DeepSeek’s surprise breakthrough challenges the AI hyperscaler playbook: instead of brute-force scaling, they embraced frugality—using Mixture-of-Experts architecture, smarter data curation, and hardware-conscious optimization. This raises a key question: has AI’s future shifted from pure scale to efficiency? History favors incumbents, but constraints may now be the true engine of innovation.

This week I wrote about the concept revolving door—the movement between government and private industry. Is it a way to bring top talent into public service, or does it fuel conflicts of interest? We’ll look at examples like Elon Musk and Vittorio Colao, discuss the benefits (expertise, innovation, and collaboration), the risks (regulatory capture, public distrust), and why, in my view, the real problem is the public sector’s struggle to attract top talent in the first place.

In this episode, I explore how AI is reshaping the role of Product Managers and beyond.

Reflecting on the evolution from manual execution to system-building and now system-understanding, we discuss why strategy and writing might become even more valuable in an AI-driven world.

We delve into frameworks for adapting, like guiding AI effectively and focusing on high-value skills like judgment, collaboration, and emotional intelligence. Whether it’s shaping product strategy, aligning teams, or understanding complex systems, the key takeaway is clear: embracing AI as a collaborator while leaning into uniquely human strengths is the way to thrive.

Should we teach kids to love the game or focus on winning? In this episode, I think about how sports mirror life—balancing grit and resilience with creativity and adaptability.

Drawing from my experiences and ideas from Range by David Epstein and Grit by Angela Duckworth, we’ll unpack the lifelong value of competition and the joy of exploration.

How do these lessons shape not just how we raise our kids but how we approach challenges in life and work?

Listen in for my perspective, and as always, share your thoughts and reviews!
