Podcasts about models

What if there was a system that could decide who to consult for a decision in real time? How would the diversity of the available sources affect the information gathered?Scott E. Page is a professor of management, social science, and complexity at the University of Michigan. He's also the author of several books including The Model Thinker: What You Need to Know to Make Data Work for You, Complex Adaptive Systems: An Introduction to Computational Models of Social Life, and The Difference: How the Power of Diversity Creates Better Groups, Firms, Schools, and Societies.Greg and Scott discuss the importance of diverse models and perspectives in decision-making. Scott also shares insights on the evolving nature of information access and the role of AI in augmenting diversity in team decision-making processes. The conversation covers themes like cognitive diversity, the role of selection and treatment in maintaining diverse perspectives, and the challenge of fostering a healthy organizational culture where diverse ideas can thrive.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:How do we design institutions for diversity and better decisions with AI01:01:46: So how do we design, especially now with AI, institutions, organizations, whether they're for-profits, universities, governments, that creates, you know, better people in a way, right? We're so focused on the allocation or the decision that's being made. At the end of the day, the decisions and the allocations are going to be made by those people. So you're getting the outcome, but you're also getting the people. And how do we kind of—and to your point about the treatment—you also want those people to be diverse, right? And you want to allow them and encourage them to be learning new things. In fact, I think you do not want to solve it because you could not solve it, because it would be like social engineering. But I think you want to have some awareness that particular institutional structures and incentives of structures that you're putting in place are not necessarily creating the world you want—or are creating the world you want.How AI's power to curate makes culture more important than ever28:58: We all know AI can know—these are really nice knowledge maps. But the question is: when you start linking people to the knowledge maps and start saying, ‘We can dynamically bring people into the meeting and get their feedback,' now you're suddenly curating. I think AI's ability to curate, to your point, is amazing. But now, let's pull the culture thing in. How do I not feel like a gadget? How do I not feel like some sort of widget that the AI is using? I think this is where creating the right organizational team culture is going to be really important.Invisible forces behind organizational design01:01:30: What comes for free, whether you like it or not, whenever I design an institutional structure and organizational structure, are the norms, the behaviors, the beliefs, the networks—all that other stuff. The kind of dark matter that really matters for society.Why simple models fail on complex problems07:59: If you take something like inequality, it is a complex problem, right? Or the environment. It is a complex problem. Models are simple. So there is no way you can explain something complex with something simple. You are kind of explaining a 16 with a three or something. You just cannot. If the problem is this big and your model is this big, you cannot get it all. But if you have a bunch of models in conversation with one another, then I think you can, potentially, reach a deep understanding. You could predict better, right? I think it is a better way to advance science.How AI can bridge decision gaps across social inequality58:12: People who come from families who are well socially connected, who have wealth, who are educated—they get good advice on big decisions that maybe other people do not get. And you can go to the internet to get advice, but you are going to get it pointing in a thousand directions. The question is: will there be ways to have—like, will banks, will others—will they develop AI that they say, “Look, okay, we are going to approve this, but why do you not, you know, use this software and go through this process? It may help you think about particular things.”Show Links:Recommended Resources:Keynesian EconomicsJames G. MarchMarkov ModelPorter's Five ForcesCharlie MungerBayesian StatisticsPhilip E.

I also open up about a very real moment in my life—getting out of a toxic relationship and realizing how much I was dimming my light to be “chosen.” We're not doing that anymore, babe. It's time to choose yourself. If you're ready to stop begging for breadcrumbs and start magnetizing what you truly deserve, this one is going to light a fire under you.

An unexpected journey from Hong Kong to Texas formed the backbone of Adam Coleman's story as he recounts how discovering airbrush stencils abroad eventually led him to become the North American distributor for Liang Models. What began with worn-out stencils and an email inquiry transformed into a passionate business venture connecting Chinese manufacturing innovation with the American modeling community.Coleman walks us through the fascinating evolution of Liang, founded in 2019 by architect and senior modeling judge Yusheng Liang. Their product line has expanded to approximately 90 items across three core categories: vinyl airbrush stencils, specialized modeling tools, and diorama accessories. The Zimmerit tools rank as their bestsellers, but newer innovations like the centered hole driller and handle bender showcase the thoughtful engineering behind each product.What distinguishes Liang from competitors is their commitment to education. Each product features a QR code linking to instructional videos, making complex techniques accessible to modelers of all skill levels. Coleman's distribution philosophy prioritizes geographic exclusivity for brick-and-mortar retailers while supporting online vendors in different regions, creating a collaborative rather than competitive marketplace.The episode then pivots to an exciting preview of the 48th annual Huntsville Plastic Model Society show scheduled for August 23rd. Tom Clark details how this well-established event has evolved to embrace emerging trends like Gundam modeling with expanded categories. With 62 vendor tables already sold out, food trucks (including milkshakes!), and proximity to the famous Space and Rocket Center, the show delivers a complete modeling experience for attendees.Whether you're interested in discovering innovative new modeling tools or planning to attend what promises to be an outstanding show in Alabama, this episode provides valuable insights into the ever-evolving world of scale modeling.

Is intelligence just compute plus data? And if so... what happens next? In this episode, Dwarkesh Patel, host of one of the most respected AI podcasts and author of “The Scaling Era”, joins us to break down the exponential rise of artificial intelligence. We explore how scaling laws became the engine behind modern models, why AI still can't learn on the job, and whether we're truly on the brink of AGI. From coding to consciousness, from geopolitics to governance, Dwarkesh shares a grounded but urgent perspective on what it means to live through the transition and how we might prepare for what's coming. ------

In this episode, hosts Matt Brown and Dr. Andrew Vallo explore different equity models for dental associates and executives, focusing on how ownership opportunities can help retain top talent. They explain the steps involved in offering equity, the qualifications associates must meet to earn it, and the valuation methods used for equity purchases. The discussion also emphasizes the importance of a strong hiring and onboarding process, along with clear communication about equity expectations. Additionally, they address the potential for extending equity opportunities to executive roles, especially as a dental organization expands.

Send us a textSurviving trauma isn't evidence of brokenness—it's proof of extraordinary strength. Yet traditional therapy approaches often miss this crucial reality, focusing instead on deficits and pathology while forcing survivors to relive painful experiences without first creating safety.In this powerful conversation, therapist and trauma survivor Oli Doyle joins David and Ruth to challenge conventional therapeutic wisdom that keeps trauma survivors stuck in cycles of shame and self-blame. Together, they explore how true healing begins with recognizing the remarkable resilience that allowed survivors to endure seemingly impossible circumstances.“How the hell are you sitting in front of me still alive, still breathing? How have you done that?” Oli asks his clients, shifting focus away from pathologizing trauma responses toward honoring the ingenuity that enabled survival. This perspective represents a radical departure from approaches that ask, "What's wrong with you?" instead of, “What happened to you and how did you survive it?”The discussion delves into how trauma lives in our bodies, requiring more than verbal processing for healing. Ruth explains, “You can't talk your way out of a body response. You have to use body-based strategies to help the body get through that moment.” This embodied understanding of trauma recognizes that memories live in our tissues, manifesting as behaviors that once served protective functions but may now cause suffering.Beyond individual healing, the conversation challenges the cultural narrative that personal choices determine outcomes regardless of context. As Oli notes, “What we've been taught in colonial cultures is that contexts and structural factors don't matter. If you just make the right choices, you'll have a good life.” This individualistic perspective serves systems of power while obscuring how structural inequities shape trauma and limit options.For mental health professionals, this episode offers a powerful invitation to examine implicit biases and deficit-focused approaches. For survivors, it provides validation that survival itself represents an extraordinary achievement worthy of recognition and respect. And for everyone, it illuminates how honouring survivor strengths rather than focusing on brokenness creates pathways to genuine healing and post-traumatic growth. Now available!

What does it look like when billion-dollar funds put impact at the core of their investment strategy?In this 3-in-1 compilation episode, we revisit conversations with investors managing tens of billions across public fixed income, public equities, private equity, and impact-focused real estate. Each one makes the case that environmental and social outcomes aren't a tradeoff – but a source of lasting value and market-beating returns.Meet the leaders turning billions into measurable impact:Michele Giddens, Co-Founder and CEO of Bridges Fund ManagementBridges was launched in 2002 with £40 million – including just £10 million in catalytic capital. Today, it manages over £2 billion across private equity, impact real estate, and outcomes contracts. From the start, its mission has been to invest in solutions that drive both a more inclusive economy and a more sustainable planet – ideally, both at once. Michele describes their theory of change simply: addressing systemic social and environmental challenges isn't a tradeoff – it's a way to unlock high-performing markets. Whether it's converting inefficient office buildings into low-carbon co-living hubs or financing housing solutions for marginalized youth, Bridges targets overlooked problems with market-driven solutions.Full episodeBen Dear, Founder and CEO of Osmosis Investment ManagementOsmosis was built on a simple but overlooked idea: companies that generate more economic value while using less carbon, water, and waste will outperform. Ben believed resource efficiency wasn't just good for the planet – it could be a consistent, data-driven investment factor.He was right. Today, Osmosis manages over $17 billion in global public equity strategies, all powered by their own proprietary environmental data. They collect and standardize metrics across carbon, water, and waste – giving them a lens on corporate performance that most investors miss.Their low-risk flagship targets just 0.5–1% above benchmark returns – yet still outperforms two-thirds of global equity funds on Morningstar. Their higher-alpha strategies deliver 2–3% annually, while cutting portfolio footprints by up to 70%.Check out the full interview: Part 1Part 2Stephen M. Liberatore, Head of ESG and Impact for Global Fixed Income at NuveenNuveen manages just over $1 trillion globally – and Steve oversees more than $20 billion of that in ESG and impact-focused public fixed income, across 38 distinct funds.While most associate impact with private markets, Steve has built one of the world's largest impact bond strategies by focusing on public debt. His theory of change is rooted in scale: in 2023, public fixed income financed over $800 billion in climate transition – ten times more than private equity and venture combined.Every security in Steve's portfolios must deliver a direct, measurable environmental or social outcome. That means no sustainability-linked bonds with vague KPIs. Instead, the team targets use-of-proceeds instruments that reduce financing costs for projects like clean energy, affordable housing, and ecosystem restoration – while delivering market-rate returns.Full episode—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK

# SummaryIn this conversation, Tim Abell and David Sheardown explore the challenges and innovations in productivity tools and AI coding assistants and the overwhelming landscape of AI tools available for software development.The dialogue delves into the nuances of using AI in coding, the potential of multi-agent systems, and the importance of context in achieving optimal results.They also touch on the future of AI in automation and the implications of emerging technologies.# TakeawaysAI is reshaping the workplace, requiring adaptation from professionals.Understanding engineering problems requires a structured approach.AI coding tools are rapidly evolving and can enhance productivity.Providing clear context improves AI coding results.Multi-agent systems can coordinate tasks effectively.The landscape of AI tools is overwhelming but offers opportunities.Understanding the limitations of AI tools is crucial for effective use.Innovations in AI are making automation more accessible.It's important to balance AI use with traditional coding skills.The future of AI in software development is promising but requires careful navigation.# Full detailsIn this episode of Software Should Be Free, Tim Abell and David Sheardown delve into the rapidly evolving landscape of AI-powered coding assistants. They share hands-on experiences with various AI coding tools and models, discuss best practices (like providing clear project context vs. “vibe coding”), and outline a mental model to categorize these tools. Below are key highlights with timestamps, followed by a comprehensive list of resources mentioned.Episode Highlights00:05 – Introduction: Tim expresses feeling overwhelmed by the proliferation of AI coding tools. As a tech lead and coder, he's been trying to keep up with the hype versus reality. The discussion is set to compare notes on different tools they've each tried and to map out the current AI coding assistant landscape.01:50 – Tools Tried and Initial Impressions: David shares his journey starting with Microsoft-centric tools. His go-to has been GitHub Copilot (integrated in VS Code/Visual Studio), which now leverages various models (including OpenAI and Anthropic). He has also experimented with several alternatives: Claude Code (Anthropic's CLI agentic coder), OpenAI's Codex CLI (an official terminal-based coding agent by OpenAI), Google's Gemini CLI (an open-source command-line AI agent giving access to Google's Gemini model), and Manus (a recently introduced autonomous AI coding agent). These tools all aim to boost developer productivity, but results have been mixed – for example, Tim tried the Windsurf editor (an AI-powered IDE) using an Anthropic Claude model (“Claude 3.5 Sonnet”) and found it useful but “nowhere near 10×” productivity improvement as some LinkedIn influencers claimed. The community's take on these tools is highly polarized, with skeptics calling it hype and enthusiasts claiming dramatic gains.04:39 – Importance of Context (Prompt Engineering vs “Vibe Coding”): A major theme is providing clear requirements and context to the AI. David found that all these coding platforms (whether GUI IDE like Windsurf or Cursor, or CLI tools like Claude Code and Codex) allow you to supply custom instructions and project docs (often via Markdown) – essentially like giving the AI a spec. When he attempted building new apps, he had much more success by writing a detailed PRD (Product Requirements Document) and feeding it to the AI assistant. For instance, he gave the same spec (tech stack, features, and constraints) to Claude Code, OpenAI's Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI, and each generated a reasonable project scaffold in minutes. All stuck to the specified frameworks and even obeyed instructions like “don't add extra packages unless approved.” This underscores that if you prompt these tools with structured context (analogous to good old-fashioned requirements documents), they perform markedly better. David mentions that Amazon's new AI IDE, Kiro (introduced recently as a spec-driven development tool) embraces this “context-first” approach – aiming to eliminate one-shot “vibe coding” chaos by having the AI plan from a spec before writing code. He notes that using top-tier models (Anthropic's Claude “Opus 4” was referenced as an example, available only in an expensive plan) can further improve adherence to instructions, but even smaller models do decently if guided well.07:03 – Community Reactions: The conversation touches on the culture around these tools. There's acknowledgment of toxicity in some online discussions – e.g. seasoned engineers scoffing at newcomers using AI (“non-engineers” doing vibe coding). Tim and David distance themselves from gatekeeping attitudes; their stance is that anyone interested in the tech should be encouraged, while just being mindful of pitfalls (like code quality, security, or privacy issues when using AI). They see value in exploring all levels of AI assistance, provided one remains pragmatic about what works and stays cautious about sensitive data.29:57 – Models + 4 Levels of AI Coding Tool: Tim introduces a mental model to frame the AI coding assistant ecosystem (around 29:57). The idea is to separate the foundational models from the tools built on top, and to classify those tools into four levels of increasing capability:Underlying Models: First, there are the core large language models themselves – e.g. OpenAI's GPT-4, Anthropic's Claude (various versions like Claude 1.* and 2, including fast “Sonnet” models and the heavier “Opus” models), Google's Gemini model, as well as open-source local models. These are the engines that power everything else, but interacting with raw models isn't the whole story.Level 1 – Basic Chat Interface: Tools where you interact via a simple chat UI (text in/out) with no direct integration into your coding environment. ChatGPT in the browser, or voice assistants that can produce code snippets on request, fall here. They can write code based on prompts, but you have to copy-paste results – the AI isn't tied into your files or IDE.Level 2 – Agentic IDE/CLI Assistants: Tools that deeply integrate with your development environment, able to edit files and execute commands. This includes AI-augmented IDEs and editors like Windsurf Editor (a standalone AI-native IDE) and Cursor (AI-assisted code editor), as well as command-line agents that can manipulate your project (like the CLI versions of Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, or Gemini CLI). At this level, the AI can read your project files, make changes, create new files, run build/test commands, etc., acting almost like a pair programmer who can use the keyboard and terminal. (For example, Windsurf's “Cascade” agent mode and Cursor's agent mode allow multi-file edits and running shell commands automatically.)Level 3 – Enhanced Context and Memory: Tools or techniques focused on feeding the model more project knowledge and context (sometimes dubbed “context en...

At its best, parametric insurance delivers clarity when volatility strikes. But scaling that promise takes more than models: it takes real claims data, market feedback and the ability to solve for both reinsurers' confidence and cedents' earnings risk. In this episode, Matthew Grant speaks with Matt Coleman, Chief Risk Officer at The Demex Group, a reinsurance MGA using a new modelled loss index to reshape how the market covers severe convective storms, one of the fastest-growing sources of weather-driven loss. Our conversation picks up where our previous webinar left off, and explores how Demex has grown distribution, secured broker support and validated its approach in a live risk environment. In this conversation Matt touches on: Why 2025 has already seen above-average tornado, wind and hail activity and how recoveries are already flowing How Demex's RCR Re cover mimics indemnity but pays out on a modelled index Why omitting sensors and relying on robust weather and claims data reduces basis risk The advantages of training models on cedents' actual ground-up claims, not diluted industry averages What reinsurers want in secondary peril covers and how Demex packages risk to match that appetite Why broker engagement has been critical to growth, and what their clients are asking for What it means to build in response to a genuine market problem not just to push a technology Along the way, Matthew and Matt talk about why carriers are willing to share granular claims data when the product is strong enough and why early validation matters in parametric.

Andrew Beer and Tom Wroble return to join Niels Kaastrup-Larsen for a timely examination of how trend following is adapting, and why some say it may be losing its edge. Tom unpacks new research showing a quiet drift toward slower models, raising the question of whether CTAs are evolving or converging. Andrew pushes back on the prevailing wisdom around diversification, suggesting that complexity often obscures cost rather than delivering true value. From shifting model speeds to the incentives shaping manager behavior, this is a conversation about what trend following is becoming... and what investors risk overlooking as some strategies grow more complex in pursuit of outperformance.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Andrew on Twitter.Follow Tom on LinkedIn,Episode TimeStamps: 01:52 - What has caught our attention recently?06:11 - Industry performance update07:44 - Wrobel's perspective on the current CTA environment09:32 - Key findings from Wrobel's recent paper14:51 - The shape is key for managing risk17:26 - How changes in the underlying managers affect replication strategies22:10 - Is there such a thing as a happy "medium" in trading speed?28:09 - Are replication strategies less challenged when selecting markets?33:35 - The structure of an allocator36:12 - How much tracking error is acceptable in replication?42:14...

Fal.ai, once focused on machine learning infrastructure, has evolved into a major player in generative media. In this episode of The New Stack Agents, hosts speak with Fal.ai CEO Burkay Gur and investor Glenn Solomon of Notable Capital. Originally aiming to optimize Python runtimes, Fal.ai shifted direction as generative AI exploded, driven by tools like DALL·E and ChatGPT. Today, Fal.ai hosts hundreds of models—from image to audio and video—and emphasizes fast, optimized inference to meet growing demand.Speed became Fal.ai's competitive edge, especially as newer generative models require GPU power not just for training but also for inference. Solomon noted that while optimization alone isn't a sustainable business model, Fal's value lies in speed and developer experience. Fal.ai offers both an easy-to-use web interface and developer-focused APIs, appealing to both technical and non-technical users.Gur also addressed generative AI's impact on creatives, arguing that while the cost of creation has plummeted, the cost of creativity remains—and may even increase as content becomes easier to produce.Learn more from The New Stack about AI's impact on creatives:AI Will Steal Developer Jobs (But Not How You Think) How AI Agents Will Change the Web for Users and Developers Join our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game. 

When DeepSeek, Alibaba, and other Chinese firms released their AI models, Western researchers quickly noticed they sidestepped questions critical of the Chinese Communist Party. U.S. officials later confirmed that these tools are engineered to reflect Beijing's talking points, raising concerns about censorship and bias. Learn more about your ad choices.

A groundbreaking Harvard study trained AI on 10 million solar systems and found it perfectly predicted orbits but completely failed to understand gravity, raising questions about whether LLMs can develop true world models. While companies pour billions into scaling, Meta's Yann LeCun believes current systems will be "obsolete within 3-5 years" and argues that world models could revolutionize AI by giving machines genuine understanding of physical reality. This explores three competing paths to AGI, why Google DeepMind is hiring world model teams, and whether we're looking at the missing piece for human-level AI.Brought to you by:KPMG – Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://kpmg.com/ai⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to learn more about how KPMG can help you drive value with our AI solutions.Blitzy.com - Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://blitzy.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to build enterprise software in days, not months AGNTCY - The AGNTCY is an open-source collective dedicated to building the Internet of Agents, enabling AI agents to communicate and collaborate seamlessly across frameworks.

Back in 2010, Tableau beat smarter tools with a better demo. No brain, all charm and the market loved it. Fast-forward to now: same playbook, new costume. The AI dashboard crowd is selling “natural language BI” with zero semantic model, zero memory, and a whole lot of LinkedIn swagger. In this episode, Rob and Justin revisit why Tableau's empty-calorie approach won the first round, and how that same mistake is about to flood the AI + BI space all over again. Turns out, you can still sell snake oil if you call it GenAI. Rob breaks down how an elite MIT course managed to skip LLMs entirely, how a flashy Tableau blog post went viral for connecting a CSV, and why “AI-ready” vendors keep duct-taping chat interfaces onto raw SQL and hoping no one looks under the hood. But the real story? Microsoft is sitting on the most powerful data brain in the game, and if they land the front end, it's game over. This isn't just a history lesson. It's a blueprint for seeing through the hype and betting on what actually works. If you're building, buying, or betting on AI tools, listen in before you get dazzled by the demo.

In this episode, Brian shares insights from ongoing human aging studies, including clinical trials of rapamycin and how dosing strategies, timing, and exercise may influence outcomes. He presents two key models of aging—one as a linear accumulation of biological decline and the other as an exponential rise in mortality risk—and explains why traditional models of aging fall short. He also explains why most current aging biomarkers lack clinical utility and describes how his team is working to develop a more actionable biological clock. Additional topics include the potential of compounds like alpha-ketoglutarate, urolithin A, and NAD boosters, along with how lifestyle interventions—such as VO2 max training, strength building, and the use of GLP-1 and SGLT2 drugs—may contribute to longer, healthier lives.

What does it take to rebuild after disaster as a business leader, a homeowner and a policyholder? Garret Gray has spent his career trying to improve how insurers and property owners respond to damage. As President of Insurance Solutions at Cotality (formerly CoreLogic) and founder of Next Gear Solutions, he's been at the centre of building tools for claims, risk assessment and recovery. But this year, the conversation became personal. A wildfire tore through Garret's neighbourhood in California, forcing an emergency evacuation and leaving his home heavily damaged. That experience has shaped the way he thinks about risk, resilience and the urgency of modernising the systems we rely on. In this episode, Matthew Grant speaks with Garret about what he's learning, not just from running a technology platform, but from living through the very risks his business is built to address. Garret reflects on: What the industry often underestimates about “secondary” damage and long-tail claims Why speed not just coverage is critical in claims response How Cotality is using AI to streamline damage assessment, measurement and documentation Where underwriting still falls short on using granular property data effectively The potential for aerial imagery, building code data, and mitigation scoring to improve pricing The evolving role of regulators, particularly in high-risk states like California He also shares what it takes to keep innovation alive inside a larger company and why so many of the original founders of acquired businesses are still working alongside him today.

Jacob Visovatti and Conner Goodrum of Deepgram speak with host Kanchan Shringi about testing ML models for enterprise use and why it's critical for product reliability and quality. They discuss the challenges of testing machine learning models in enterprise environments, especially in foundational AI contexts. The conversation particularly highlights the differences in testing needs between companies that build ML models from scratch and those that rely on existing infrastructure. Jacob and Conner describe how testing is more complex in ML systems due to unstructured inputs, varied data distribution, and real-time use cases, in contrast to traditional software testing frameworks such as the testing pyramid. To address the difficulty of ensuring LLM quality, they advocate for iterative feedback loops, robust observability, and production-like testing environments. Both guests underscore that testing and quality assurance are interdisciplinary efforts that involve data scientists, ML engineers, software engineers, and product managers. Finally, this episode touches on the importance of synthetic data generation, fuzz testing, automated retraining pipelines, and responsible model deployment—especially when handling sensitive or regulated enterprise data.

Today's guest is Josh Haddock, Director of Contact Center Technology at Herbalife. Herbalife is a global health and wellness company that develops and sells nutritional products, personal care items, and weight management solutions through a network of independent distributors. With operations in over 90 countries, Herbalife combines direct selling with a strong focus on community, personal coaching, and customer education. Josh joins the program to share how his team is redefining customer and distributor support in a highly relationship-driven business. Josh explains why adopting AI in the contact center starts with understanding the full journey—from digital engagement to live conversations—and why personalization is about more than just using someone's name.
