Gradient Proof
A longform discussion between co-hosts Roy Peer, an architect turned entrepreneur and sci-fi author, & Steven W Sorensen, a global soul turned tech finance and corporate board enthusiast, on a wide range of topics ranging from AI to philosophy to entrepreneurship. We aim to bring on great minds, from the renown to the unknown, to discuss things we find interesting. We start each podcast sober and let the proof gradient the course of discussion. Just like Hitchcock built suspense by placing a ticking time b-mb under the table of two people having a simple conversation, the status along the gradient proof can act to end the discussion at any moment, preferably on a high note, yet sometimes leaving questions unanswered. We encourage you to drink with us, and let the questions lead you to your own answers and explorations. We hope you’ll join us on the journey, cheers.
