Ashton Eaton, Olympic Glory & What Comes Next
As a two-time Olympic gold medal winning decathlete, Ashton Eaton is one of the few people who ever held a legitimate claim to the title "most athletic person in the world." After retiring from professional athletics, he joined South Park Commons to navigate his career transition. With the 2024 Olympics kicking off, we were honored to have him join us to talk about what it takes to be the best in the world-and what the best in the world do when it's time to figure out what's next.

    Really great panel! Loved Peter’s take on “attaching” yourself to a tidal wave that is problem driven (carbon emissions) rather than capability driven (gen AI or crypto). I listened about a month ago YC new podcast (called Lightcone I think) where it said that it’s a very interesting market situation with genAI where companies are actually paying for the solutions but it doesn’t have a PMF because they’re not really using it. It’s just for a sake of having an “AI strategy” 47:56

    I no longer feel that almost anyone wants to be honest, or is even capable of it. I have become horrified by what I observe in the people I know, the companies I've worked for, and it's more horrifying to think that I may be the same but simply lack insight. I'm now homeless and think more and more about death. Perhaps making a career of talking and writing about honesty is a satisfying endeavor after a person has inherited the love, support, and economic advantages of affluence. For those born in mucky trenches, having a deep love of the truth feels like masochism and suicide.

    Propaganda is a problem eh. One lie begets ten regardless of the motivation. External enemy of Putins mafia empire not withstanding, US PRopaganda / advertising industry already is muddying the waters. eg Global warming is a hoax, tobacco is harmless, gun control laws dont stop massacres but more guns do, low taxes & wages make the poor richer, theres not enough evidence to prosecute the VAST financial crimes that caused the GFC, Iraq has WMD’s so we need to invade it & Afghanistan because of 9/11, etc
