Transcribe →What Happens After Tomorrow? (Taking The Leap)
Jan 28, 202100:30:02Tap to summarizeIt's the season finale! We recorded this entire season virtually, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, an election, and a coup. And while we set out to explore a wide array of 'Tomorrows' on this show, more often than not, we found ourselves connecting our guests' stories to the tumult of 'Today'. In this episode, we reflect on the courage it requires to anticipate 'Tomorrow' at all, as we travel back with Matt and Sally to 2001 in our opening sketch, and conclude once more in the near future. Tomorrow hasn't happened yet; it's ours to seize, to shape, and to make better and fairer than today. So, let's take a leap. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Transcribe →Keeping The Faith In Tomorrow
Jan 21, 202100:29:48Tap to summarizeOn the eve of Joe Biden's inauguration, and two weeks after a 'mass delusional event' featured a mob of Trump supporters storming the U.S. Capitol, it's clear that whatever 'Tomorrow' brings, it will be powered by throngs of true believers--but what if the 'Tomorrow' you believe in is a lie? What if faith alone isn't enough? And do faith and truth have to be compatible? In this episode, Matt explores these questions of faith through sketches that look back to the Old Testament and ahead to summer 2021, and in conversation with John Lynn, co-founder and CEO of Cela, to discuss what faith is required to build an innovation ecosystem.
