01 The Generational Pendulum Why does every generation overcorrect? Challenge, overcorrection, recalibration. The lens underneath every episode. 20 episodes · 1 with guests Explore → 02 The Future of Childhood Are we raising adults, or kids? The generation shaped by screens is the workforce, and society, you will lead next. 16 episodes · 9 with guests Explore → 03 AI, Up Close AI moves faster than our questions. Which are we not asking? Not panic, not hype. The wave where under-reacting costs the most. 8 episodes · 1 with guests Explore → 04 Staying Relevant We keep meeting the future unprepared. What if you didn't? Reading the next shift early, from people who built through the last ones. 6 episodes · 3 with guests Explore →
