A personal podcast that focuses on innovation, education and the impact on the future of all of things. Technology is one of the driving forces that are creating a time of exponential change and opportunities, and these podcasts are my reflecting and sharing to raise awareness and spark conversation amongst a broad base of listeners. Thanks for joining in on these important and exciting conversations.
All thoughts in this podcast are my own and are not directly affiliated with where I work.
Some of the most consequential changes shaping our future are happening in places we rarely think to look. This week on Shape of Tomorrow, I explore two fascinating developments that challenge conventional assumptions about innovation, technology, and what's possible. Both remind us that the next great breakthrough might not come from inventing something new, but from reimagining something we've known for generations.
I'm also looking ahead to speaking at the Canadian Association of Independent Schools (CAIS) Heads and Chairs Conference, where I'll be exploring leadership, institutional change, and the challenge of preparing organizations for futures we cannot yet fully imagine.
As we approach the conclusion of Season 4, this episode is a reminder that the future rarely announces itself. The question is whether we're paying enough attention to recognize it when it begins to emerge.

Episode 206 - What If the Future Is Arriving Faster Than We Can Understand It?
Technology has always changed the world. But what happens when the pace of change begins to exceed our ability to understand what it actually means?
In this week's episode of Shape of Tomorrow, I step away from the usual technology headlines to explore a question that's been on my mind lately. Are we entering a period where our ability to innovate is moving faster than our ability to adapt?
From artificial intelligence and the future of work to education, organizational strategy and leadership, I reflect on what happens when the assumptions we've spent decades building our lives and institutions around begin to change.
It's a more personal and reflective conversation this week, one that I hope challenges how you think about the future and perhaps even how you're preparing for it.
Because the question may no longer be whether we can keep up with technological change, but whether we truly understand the world it's creating.
Thanks for listening!

Episode 205 - The Future of Computing Is Becoming Invisible
The future of computing may be changing in ways that are easy to miss if we focus only on the latest product announcements. In this episode, I look at OpenAI’s new agentic direction and what it could mean for the future of apps, then turn to AMD’s acquisition of World Labs and why world models may become such an important part of AI’s next chapter.
I also share a special personal announcement that I’ve been looking forward to making for quite some time.
This is really an episode about signals, about noticing when something that looks incremental may actually be pointing to a much deeper shift. Listen in, and let me know what you think we may be underestimating.
