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.

10 Ways to Build Discipline

Call Out a Task and Complete It
Announce a specific goal, stick to it, and celebrate the completion to build accountability and confidence.
Practice Delaying Gratification
Start small, like waiting to eat fries until you're home, and progress to larger challenges to train patience.
Commit to a 30-Day Tiny Task
Choose a simple habit, like drinking water every morning, and follow through daily without compromise.
Get Out of Bed Within 5 Minutes
Discipline starts the moment you wake up. Commit to leaving bed within five minutes of your alarm.
Make Your Bed Every Morning
Start your day with a completed task to build momentum and instill order in your routine.
Take a Cold Shower
Face discomfort head-on by enduring a cold shower daily. It’s quick but mentally tough.
Go to the Gym Regularly
Set a target number of gym days each week and stick to it, no matter the circumstances.
Finish What You Start
Whether it’s a book, a workout, or a video, follow through to the end to strengthen your resolve.
Set Rules for Yourself
Create simple, unambiguous rules—like no phone in bed—and adhere to them strictly to reinforce self-control.
Do One Thing You Hate Daily
Tackle one undesirable task each day, like making a tough phone call or finishing an overdue project, to build grit.

17. The Beauty in Tragedies & How To See the Great in All Things Bad (A Perspective Shift) 19:07

5 weeks назад19:07

19:07

In this episode, I discuss the importance of mental resilience and shifting your mindset to find the good in even the worst situations. I share a personal story (anonymized for privacy) that illustrates how experiencing adversity can prepare you to help others in similar struggles. By choosing gratitude over self-pity, you can transform setbacks into opportunities for growth and connection. I also introduce this week's challenge: no caffeine, as part of fostering discipline and stepping out of comfort zones. Notable Quotes From This Episode: "No matter how shitty your situation might be, there’s always something good that can be extracted from it. You just have to look for it." "Just because something fucked up happens to you doesn’t mean you can’t be grateful for what could have happened but didn’t." "Do I sound like Dr. Seuss? Holy shit." "Millionaire Monday, Mission Monday, Max Out Monday—I’m done." 🔵 Subscribe to my FREE Daily Newsletter (launching soon) - The Daily Excellence: https://rebrand.ly/Daily-Excellence 🔵 You can follow me at @bryson.sessions: https://rebrand.ly/Brysons-Instagram 🔵 You can apply for 1-on-1 coaching here: https://rebrand.ly/Apply-For-Coaching 🔵 You can fill out a request or suggestion form here: https://rebrand.ly/Podcast-Feedback-And-Suggestions…

16. Killshot Sunday #1 - Just Start 21:37

5 weeks назад21:37

21:37

In this Kill Shot Sunday episode, I lay out a hard truth: just start. Most people waste time overthinking names, logos, plans—when the real key is taking action immediately and figuring things out along the way. I share how I fumbled through launching my podcast, changing its name and cover multiple times, but because I started anyway, I made real progress instead of staying stuck. The same principle applies to fitness, sales, business, or any goal. Stop waiting, stop making excuses, and start today. Plus, this week’s challenge: No caffeine from Feb 2 - Feb 8. Notable Quotes From This Episode: "You don’t need to have it all figured out—you just need to start." "There are people in your future who need you to take your shit seriously today." "If you wait until everything is perfect, you’ll never begin and you’ll never succeed." "Called my first podcast B Cast. What the fuck is that?" "I spent days analyzing gym stairmaster counts like my gym life depended on it." "If you’re driving, you can pull over, do 20 jumping jacks, and get back in the car. Inconvenient though? No shit." 🔵 Subscribe to my FREE Daily Newsletter (launching soon) - The Daily Excellence: https://rebrand.ly/Daily-Excellence 🔵 You can follow me at @bryson.sessions: https://rebrand.ly/Brysons-Instagram 🔵 You can apply for 1-on-1 coaching here: https://rebrand.ly/Apply-For-Coaching 🔵 You can fill out a request or suggestion form here: https://rebrand.ly/Podcast-Feedback-And-Suggestions…

15. Your Own Personal Standards & How to Raise Them 25:20

5 weeks назад25:20

25:20

In this episode of Set the Standard Saturday (corny as hell), I talk about raising personal standards and holding yourself to them. Most people start the week strong but fall apart by the weekend, throwing away their progress in the name of "balance." Instead of waiting for Monday to start, raise your standards today. Small, incremental changes—like cutting fast food from four times a day to twice a week—compound into massive transformation. Define your identity by your standards. If you commit to high standards long enough, you won’t even consider going back to your old ways. Set the standard, hold the line, and never drop below it. Notable Quotes From This Episode: "If you wait until Monday to start, you don’t really want it." "Declare your standards, live up to them, and soon, your identity will rise to match." "The higher your standards, the less you even consider going back to your old ways." "We could be talking about alligators for fuck’s sake—who cares?" "Some of you have seen your family 20 times this month. I’ve done that in five years." "I don’t know why time works the way it does—some guy just said, ‘Let’s make a minute 60 seconds’ and now we all just go with it." 🔵 Subscribe to my FREE Daily Newsletter (launching soon) - The Daily Excellence: https://rebrand.ly/Daily-Excellence 🔵 You can follow me at @bryson.sessions: https://rebrand.ly/Brysons-Instagram 🔵 You can apply for 1-on-1 coaching here: https://rebrand.ly/Apply-For-Coaching 🔵 You can fill out a request or suggestion form here: https://rebrand.ly/Podcast-Feedback-And-Suggestions…

14. Baby Steps - That’s How 18:00

5 weeks назад18:00

18:00

In this episode of Flex Friday, I focus on small, consistent habits to build momentum in fitness and beyond. You don’t need a perfect plan to start—just pick one simple thing, like eating a piece of fruit daily, and stick with it until it becomes automatic. Over time, layer in more habits like drinking water, doing pushups, or walking daily. This compounding effect can transform your life in six months to a year. The key is consistency and starting small so it feels too easy to fail. Baby steps, stacked over time, lead to massive results in fitness and life. Notable Quotes From This Episode: "You don’t need to have it all figured out; you just need to take one small step and stick with it." "Start so small that it would be embarrassing to fail—that’s how habits are built." "If you can change your habits, you can change your entire life, one week at a time." "Bro, just eat a banana—it takes 30 seconds, and if you can’t do that, we have bigger problems." "Imagine people pulling threads on what I say—like I’m out here telling people to go to the gym naked." "We live in a world where some people just shouldn’t have internet access, and it shows." 🔵 Subscribe to my FREE Daily Newsletter (launching soon) - The Daily Excellence: https://rebrand.ly/Daily-Excellence 🔵 You can follow me at @bryson.sessions: https://rebrand.ly/Brysons-Instagram 🔵 You can apply for 1-on-1 coaching here: https://rebrand.ly/Apply-For-Coaching 🔵 You can fill out a request or suggestion form here: https://rebrand.ly/Podcast-Feedback-And-Suggestions…

13. What If Everything Goes Better Than Planned? 10:34

5 weeks назад10:34

10:34

In this episode, I introduce "Think Big Thursday" (even though I hate the name) and dive into my approach to goal setting with my "Hustle File." Instead of fearing failure, I ask, What if I went so hard that everything went right? I break my goals into levels—starting with 20 clients, scaling to 600 in three years—and focus on how massive action compounds over time. I challenge listeners to think beyond their fears, stop fixating on what could go wrong, and commit to an intense, focused period of work that transforms their lives. Notable Quotes From This Episode: "What if you committed to just 5% of your life being insanely hard so the other 95% could be limitless?" "If you only focus on what could go wrong, you’ll never see what could go right ." "What if you just kept trying, every day, no matter what? What if you changed your whole life this year?" "Think Big Thursday? Worst name I’ve come up with yet—but guess what? I don’t care." "People focus on ‘what if I fail?’ like it’s some earth-shattering event. Bro, what if you win ?" "What if you cooked up such a ridiculous, massive goal that the small, puny, itty-bitty worries in your head just disappeared ?" 🔵 Subscribe to my FREE Daily Newsletter (launching soon) - The Daily Excellence: https://rebrand.ly/Daily-Excellence 🔵 You can follow me at @bryson.sessions: https://rebrand.ly/Brysons-Instagram 🔵 You can apply for 1-on-1 coaching here: https://rebrand.ly/Apply-For-Coaching 🔵 You can fill out a request or suggestion form here: https://rebrand.ly/Podcast-Feedback-And-Suggestions…

12. Why You Shouldn’t Focus On Your Goals (Focus on THIS Instead) 9:59

5 weeks назад9:59

9:59

In this episode, I introduce "Wisdom Wednesday" (even though I think it sounds corny) and break down a powerful quote: "The man who loves walking will walk further than the man who loves the destination." I apply this to fitness, business, and life—explaining that if you love the process more than the outcome, you’ll achieve more as a byproduct. If you enjoy working out more than just wanting a six-pack, you’ll get in great shape naturally. If you love sales calls more than making money, you’ll make a lot of it. Find what process you genuinely enjoy, and success follows. Notable Quotes From This Episode: "If you love the process more than the outcome, success takes care of itself." "Find something where you can’t get enough of the thing that gets you to where you want to go—and keep doing it." "The man who loves walking will walk further than the man who loves the destination." 🔵 Subscribe to my FREE Daily Newsletter (launching soon) - The Daily Excellence: https://rebrand.ly/Daily-Excellence 🔵 You can follow me at @bryson.sessions: https://rebrand.ly/Brysons-Instagram 🔵 You can apply for 1-on-1 coaching here: https://rebrand.ly/Apply-For-Coaching 🔵 You can fill out a request or suggestion form here: https://rebrand.ly/Podcast-Feedback-And-Suggestions…

In this episode, I address my lack of uploads, announce plans for shorter, more frequent episodes, and reemphasize the value of my weekly challenges and the Blade system for mental toughness. I highlight a client testimonial showcasing the Blade's impact, stressing the importance of accountability, effort, and self-awareness in personal growth. I also promote free resources like episode 3 and the Blade PDF. Notable Quotes From This Episode: "Half the obstacles you face are rooted in a lack of discipline, clarity, and perspective." "..if you want to get better, you’ll know in your heart if you are truly trying." "The Blade system helps you let go of what doesn’t serve you and focus on what moves you forward." 🔵 Subscribe to my FREE Daily Newsletter (launching soon) - The Daily Excellence: https://rebrand.ly/Daily-Excellence 🔵 You can follow me at @bryson.sessions: https://rebrand.ly/Brysons-Instagram 🔵 You can apply for 1-on-1 coaching here: https://rebrand.ly/Apply-For-Coaching 🔵 You can fill out a request or suggestion form here: https://rebrand.ly/Podcast-Feedback-And-Suggestions…
