  How to Tell a Story That People Want to Hear with Emily Best

  Aug 12, 20261h 8m

  How do you go from having a really good story to tell, to actually getting it out into the world? This week's guest is Emily Best, the founder and CEO of Seed&Spark. Seed&Spark is the number one crowdfunding platform in the world for storytellers, having raised more than $95 million and funded thousands of projects to make entertainment more diverse, inclusive, connected, and essential. We dive deep into why stories are fundamental to who we are as human beings, and how the art of deep listening creates radical belonging. Emily shares how independent creators can bypass traditional gatekeepers, what it takes to design a life aligned with your highest purpose, and how to cultivate hope as an active daily discipline when facing massive industry shifts. Whether you are an artist, entrepreneur, or leader looking to share your mission with clarity and conviction, this conversation will challenge you to reflect on the stories you tell and the life you choose to live. In This Episode, You Will Learn Why empathy and profound care are the core ingredients of unforgettable storytelling. How crowdfunding serves as an act of community care rather than just a transaction for capital. Why stories are meant to be experienced collectively rather than consumed in isolated digital silos. The critical questions every entrepreneur and creator must ask to design a life aligned with their values. Why convenience culture is driving social isolation and how to build authentic local community networks. How to cultivate hope as a daily discipline during uncertain and challenging times.

  The Blueprint to Raising Imaginative Thinkers with Melissa Cash

  Aug 5, 20261h 41m

  A NASA study revealed that 98% of five-year-olds test at the genius level for creativity, yet only 2% of adults retain that capability. Creativity isn't something we lose naturally, it's trained out of us. How then, do we prepare our kids for a future that is bound to look very different to how things are today? In this episode of The Edge of Possible, visionary entrepreneur, CEO of Pok Pok, TIME 100 Most Influential Company recipient, and Inc. Female Founder 500 honoree Melissa Cash breaks down how to tap into childlike imagination and cultivate resilience. From translating Montessori principles into digital tools for young kids to navigating the friction of leadership and venture capital fundraising, Melissa shares a masterclass in harnessing the power of imaginative thinking for our kids, our teams, and ourselves. In This Episode, You Will Learn Why process over product is the ultimate key to preserving lifelong creative genius. How to use healthy friction and "risky play" to build true resilience in children and adults. Why moving fast on decisions beats spending months striving for perfection. Practical tools like "thinking out loud" to teach emotional intelligence without scolding. How to design corporate cultures and onboarding around deep psychological safety and vulnerability.

  The Intersection of Storytelling, Immersive Technology, and the Human Experience with Martin Rabaglia

  Jul 29, 20261h 20m

  We live in an era where technology evolves at such a rapid pace, often leaving us feeling disconnected from ourselves and those around us. But rather than isolating us, technology needs to be designed in a way that enables us to achieve what previously felt impossible. My guest this week, Martin Rabaglia, is an award-winning creative technologist, strategist, and CEO of Genosha. His work bridges emerging technology and deep human emotion, creating world-class immersive experiences for global brands like Disney, Pixar, Nike, Intel, and Pepsi. In this powerful conversation, Martin shares how we can shift our relationship with technology so that machines serve humanity rather than dominate it, how to design experiences that trigger genuine emotion, and why nurturing curiosity is the ultimate key to continuous innovation. In This Episode, You Will Learn Why the primary purpose of technology must be to serve human potential rather than capture attention. How to design brand experiences and stories that evoke deep, lasting emotional responses. How artists and creators are utilizing AI to preserve heritage, challenge algorithms, and express personal vision. The power of curiosity as a daily discipline and why investing in unstructured time drives breakthroughs. How to lead a 100% remote company and successfully implement unconventional strategies that build the company culture.

  Simulations, Robots and Choosing Hope in the AI Era with Sam Jordan from FTSG

  Jul 22, 20261h 25m

  The speed of technological change today can feel overwhelming, but when the world feels chaotic, it usually signals that structural pipelines underneath the surface are fundamentally shifting. My guest this week on The Edge of Possible, Sam Jordan, is a leading futurist exploring the frontier of human AI interaction and digital ecosystems. From her early days at IBM to advising Fortune 100 companies, Sam specializes in turning complex technological shifts into actionable strategies. In this conversation, we dive into how simulation technology and agentic AI are altering how we build and discover, the hidden cost of automating junior work, and why choosing hope in an unpredictable world is an active decision. In This Episode, You Will Learn How the combination of real time simulation technology and agentic AI is transforming product development and drug discovery. Why short term corporate incentives are driving leaders to become reactive fast followers rather than visionary planners. The hidden risk of sycophantic AI and how losing moments of professional friction impacts character development. The shift from traditional trend reports to convergence reports that analyze intersecting technological impacts. Why mobile generalist robots will revolutionize enterprise logistics and distribution before entering consumer homes. How to take radical ownership of failure to cultivate humility and long term personal growth.
