- How my scarcity mindset affected my faith and relationships

- Two bad client experiences I had and why they were really my fault

307: A Candid Conversation About Making a Shift to The Breakthrough Brand Podcast (+ a REAL Look at How I Make Big Business Decisions & a Q&A) 50:47

8 วันที่แล้ว50:47

50:47

Big changes are coming to the Breakthrough Brand Podcast! In this episode, I’m sharing a personal and business update that’s been months in the making—I’m shifting the podcast to a seasonal format and taking a three-month break from releasing new episodes. But don’t worry, this isn’t a goodbye! To be clear, I’ll still be actively working in my business and the podcast itself is NOT ending. I’ll be back soon with fresh content, and I’m excited to share the reasons behind this shift, how I made this decision, and what I’ll be focusing on during this break. If you’ve ever wondered how to balance content creation, business growth, and life’s changing seasons, this episode is for you. I’ll dive into why I’m making this shift, what it means for the future of the podcast, and how you can apply the same intentional decision-making to your own business. Plus, I’ll answer some questions you might be wondering about this change and what you can do while the podcast is on pause. Let’s dive in! Timestamps for the Q&A of things you might be wondering (in case you end up wanting to skip around): Be sure to listen to the first part of the episode as well where I explain this shift. 17:46 - Why are you choosing to take a break from something that is profitable? 19:20 - Do you think revenue will go down when you stop having weekly episodes? 22:36 - Was this a data decision or a gut decision? 24:13 - How do you make a gut decision like this? What was the process? 28:19 - Do you have any advice on making tough business decisions? 31:14 - What marketing efforts are you keeping? 33:20 - Do you think that will work fine for every business owner to take a content creation break? 34:47 - You've shared how most of your customers come through SEO/podcast... Do you think that will be affected? 37:19 - How did you decide on the break format? (Seasons versus airing every other week) 39:54 - What will you be doing with the time this podcast break frees up? 41:46 - Are you decreasing the amount you’re working (less than two days a week)? 44:25 - Now that we’ve talked about my business decisions, what should you do while there’s a break?

303: The Surprising Secret to Avoid Burnout & Grow Your Business: How You Can Prioritize Your Health in Life’s Busiest Seasons with Shaela Daugherty 1:01:09

5 weeksที่แล้ว1:01:09

1:01:09

In today’s episode, we’re talking about prioritizing health and wellness as busy women who are juggling businesses, chasing kids, managing marriages, maintaining friendships, and nurturing faith. With so much on our plates, our health often takes a backseat. Our guest today is Shaela Daugherty, host of the Simple Fitness Habits podcast. She’s a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach who believes that every woman can build a healthy, fit lifestyle—no matter what season of life they’re in. In this episode, we discuss why the busiest time in your life is actually the best time to prioritize your health. She shares simple, practical ways to focus on wellness without overwhelming your schedule or mental energy. We cover topics like hitting protein goals, incorporating rhythms for health and fitness as a busy mom, and even reframing the idea of our bodies as temples through scripture. I absolutely loved this conversation. After recording, I told Shaela how motivated I felt—I immediately got up, ate some protein, and went for a walk! I hope this conversation leaves you feeling just as inspired. And if you’re listening in late January or early February, right after those ambitious New Year’s resolutions may have started to fizzle, consider this your reset. Let’s dive in!

If you’re craving clarity, focus, and a sense of purpose as you head into 2025, this episode is for you.

296: 7 Christmas Tradition Ideas for the Whole Family (+ How to Bring Jesus into Your Home for the Holiday Advent Season) 37:25

13 weeksที่แล้ว37:25

Welcome to this year’s Christmas episode! This isn’t a business-related podcast today—it’s a fun, friend-to-friend chat with plenty of practical ideas to help you enjoy the Christmas holiday season. We’re talking about Christmas tradition ideas, both with and without kids, and specifically ways to bring God more into the season. I’ve got seven tradition ideas to share, and I’ll talk about each one based on things like how old your kids are or whether you have kids at all. For context, I have two kids, and my oldest is almost three and a half, so that’s the age range I have in mind for some of these. But many of them work really well for older kids or even just for you and your whole family. This episode is filled with inspiration for making the holiday season more intentional, joyful, and Christ-centered. Whether you're a parent, a couple, or celebrating solo, you’ll find ideas to bring new life to your Christmas traditions.
