  • Why Comfort is Killing Your Success (ep 61)

    Why Comfort is Killing Your Success (ep 61)
    2025/12/26
    From flying military rescue helicopters in life-or-death missions to advising leadership teams inside global corporations, Dr. Paul Taylor explains why accountability, meaning, and psychological hardiness matter more than ever in modern work and life. Paul contrasts the peer-to-peer accountability found in small, high-trust military teams with what happens as organizations scale — where responsibility diffuses, standards slip, and people quietly “get away with it.”He introduces Dunbar’s Number (~130 people) to explain why trust, purpose, and clarity begin to erode as teams grow, and why the solution isn’t more process or hierarchy, but reconnecting daily work to mission, behavior, and shared standards of performance.The conversation goes deeper into hardiness vs resilience, hormesis, stress physiology, leadership under adversity, parenting for capability instead of comfort, and why exposure to challenge — rather than protection from it — builds confidence, health, and agency.📖 What You’ll LearnWhy peer accountability beats top-down control in high-performance teamsHow accountability erodes as companies scale and how to prevent itWhat Dunbar’s Number explains about trust, purpose, and complexityWhy startups lose alignment as they grow and how mission gets dilutedThe difference between hardiness vs resilience (and why it matters)How stress perception rewires physiology - challenge vs threat responseWhy debriefs and learning from failure are essential in elite teamsHow parents unintentionally weaken resilience and what to do instead• Practical frameworks for meaning, purpose, behavior, and leadership under stress🔔 Listen and SubscribeYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheGeneralistsPodcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2apfGY403NGr1EyTNkJfG4?si=a25c777a19854616Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/sg/podcast/the-generalists👥 HostsMichael Smith Jr.: https://www.linkedin.com/in/smittysgp/• Raz Kotler: https://www.linkedin.com/in/razkotler/👤 GuestDr. Paul Taylor: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drpauljtaylor/🔗 Resources and Links Mentioned🧠 Concepts and ResearchDunbar’s Number: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunbar%27s_numberOrganizational Silos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organizational_siloHarvard Business Review Accountability and Teams: https://hbr.org/📚 Books by Dr. Paul TaylorDeath by Comfort: https://www.drpauljtaylor.com/death-by-comfortThe Hardiness Effect: https://www.drpauljtaylor.com/the-hardiness-effect🎧 PodcastThe Hardiness Podcast: https://www.drpauljtaylor.com/podcast📚 Additional ReadingCourage Under Fire James Stockdale: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courage_Under_Fire_(Stockdale)The Daily Stoic Ryan Holiday: https://dailystoic.com/

  • Why Asia Is Becoming the Next Digital Content Hub (ep 60)

    Why Asia Is Becoming the Next Digital Content Hub (ep 60)
    2025/12/17

    From print journalism and radio to global sports media, digital platforms, and venture strategy, Unmish Parthasarathi has spent three decades operating at the intersection of storytelling, technology, and commerce. In this episode of The Generalists, he explains how cross-disciplinary careers are built in practice, why the most effective leaders today are deep generalists, and how Asia is emerging as a key center for new content and digital business models.

    Unmish introduces his Content × Code × Capital framework, showing why innovation happens in the overlap between disciplines rather than within silos. He shares the career moment that forced him to define his true craft, why he left traditional television at its peak, and how that decision led to early work in short-form digital video at the International Cricket Council. The conversation spans sport, media, gaming, education, and technology, while also touching on leadership, empathy, cultural nuance, and the life philosophy that continues to guide his decisions.

    🎙️#59 Why Legacy Game Studios Are About to Be Disrupted by AI
    2025/12/10
    From the frontlines of modern game development, Mighty Bear Games CEO Simon Davis shares a blunt reality: the traditional way of building games is collapsing — and AI-native studios are already pulling ahead. In Episode 59 of The Generalists, Simon breaks down how his team canceled Unity, rebuilt their entire pipeline, and now generates 90–95% of their code, images, animations, and audio with AI.He explains how artists with no coding background now ship fully playable mini-games in days, how Mighty Bear’s internal agentic system called Nexus blends open-source models with custom workflows, and why AI transformation keeps failing inside large enterprises while small, aligned teams accelerate. Simon also dives into why Telegram may be the next major gaming platform, how Singapore’s culture of experimentation gives his studio an edge, and why generalists — not specialists — will thrive in the next decade of game creation.It’s a rare, inside look at what an AI-native game studio actually looks like today, and why the next wave of global gaming companies won’t be built with yesterday’s tools.📖 What You’ll Learn in This EpisodeWhy Unity no longer fits an AI-accelerated development workflowHow 90–95% of Mighty Bear’s code, art, audio & animation is now AI-generatedHow Nexus integrates Stable Diffusion variants, Claude Code & custom agentsHow artists now build complete mini-games without writing codeWhy AI transformation fails in large enterprises but succeeds in small teamsWhy generalists outperform specialists inside AI-native companiesWhy Singapore outpaces Europe in AI adoptionWhy Telegram is becoming the next major gaming distribution channelHow to build a capital-efficient AI-native game studio from Southeast Asia🔔 Subscribe for more founder stories, startup wisdom & AI insightsYouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@TheGeneralistsPodcast⁠Spotify: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/2apfGY403NGr1EyTNkJfG4?si=a25c777a19854616⁠Apple Podcasts: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/sg/podcast/the-generalists⁠👥 HostsMichael Smith Jr.: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/smittysgp/⁠Raz Kotler: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/razkotler/⁠👤 GuestSimon Davis ⁠:https://www.linkedin.com/in/simondavis/⁠🔗 Resources & Links Mentioned🚀 Companies & PlatformsMighty Bear Games: ⁠https://mightybeargames.com⁠Unity: ⁠https://unity.com⁠Stable Diffusion (open-source): ⁠https://stability.ai⁠FAL (Inference Tooling): ⁠https://fal.ai⁠Telegram: ⁠https://telegram.org⁠📚 Books MentionedChip War-Chris Miller⁠: https://www.amazon.com/Chip-War-Fight-Worlds-Critical/dp/1476717975⁠I, Claudius-Robert Graves⁠: https://www.amazon.com/I-Claudius-Robert-Graves/dp/067972477X
