Andy and Brendan are just about ready to head down to Ponte Vedra for a "major" March event, but we've already missed out on one Players tradition! Andy can't believe that the yearly TPC Sawgrass arrival videos did not make it into Sunday's Arnold Palmer Invitational broadcast. NBC couldn't cut away from a duel between Daniel Berger and Akshay Bhatia on the back nine that ended with Akshay's third playoff win on the PGA Tour. The two break down Bhatia's comeback win and standing in the game as one of the premier players under the age of 25. The constant comparisons between Rickie Fowler and Arnold Palmer and some complaints from Justin Thomas regarding the setup at Bay Hill also feature prominently in this Arnold Palmer Invitational recap. The Players DID release their featured groups on Sunday afternoon, leaving a spot for an injured(?) Rory McIlroy and a struggling Justin Thomas to be on non-stop coverage for the first two rounds. Andy's "Event of the Week," the Puerto Rico Open, was "must see TV" with a leaderboard full of young talent including John Daly II, Blades Brown, and winner Ricky Castillo. Patrick Reed notched another DP World Tour top 10, but could not stop the blaze of Dan Bradbury at the Joburg Open. Brendan then shifts the conversation to Jon Rahm's win at LIV Hong Kong, his first individual win since 2024. Neither Brendan nor Andy are moved much by this win for Rahm and point out that maybe playing a LIV schedule is not the best preparation for a major championship, unlike the test presented by Bay Hill this week. Lastly on results, Zach Johnson is one-for-one in his Champs Tour career, taking down the James Hardie Pro Football Hall of Fame Invitational! Sorry to all Ben Crane bettors, as he finished outside of the top 30 in his Senior Tour debut. This Gambling Podcast regrets the error. Check back on Tuesday as Andy and Brendan go live(?) to preview the 2026 Players Championship! Thank you to Optum for their support of our Players Championship coverage.

Akshay Verma, COO of SpotDraft explores his non-linear journey through the legal industry. From his early days as a big-law paralegal to lawyer to a business development role to leading legal operations at tech leaders like Facebook and Coinbase, Akshay shares his unique perspective on why the most successful legal departments prioritize process over technology. The conversation dives deep into the realities of Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM), the evolution of the "agentic" legal tool, and why change management is the biggest hurdle for legal innovation. Akshay also discusses the "underdog mentality" that drew him to the startup world and the future of AI in legal workflows. Key Takeaways: Process First: Technology is not a "magic pill" for broken workflows; centralized repositories and defined approval chains must come first. The Power of BD: Business development skills (evangelism and resilience) are critical for successful legal operations leaders. The "Holy Trifecta" of Legal Tech: Every department needs a CLM, a Spend Management tool (at scale), and an agentic Workflow/Intake tool. AI vs. Lawyering: AI will replace non-legal tasks, not the lawyers themselves, making AI literacy a new standard for the profession.

What happens to “us” when we're no longer the smartest beings on the planet?In our brand new episode, technologist and global innovation leader Akshay Chopra discusses his debut novel After Us, exploring a world transformed by SUI, a self-aware, benevolent superintelligence that questions the very definition of life and humanity.Tara and Akshay dive deep into the fascinating (and often terrifying) intersections of science and fiction, from the "Longevity Escape Velocity" that could grant us 400-year lifespans to why humans may never truly understand an AI's motives, and how Akshay conceived SUI not as an invention, but as a fallible, evolving being.The conversation goes on to explore why science fiction remains largely untapped in India, despite its wealth of technologists and storytellers, and how our fear of AI may stem from humanity's own history of driving other species to extinction. Akshay also shares his journey of publishing his novel through Jaico and his shift from a "pretentious" writing style to a simplified narrative. By stripping away the jargon, he makes the looming reality of our future impossible to ignore.If the AI takeover keeps you up at night, this episode is just for you!Books, Movies, and TV shows mentioned in the episode:Frankenstein by Mary ShelleyBlack Mirror (2011)Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah HarariHer (2013)Star Trek (2009)Children of Time by Adrian TchaikovskyThe Monk Who Sold His Ferrari by Robin SharmaAutobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa YoganandaRubaiyat of Omar Khayyam by Omar KhayyamA Sound of Thunder by Ray BradburyChildhood's End by Arthur C.

Akshay Verma is the Chief Operating Officer at SpotDraft and a former environmental lawyer whose career spans law firms, legal operations, and executive leadership in tech. In this episode, Akshay shares what it felt like to leave firm life, take a financial risk for his family, and build a career that better aligned with how he wanted to live and work.Lawyer Side HustlesAlongside his executive career, Akshay has become deeply involved in teaching and mentorship. He teaches at Santa Clara Law University and regularly speaks to law students and early-career lawyers about the evolving nature of the legal profession. These roles allow him to reflect on how dramatically the landscape has changed since he graduated and to help students see opportunities that didn't exist when he was in their position.“The world is literally your oyster right now,” Akshay Verma expresses in Episode 225 of You Are a Lawyer.While Akshay doesn't frame this work as a traditional side hustle, it reflects a meaningful extension of his professional identity. Through teaching and public speaking, he contributes to reshaping how lawyers think about success, fulfillment, and career flexibility. His work outside his day job reinforces the idea that a legal career can be expansive, iterative, and deeply personal, not just confined to a single title or track.This episode is produced by Skip the Boring Stuff, a podcast strategy company for business owners and creatives.
In this episode of the B2B Go-To-Market Leaders Podcast, Vijay Damojipurapu speaks with Akshay Doshi, SVP of Sales at SpotDraft, about building repeatable value in B2B SaaS—and why great go-to-market is ultimately about elevating customers, not just closing deals.Akshay shares his journey from SDR to sales leader, including formative lessons from customer success, enterprise account management, and scaling sales teams during uncertainty—most notably, building SpotDraft's GTM engine just as the pandemic reshaped buying behavior worldwide.The conversation explores how modern GTM leaders can design sales motions that mirror the customer experience, create trust through expectation-setting, and build systems that scale culture—not just revenue.They dive into:Why Akshay defines GTM as go-to-repeatable value, not just pipeline or quota.How experience in customer success makes sales leaders more credible and effective.Designing sales processes that reflect the onboarding and delivery experience customers will actually receive.Building trust by saying “no” to the wrong customers—and why it pays off years later.Scaling a sales culture through values, micro-wins, and cultural carriers.How sales and marketing must operate as a single orchestration layer, not separate functions.Lessons from scaling SpotDraft through outbound, word-of-mouth, and customer love during COVID.Why AI in legal tech requires careful expectation-setting, not hype-driven positioning.Advice for aspiring GTM leaders: learn adjacent functions early and think like an operator, not just a seller.This episode is a deep, practical look at how modern sales leaders can build durable GTM systems by aligning value, culture, and customer outcomes.Connect with Vijay Damojipurapu on LinkedInConnect with Akshay Doshi on LinkedInBrought to you by: stratyve.com
Technology innovator Akshay Chopra joins the Futurists to discuss his new book: “After Us: A Tale of Life Beyond Superintelligent AI.” In this work of speculative fiction, Chopra posits scenarios of a world dominated by a benevolent superintelligence. Topics include: the challenge of envisioning a positive outcome in a world organized by AI; the perils of AI-induced delusions; AI as an evolution of mankind, not a substitute for humanity; the Dataism philosophy and the Panspermia hypothesis; the appeal and relevance of magical realism; how AI denialism is a form of grief processing as we mourn the loss of our status as a species; the struggle to think exponentially instead of linearly; the threats that Akshay thinks we should be concerned about.

In this episode, we chat with Akshay Agrawal, co-founder and CEO of Marimo, about how their reactive Python notebook fixes hidden state, keeps outputs in sync, and makes reproducible, reviewable code the norm.Akshay shares Marimo's origin story, how its reactive DAG turns notebooks into clean, Git-friendly tools, and why teams are ditching Jupyter-to-Streamlit pipelines for simpler, reactive workflows.

In this episode, Asim, Amrita, and Sujoy revisit the cult chaos that is Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani (2002) — the film that somehow managed to combine Terminator, The Matrix, Nagina, and 2000s melodrama into one glorious fever dream. From Armaan Kohli's muscle suit to Raj Babbar's “religious Voltron” pendant, no absurdity goes unexamined. The team breaks down how this film became a cornerstone of “so bad it's good” Bollywood, complete with CGI skeletons, ghost revenge plots, and a cast that includes everyone from Sunny Deol and Akshay Kumar to Sonu Nigam and Rambha. Expect unfiltered laughter, film trivia, and several “why did we watch this?” moments.

Akshay Nanavati is not your typical adventurer — he's a former Marine, a survivor of war-induced PTSD, and a seeker of what he calls the “crucible of suffering.” In this deeply introspective and intensely raw conversation, Akshay explores how pain, guilt, and darkness became vehicles for transcendence in his life. From confronting suicidal despair and alcoholism to dragging sleds across frozen wastelands in Antarctica, Akshay shares why he deliberately ventures into physical and psychological extremes. He talks about the paradox of finding peace in chaos, the value of darkness retreats, the necessity of knowing when to quit, and how pushing to the edge can awaken a deeper meaning in life. This is a conversation about discipline, purpose, and the pursuit of inner freedom through radical self-mastery. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
