The Coronavirus Effect

This show was launched at the start of the Coronavirus pandemic. We discussed the unprecedented changes caused by the coronavirus with various thought leaders and industry insiders. The show helped us understand and navigate the changes going on around us. These are all key elements for the direction of my new show - "How to Change the World" - The history and future of Innovation. On my new show I tell the chronological history of innovation: The world's greatest technology breakthroughs and their innovators. The frameworks, mental models and forces that create global disruption. If you want to journey through the creation of our modern society from tree dwelling apes to technology wielding sapiens, you can find the new show wherever you get your podcasts.
