Road Work Ahead
We stand on the brink of disruption that will change the world in ways we could never imagine. Artificial Intelligence, Data Privacy, Cybersecurity, and the Future of Work have converged to create a perfect storm of fear and hope.
How do we respond as business owners, workers, and humans? This podcast explores the many answers to that question. This is not a forum for wild speculation or doom-and-gloom, end-of-the-world posturing. Instead, we are navigating disruption the same way we navigate a freeway under construction: When you see the bright orange sign that shouts "ROAD WORK AHEAD" you slow down, pay attention, and look out for the drivers around you.
Join me as I seek out and interview the people who are embracing disruption and committing themselves and their organizations to a brighter future.
