Infinite Loops
At Infinite Loops HQ, we’re just as comfortable discussing the Tao Te Ching as we are cutting-edge advances in AI.
Though our subjects vary, certain themes resurface continually. Foremost among them is the future: What will it look like? What forces are shaping it? How can we create it? Four conversations this quarter explored these questions across a range of industries.
In finance, Richard Craib gave us a glimpse into his daring vision to redefine finance via his open-source hedge fund, where data scientists worldwide collaborate to predict equity returns using artificial intelligence.
In music, Dan Runcie weighed in on the transformative power of AI, shedding light on the emergence of billionaire artists, the exaggerated death of the DJ, and the ways that streaming algorithms are reshaping content consumption.
The quantum realm was navigated by Dr. William Zeng, who walked us through some of the technological and societal implications of quantum technology while also making a powerful case for open-sourcing the quantum movement.
Finally, Dror Poleg peered into his crystal ball to predict some of the key trends shaping the future of work, with his prescient reflections on scaleability and the unbundling of ideas from execution uncannily aligning with many of our operating assumptions at OSV.
Another recurring Infinite Loops theme is how we can upgrade our outdated HumanOS so we can thrive in our rapidly changing world. After all, as our guest Julie Fredrickson told us, “Circumstances change. Humanity doesn’t.”
Executive coach Dr. Julie Gurner pinpointed simple mindset shifts that can help us unlock peak performance, while management advisor and author Luca Dellanna walked us through some of the ways that we can recalibrate how we think about topics such as productivity, risk, leadership, and personal development. Hypnotist Todd Goodwin approached this topic from a different angle, presenting hypnosis as a direct path to the root causes of our challenges.
Given OSV’s mission to help creators unleash their infinite potential, we’re always interested in talking to creators at different stages of their journey. From prolific podcaster
Danny Miranda to dynamic duo Rob Henderson & Trung Phan to LinkedIn provocateur-in-chief Jack Raines to Visualize Value visionary Jack Butcher, this quarter saw us venturing into the heart of the creator economy, lifestyle, and mindset.
Friend-of-the-show Frederik Gieschen also joined us on 90 minutes’ notice to discuss the life and work of Andy Beal, the richest banker in America.
Our Substack continues to flourish. We’re one of the only podcasts we know that publish regular deep dives into their guests. We have also shared various other pieces designed to make our readers go, “Hmm, that’s interesting!” including bonus essays from Jim, an ode to writing in the 21st century, and our weekly “Two Thoughts” roundup of snippets of wisdom from some of the greatest thinkers of history.
Speaking of wisdom, in partnership with our guest Brian Roemmele, we launched our “wisdom-keeping” competition. Brian advocates for unlocking timeless insights by using secure, offline devices to record responses to reflective questions. Enthusiastic about this soul-enriching concept, we gave away dozens of recording devices to help spotlight the dormant wisdom in society.
Next quarter, prepare for an intellectual feast, with Derek Sivers, George Mack, John Fiorentino, and many more on the menu. Stay tuned!
