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.

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!

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

37:25

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.

284: Rebranding the Stay-at-Home Mom: How You Can Take a Career Pause for Motherhood with Neha Ruch of Mother Untitled 54:14

25 weeksที่แล้ว54:14

Have you considered intentionally working less in your business or career to prioritize your motherhood? Or maybe you desire to take a career pause from your paid work to focus your time and energy on family life? These decisions can be tough ones to make, especially when it can feel like the world is telling us that we should do it all and just keep pushing harder and harder. If you're craving slowing down, softness, maybe you feel a little over girl bossing right now, or maybe you've decided you don't want a seat in the C-suite right now, but you do still consider yourself an ambitious woman, this episode is for you. I’m talking to Neha Ruch, creator of Mother Untitled about what it can look like to take a career pause or downshift your work or business. Pausing doesn't mean you're falling behind. It just means you know your priorities for the season and you're pursuing those priorities. So, in this episode, we're really talking about what that can look like and how we can start redefining how to do a pause. Neha shares about: Why the term stay-at-home mom needs a rebrand The reality of what it looks like to be a stay-at-home mom in 2024 How many American women are desiring career pauses and downshifts (and what we can do to pursue one) What a pause or downshift even is (if those terms feel new to you) What you can do to enjoy a career pause How you can use a pause to develop your sense of identity aside from your work Plus, she also talks about how you can ultimately leverage time away from the traditional workforce to network, explore, and ultimately return stronger than ever. As a mom of little kids, I felt just so honored to get to have Neha on the podcast, and I hope that you love this conversation as much as I did.

I'm sharing six things I learned from designing for myself that you can apply to your own business , whether you're customizing a website template (like one of the ones in my template shop!), or if you're simply updating your current website every now and then. My hope is that tips will help you even as a non-designer. These lessons are fresh because I literally just launched as I'm recording this (the site went live yesterday as the time I recorded this). These are things that I learned in real time that you can apply to your business. Let’s dive in!

Today, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes look into a very typical work week for me as a mom, as a business owner who works from home, and as a woman in the new baby and toddler phase of parenting. When I asked you guys what you want more of on the podcast, these kinds of episodes are always a favorite. It was actually one of the first 10 episodes of The Breakthrough Brand Podcast (which is fun to think about – because life was so different back then!). I hope you enjoy this behind the scenes (from what I do on my full work days to what I’m doing in “mom mode”. Personally, I love when people pull back the curtain and just really share the raw and real of what this looks like to run their business. And so that is truly what this is. You'll hear me check in every morning to say what I have planned for that day and then check in the evening as well to let you know how the day actually went.

Today, I’m bringing on Stephanie King from My Essential Birth to the podcast. Stephanie has been instrumental in my pregnancy and birth journey with both of my boys. I discovered her podcast early in my first pregnancy and have been a dedicated listener ever since. Her content, courses, and guidance have been invaluable . It's amazing how our paths crossed through social media, and we've since collaborated in a number of ways. Today, I'm excited to dive into a topic she doesn't often discuss: her business smarts and the journey behind My Essential Birth podcast. We’re talking about how she grew her business, what she would do differently, and what she recommends for new business owners looking to start an online course business and podcast! And spoiler alert - Stephanie’s podcast now has over 2.3 million downloads and 692 reviews! She’s served over 1500+ students in her online course, so she’s definitely an expert in the field (and it’s especially fun having her talk about the B2C world, since it’s often different from other podcast advice out there (but still highly relevant and worth considering for your own business).

279: You CAN Make Money Even as a New Podcast (Here Are 3 Things to Try) 33:18

30 weeksที่แล้ว33:18

Most podcasters don't earn as much as they could from their show. In fact, many smaller podcasts don't make any money at all, which is one reason why so many podcasters quit. Today, I’m talking about how making money from podcasting goes beyond just getting sponsors for ads. For smaller podcasts with less than a thousand downloads per episode, you likely won’t make enough on sponsorships for running a show to be “worth it” which is one of the reasons so many podcasters quit. In this episode, I’m sharing THREE ways to make money through your podcast but there are actually TEN ways I make money through my show that I’ll discuss in detail in Podcast Success Blueprint. If you want to turn your podcast into an asset for your business (that makes you money!), I’d love for you to join me inside!
