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?

Eilene Zimmerman noticed that the man who’d loomed large in her life for nearly 30 years - her ex-husband and father of her two children – PETER – seemed increasingly out of sorts.

He’d been looking progressively thin, seemingly preoccupied, couldn’t shake flu like symptoms and was becoming a more and more unreliable parent to their kids.

Eilene assumed Peter’s appearance and erratic behaviour was due to stress and overwork. As a senior partner at a prominent law firm, he’d been working more than 60 hours a week for more than 20 years.

But putting that aside, Peter seemed to have it all: a high-flying legal career; an exquisite waterfront property; luxurious cars, and other largesse that came with his affluent uber-successful life.
But when their son Ethan returned from a few days at Peter’s beach home, he shared with his mum, Eilene, that his dad was very sick, but despite desperate pleas, Peter refused point blank to go to hospital.

After two days of trying to reach Peter, Eilene drove to his house and made a shocking discovery.
The man she knew and loved for almost three decades had been living a secret life; one that started with pills and ended with opioids, cocaine and methamphetamine. You see, Peter was prosperous and powerful in the eyes of everyone else – but at the end of the day he was a man with demons and a lethal addiction that ultimately cost him his life.

And Eilene, Peter’s ex-wife, was left to pick up the pieces; all the pieces.

Sarah Sentilles - Stranger Care: Loving What isn’t Ours 1:07:30

منذ 1 year1:07:30

1:07:30

In the depths of Sarah Sentilles' heart, was a primal longing to become a mother. This yearning was buried beneath the desires & pressures of others. Sarah’s husband, Eric, believed the world was already brimming with children in need of loving homes. Everyone else, it seemed, whispered doubts into Sarah's ears. Parenthood, they said, would be the end of her cherished life. But the yearning within her refused to be silenced. It threatened to fracture her marriage, until Sarah & Eric made a monumental decision that would forever alter the course of their lives: to foster a child with the hope of adoption. False starts and dashed dreams tested their resilience. But a phone call finally arrived, carrying with it the news of a fragile three-day-old baby girl, desperately needing a foster family. Sarah and Eric rushed to the hospital as a couple and returned home as parents to a beautiful stranger. But the foster system, with its singular objective of reuniting children with their biological parents, served as a constant reminder of the bittersweet reality that awaited them. Shaken but undeterred by the looming heartbreak, Sarah and Eric, poured love, stability, and safety into the child they ached to call their own. Sarah's extraordinary book, "Stranger Care: A Memoir of Loving What isn't Ours," will shatter your heart, challenge your moral compass, and rekindle your faith in the inherent goodness that resides within each of us, even in the face of shattered dreams. But this isn’t merely a tale of fiercely loving someone else's child. When a writer lays bare their vulnerabilities and exposes their own frailties, eschewing self-serving narratives - as Sarah has done - you know you’ve uncovered a rare gem. Prepare yourself for an unforgettable episode of "BRAVE JOURNEYS."; one that deconstructs the very essence of motherhood, & explores the profound truth that every child who enters our lives is, at first, a stranger waiting to be discovered. This is a story of belonging & loss as well as audacious, selfless love.

Akhim Dev - The Children in the Pictures: Hunting Paedophiles 1:25:14

منذ 1 year1:25:14

1:25:14

Dear friends, brace yourselves for an episode unlike any other. In truth, it’s a conversation that’s been incredibly difficult to prepare for, but one that must be shared. Tonight, as your children lie safely in their beds, enveloped in love & protected from harm, it’s crucial to remember that this isn’t the reality for countless children across the globe. Joining me this week is filmmaker Akhim Dev – or Dev as he’s affectionately known. Fuelled by a deep concern for the online safety of his youngest daughter, it quickly evolved into something much greater. So shaken by the vast and intricate web of online sexual exploitation of children, Dev set out to expose this horrific reality through the making of the internationally acclaimed documentary, "The Children in the Pictures." This groundbreaking film takes us inside Taskforce Argos, an elite Australian police unit, as it infiltrates global criminal networks by going undercover to rescue children from the world's most depraved child abusers. Child Online Sexual exploitation is the fastest growing major crime in the world, and perpetrators are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Until recently led by one of Australia’s most decorated police officers, Detective Inspector Jon Rouse, Taskforce Argos devotes every waking moment to sifting through vast quantities of child sexual abuse materials, searching for vital clues that could help them rescue young victims. "The Children in the Pictures" has been screened in over 150 countries, leaving audiences both aghast & galvanised to play their part in the eradication of online child sexual exploitation. The film’s been screened at the United Nations, the US Congress, and the Australian Parliament. The film’s companion podcast of the same name recently won GOLD at the esteemed 2023 New York Festival Radio Awards, as well as Best Documentary at the Australian Radio Awards. But for the members of Taskforce Argos as well as Dev & his team, this calling has nothing to do with prestigious prizes, it’s all & only about saving the Children in the Pictures. Please note that this incredibly powerful and important episode of BRAVE JOURNEYS talks graphically about online childhood sexual exploitation and isn’t remotely suitable for little ears. If you know a child in immediate danger, please contact police in Australia – call 000. And if you need immediate support, contact The Kids Helpline on 1800 55 1800. If anything you hear during this episode is triggering in any way, please reach out to someone who can keep you safe. And please remember if you’re in Australia, you can phone Lifeline at any time on 13 11 14.

Ginger Gentile - Erasing Family: Loving Your Children More Than You Hate Your Ex 53:01

منذ 1 year53:01

53:01

Filmmaker & Changemaker - Ginger Gentile is on a mission to save children from the trauma of high-conflict divorce. Drawing on her own journey as a child torn between two parents, Ginger’s first documentary, ERASING DAD (Borrando a Papa), was instrumental in getting the Argentinian government to pass mandatory co-parenting laws. Her follow up feature documentary, ERASING FAMILY, exposes the heart-wrenching anguish experienced by children when a loving parent is erased from their lives. This issue affects 22 million families in the US alone. No birthdays, no holidays, no contact whatsoever. We’re taking about loving mothers & fathers who haven’t seen their children for years. Parental alienation destroys lives, bankrupts’ people, tears children from their homes, separates biological siblings, causes lifelong psychological damage & it’s a $50 billion dollar industry. Ginger works tirelessly to advocate for the rights of children and parents & is unyielding in her hopes to reform longstanding customs and laws for custody and child support that are supposed to protect children, but which she says often obliterates families. As a now in-demand consultant, Ginger coaches parents who are suffering from parental alienation, helping them reunite with their erased children and heal the estrangement caused by divorce or separation. Ginger also works to educate Family Court professionals on how to combat this silent, but truly devastating, public health crisis. Ginger’s dedication & leadership in this space have not gone unnoticed and in 2019 she was heralded as an Architect of Change by Maria Shriver.

Colin Campbell - Finding the Words 1:20:11

1:20:11

When Colin Campbell’s two teenage children - Ruby & Hart - were tragically killed by a drunk driver, he and his wife Gail, were plunged headlong into a grief so devastating they felt they might lose their minds. One second, they’re going on a family drive to their new holiday home. The next, their entire world had been extinguished. In his remarkable & courageous book Finding the Words: Working Through Profound Loss with Hope & Purpose , Colin shares their unique journey through agonizing grief and shines a desperately needed light on a new vision for mourning catastrophic loss. This includes demanding that others speak about their beloved children, from a society that’s all but programmed to send well intended but ultimately trite condolences – like - “there are no words”. Because there are words. We just have to be courageous enough to access them and hold space for others’ agony, as uncomfortable and awkward as that might be. Colin’s one person show titled, Grief: A One Man ShitShow , channels his shock, anguish and rage into a tragic-comic exploration of our culture’s inability to talk about grief. It premiered at the Hollywood Fringe Festival where it won a Best of Broadwater Award.

Jane Epstein - Complicated Courage: Sibling Sexual Abuse, The Silent Epidemic 1:11:28

منذ 1 year1:11:28

1:11:28

Imagine the unimaginable: a young girl, only six years old, enduring years of sexual molestation at the hands of her own brother. It's a chilling reality that many find difficult to comprehend. Yet, this form of abuse, known as child-on-child or sibling sexual abuse, accounts for an appalling 40% of all sexual abuse cases against children. Yes, you heard that right. FORTY PER CENT. Complicating matters further, many victims of sibling sexual trauma feel complicit in the abuse, often struggling to recognise it as abuse at all. My next guest, Jane Epstein, has not only survived this Sibling Sexual Abuse, but has become a global advocate in the field. As a young woman, Jane turned to stripping, substances & poisonous relationships to numb the pain. But when Jane became a mother of two toddlers in her early 40s, the dam finally burst. Parenthood has a way of transforming us, especially those who’ve endured abuse as children. Becoming a parent compels us to love, nurture, & protect our own kids. But it also has an incredible way of reopening old wounds & forces us to interrogate who was there to protect us when we needed it most. Jane understands this struggle all too well. Today, she’s resolute about breaking the silence & shedding light on this dark corner of the human experience. Brace yourself for a journey that will touch your heart, challenge your perceptions & leave you with a renewed sense of urgency to protect the most vulnerable among us. Please note that this incredibly powerful & important episode of BRAVE JOURNEYS talks about sexual abuse & Suicide & isn’t remotely suitable for little ears.

Scott Newgent - The Truth About Transitioning Children from a Transman 1:10:53

منذ 1 year1:10:53

1:10:53

My next guest, formerly Kellie King, was a formidable woman who seemed to have it all. A trailblazing sales executive, devoted mother of three, & a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. But at the age of 42, Kellie's world was turned upside down. Urged by her devout Catholic partner & seconded by a health professional, Kellie begins to question her own gender identity. Kellie comes to believe she’s in fact a man trapped in a woman’s body & decides to undergo a wholesale medical Transition. Kelly King is now no more & in her place is Transman Scott Newgent. But sadly, this is not a fairytale. Scott endured medical complication after complication. He lost absolutely everything – his relationship, his career, but most importantly his wellbeing. In a battle to survive, he went from one Emergency room to another, desperately trying to solve the mystery of why his health was failing him. As he begins to recover from several near-death experiences, Scott delves into the world of Gender Affirming Care & Medical Transitions. He discovers that many others, particularly children, are being pushed to rapid Medical Transition which includes puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, & experimental surgeries that are being administered with insufficient warnings or adequate research. Despite receiving death threats for speaking out, Scott is one of the loudest voices in the world calling for an immediate moratorium on the medical Transitioning of children, until they reach adulthood. Scott, was recently featured in conservative commentator Matt Walsh’s film “What is a Woman?” that’s been watched over 177 million times & counting; becoming one of the most successful documentaries of all time. Walsh, who works for the Daily Wire, has publicly credited Scott as being the undisputed hero of the film.

Dr Ingrid Clayton - Believing Me 1:16:29

منذ 1 year1:16:29

1:16:29

As a clinical psychologist & trauma therapist, my next guest, Dr Ingrid Clayton always strived to help others overcome their pain. But, little did Ingrid know that she, too, carried hidden wounds that she’d yet to fully comprehend. A fractured self-esteem, substance abuse disorder, perfectionism, & a series of dysfunctional relationships might have indicated that something was amiss, but having been raised in a bewildering haze of gaslighting , Ingrid found herself constantly questioning her own reality. It wasn't until Ingrid stumbled upon a case study by renowned psychiatrist & writer Dr. Bessel van der Kolk - which eerily mirrored her own experiences - that a profound realisation struck her: the word "trauma" held a deeply personal resonance. In her gripping memoir, "Believing Me" , Ingrid fearlessly delves into the legacy of childhood trauma inflicted by a narcissistic, abusive step-father & a broken, invalidating & enabling mother. As I often say on BRAVE JOURNEYS, Just because you don’t name it or acknowledge it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist . And yet, for those who are raised by narcissistic, gaslighting parents, they often doubt their own history, their own truth, & for many, their own sanity. But when Ingrid's step-father Randy dies, an incontrovertible calling roars from deep within her – urging her to reclaim her narrative & finally tell it in her own words.

Sometimes, you’re lucky enough to meet someone who’ll change your life in inconceivable ways. My next guest (and now forever friend – whether he likes it or not) is one such human. Dr Dinesh Palipana OAM is a Doctor, Lawyer, Disability Advocate & Researcher. And that’s just the start. He’s also a philosopher & his astonishing memoir: Stronger: How Losing Everything Set Me Free is an opus of pure inspiration. In a freak accident, three years into his Medical Degree, Dinesh sustained a spinal cord injury resulting in quadriplegia, affecting the use of his fingers, parts of the arms & everything below the chest. 8 months in hospital. More than 4 years trying to come back to life. Allow that to sink in. And yet, Dinesh is a man of firsts… The first person to graduate medical school with quadriplegia in Queensland; The first graduate Doctor with quadriplegia to begin work in the State; and The first visiting student with quadriplegia to complete an Advanced Clerkship in Radiology at Harvard Medical School. But it doesn’t stop there … so be prepared to be even more humbled & awestruck … Because in 2019, Dinesh was awarded an Order of Australia Medal & the third Australian ever to receive a Henry Viscardi Achievement Award in New York; a prestigious global honour that recognizes exemplary leaders in the disability sector. Dinesh is also the 2021 Queensland Australian of the Year. As for the rest of his illustrious Bio, you’ll have to look him up yourselves, because his contribution to Medicine and Teaching the next generation of doctors is quite extraordinary and time doesn’t permit me to showcase all that this remarkable human being has achieved. So who does this GIANT of a man look up to as his hero? His magnificent mum Chithrani.

Bad hair, heartache, chocolate pudding – almost anything could be mined for a book, a screenplay, or a newspaper column. Then when Delia was 72, a time you might reasonably expect the flow of good material to quieten, life delivers her biggest story yet, one she very nearly didn’t survive. Diagnosed with the same blood cancer that killed her beloved screenwriter sister Nora , Delia’s chance of survival, particularly because of her advanced age, was slim. But there was a double plot twist: she’d just fallen in love with a man she hadn’t seen for FIFTY FOUR YEARS – & with his love & devotion, she enters remission. Delia’s is a miraculous story of late love played out in the shadow of a life-threatening illness, as captured in her superb memoir, Left on Tenth: A Second Chance at Life , part romantic comedy, part medical drama… & it’s absolutely divine. So for anyone listening & despairing that love’s perhaps passed you by, you simply can’t afford to miss this gorgeous & inspirational chat with one half of the writers of the classic film - You’ve Got Mail. Because as enchanting as the Ephron sister’s ROM COMS are, life can be so much more magical than the movies.

Jeff Schoep - From Radical to Redemption 1:16:48

This is a very unique episode of BRAVE JOURNEYS. We’ve all heard stories of people who lived broken, crime filled lives, who have an epiphany & completely turn their lives around, harnessing the wisdoms & insights they learnt along the way, to educate & rehabilitate others. But what if the person in question is a one-time Nazi whose raison d’etre for more than three decades was to see an entire people - your people - wiped off the face of the earth? Let that sink in for just a moment … For 27 years Jeff Schoep was a member of the the largest neo-Nazi militant, racist, antisemitic organisation in the United States, the National Socialist Movement, or NSM & for 25 of those years, he was its National leader. Its repugnant mission was to create an all-white, non-semitic America. But after sitting down with victims of hate groups, Jeff walked away from extremism forever . In March 2019, Jeff publicly denounced Nazism & became the highest profile former white supremacist in America to ever publicly reject far-right extremism & hate ideology.

Professor Jessica Stern - Denial 1:11:38

منذ 2 years1:11:38

1:11:38

Have we got an extraordinary guest for you today and to be honest, unless this intro runs for the next hour all by itself, I am going to have to truncate the bio of this remarkable human being. I hope she will forgive me… Professor Jessica Stern is one of the U.S’s foremost experts on terrorism. She served on President Clinton’s National Security Council Staff, as well as being an analyst at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Jessica has lectured at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, was the Super-terrorism Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations; a National Fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution Task Force on National Security & Law; a Fellow of the World Economic Forum; a Harvard MacArthur Fellow & a faculty affiliate of the Belfer Center for Science & International Affairs. In 2001, Jessica was included among seven “thinkers” in Time Magazine’s series profiling 100 innovators. Today, Jessica is the Research Professor at Boston University’s Pardee School of Global Studies. But while Jessica’s career has indubitably reached stratospheric heights, her success hinges on her atypical post traumatic symptoms . You see, in October 1973, Jessica, then 15 and her sister Sara, aged 14, return from their weekly ballet lessons, when a strange man, armed with a gun enters their step mother’s home, in a safe neighbourhood in Massachusetts. Alone in the unlocked house, Jessica and Sara are brutally raped.

After years of struggling in a tumultuous marriage – successful writer & blogger Rebecca Woolf was finally ready to leave her husband, Hal. Two weeks after telling Hal she wanted a divorce, he was diagnosed with late-stage pancreatic cancer. Four months later, at the age of forty-four, he died. With inordinate courage & candour, Rebecca chronicles the months before Hal’s death — & her rebirth after he was gone. In her book, All of This – A Memoir of Death & Desire - which is a stunning, provocative & masterfully nuanced read - Rebecca reflects on the end of her marriage & how her husband’s devastating illness finally gave her the space to make peace with his humanity & her own. Ultimately, Rebecca’s journey is one woman’s story of embracing the complexities of grief without shame — as a mother, a widow, & a sexual being—& emerging on the other side of a relationship with gratitude & relief.

Adam Frankel - Family Secrets 1:05:25

منذ 2 years1:05:25

My next guest Adam Frankel grew up idolising his wonderful father and his father’s father, following in their footsteps to become a successful speechwriter. After graduating from Princeton University and the London School of Economics and Political Science, where he was a Fulbright Scholar, Adam joined Barack Obama’s fledgling presidential campaign in 2007, helping craft those unforgettable “Yes We Can” speeches. But around the same time, when Adam’s career was reaching its zenith, his personal life & sense of identity, was in complete & utter disarray. At 25, Adam discovers a truth about his family that unravels his entire understanding of who he is. Adam’s gripping debut book, “The Survivors: A Story of War, Inheritance & Healing”; is a memoir of family, the Holocaust, intergenerational trauma and identity - where Adam comes to terms with the legacy of his family’s painful past and learns who he is in the wake of a life-changing revelation. But above all else, Adam’s just one beautiful human being. I might just have to adopt him as a baby brother. Just a few things about this special chat… Unfortunately, the audio played up a little, so my conversation with Adam isn’t as clear in parts, as you’re used to. But please bear with us, because I promise you, it’s worth the listen. Lastly, this episode of BRAVE JOURNEYS talks about mental illness and suicide and isn’t remotely suitable for little ears.

Hillary Whittington - Raising Ryland 1:19:10

منذ 2 years1:19:10

When Hillary Whittington discovers she’s expecting a baby girl, she and her husband, Jeff, are deliriously overjoyed. Pink & white nursery – check; endless supplies of dresses and bows – check. Then, only months after Ryland is born, Hillary and Jeff realise something isn’t quite right. When they call out, Ryland doesn’t respond. After consulting with specialists, it’s confirmed that their beautiful baby girl is deaf. The miracle that is cochlear implants allows Ryland to hear and Hillary’s tireless efforts helps Ryland learn how to speak. This gorgeous couple believe they’ve overcome their toughest challenge as parents. But as soon as Ryland learns to talk, Hillary & Jeff know they HAVE to listen … I mean really listen. Because as soon as Ryland gains the power of speech, Ryland insists, “I am a boy!” After finding a deeply disturbing statistic that 41% percent of people who identify as transgender attempt to take their own lives before the age of 20, Hillary and Jeff make it their mission to love & support their child — with no strings attached. But please be under no illusion. Loving with no strings attached, isn’t always easy. Sometimes it’s downright agonizing and can be oh so isolating. And that’s what is so exquisite about the Whittingtons. They simply tell it like it is. I hope you come to love this family as much as I do.

Annie Whitlocke - The Death Doula 1:13:23

My beautiful guest today is Annie Whitlocke. Annie is a death doula. A What you ask? 40 + years on the planet and this entire profession was completely unknown to me… that is until now. Like many of you I suspect, the only context in which I’d heard of any kind of Doula was a person who provides emotional, physical and instructive support to mothers before, during and after labour. Not someone, who assists at the other end of the life cycle. But taking on this noble profession isn’t as unusual as you might think, particularly for a woman like Annie, who’s seen life end countless times. Her own experience with death is both personal & profound. Annie’s grandfather died in her arms, as did her baby nephew. She lost one husband to a fatal car accident and a fiancée to suicide. She’s tragically had six miscarriages, tried to take her own life twice and clinically died once. As a Death Doula or Death Elder as Annie prefers to be known, she’s helped hundreds of people and their families at their most difficult and vulnerable times. Annie is driven to help those who are dying, ensure that their living until the end of their life, is as good and as safe and as meaningful and as authentic & as peaceful and joyous, as it can possibly be.
