Kamal and I talk about his philosophy for loving oneself and how to do it. The day we recorded I was actually in the midst of a pretty deep depression and so it was telling that Kamal's message was to love myself, which I do believe is the way to get to the root of the depression. 

Check out Kamal's book here (or search for "Love yourself like your life depends on it" on Amazon:

The answer from James:

"When it creates problems, rather than dissolving them."

If you like the episodes with Kapil and with Kunal you will like this one. Be warned I kept the long pauses as well. Enjoy the pregnant silences!

We also discuss the topic of using your strengths to help support the areas where we are weak.

Krystal runs a business that is past 100 employees and she has a lot of insight into what it means to build such a business from the ground up. If you are starting or running a business this is a good episode for you to listen to.

Also if you happen to feel like a 3rd culture kid this would also be interesting for you as Krystal shares her experience with that.

This is the second time I've had Kunal on the show. He gives a great description of what the study of philosophy does to our desires as well as the way he found his way out of some problems that the study of philosophy presents.

This is the second episode of my 2 part series with the founders of FathomAI. Here we go into the actually biomechanics behind the relationship between technology and injury prevention. I really had fun with this one! Hope you enjoy.

This was a very fun episode where I sit down to talk with Ivonna about the device her company (FathomAI) built to help people exercise with less injuries. We talk about the subjective and objective components of injury prevention as well as a little bit into the biomechanics of what their product is measuring.  I enjoyed it so much that I then interviewed her technical cofounder about more of the biomechanics and I'll be releasing that this monday.

Josh and I have a conversation about the latest in AI research and he gives me the breakdown on what is Unsupervised learning and what is Supervised learning. This would be a good one to listen to if you fear the AI apocalypse (doesn't seem likely).

Jani and I talk about how his company helps people in India who don't speak English leverage the internet to reach their goals. This is one of the episodes of the series I'm doing on the rise of innovation outside of Silicon Valley. 

This company is particularly interesting for me because there are linguistic borders to the internet and Lokal is breaking them down for people who don't speak English in India. There are a lot of languages in India. I'm trying to do the same with my podcast with the languages of Spanish, Portuguese, and French and will soon be publishing those episodes on other channels.
