Do Good WorkDo Good Work is not a label but a way of living. Author: Raul Hernandez Ochoa
Do Good Work is not a label but a way of living. It is the constant and diligent effort to achieve a new level of excellence in ones own life. It is the hidden inner beauty behind the struggle to achieve excellence. It is not perfect but imperfect. It is the effort, discipline and focus that often goes unnoticed. The goal of this podcast is to highlight that drive. The guests I have on this show emulate this drive in their own special way. Youll be able to apply new ideas into your own life by learning from them. We will also have 1on1 episodes with me where well dive into my own experiences with entrepreneurship and leadership. Every episode is designed to provide you with ideas that you can apply and grow in excellence in all areas of your life, business and career.

Every Product You Ship Has an Anthropology with Taylor Black from the AI and Venture Ecosystems at Microsoft & the Leonum Institute for AI and Emerging Technologies
Episode 334
Friday, 31 July, 2026
In this episode, I sit down with Taylor Black, who leads AI and venture ecosystem work in Microsoft’s Office of the CTO and brings a deep “better-formed humans” conviction to the AI conversation. We draw a hard line between intelligence (statistical knowing) and insight—where a human knower makes the categorical leap to “this is true,” what Taylor calls grasping the “virtually unconditioned.” We talk about how LLMs can pattern experience to help us reach insight but can’t replace judgment, and why venture building should be anthropology-first: every product ships an implicit view of the human person. We cover the risk of using AI as an oracle that shortcuts productive struggle (especially in education), the importance of humility and sustaining the tension of inquiry for product-market fit, and Taylor’s “cold storage” idea—using AI as a context engine to shelve, monitor, and revive ventures when conditions change. We close on the key builder question: not what can we build, but what ought we build?02:08 Intelligence vs Insight02:58 Statistical Knowing05:02 Virtually Unconditioned09:02 Using AI Without Outsourcing Judgment11:39 Formation in Venture Building14:19 Anthropology First Product Design17:56 Hard Rules for Human Flourishing18:53 What Ought We Build21:20 Humility and Idea Flow Playbooks24:19 Probabilistic Products and Implicit Anthropology28:48 AI as Oracle in Education34:29 Cold Storage for Venture IdeasConnect with Taylor: • https://substack.com/@pourbrew• https://www.linkedin.com/in/blacktaylor/ • https://leonum.catholic.edu/• https://innovate.pourbrew.me/Connect with Raul: • Work with Raul: https://dogoodwork.io• Free Growth Resources: https://dogoodwork.io/resources• Connect with Raul on LinkedIn (DMs open): https://www.linkedin.com/in/dogoodwork/
