My guest today is Jakob Eliason. He's one of the co-founders of Pickleball Pop Ups. 'Pickelball as a service' as Jakob describes the concept. This one was fun because that's the foundation of what Jakob and his partner and team are doing with the sport. We had a great conversation about the business model, financialization, and where this idea all began. Spoiler: like a lot of good ideas, it started with craft beer.

My guest today is Faisal Hoque. He has a new book, Transcend: Unlocking Humanity in the Age of AI.

Our conversation covers a lot of territory including frameworks to make your use of AI effective. We talk about humanity and the important things that AI can't do.
