Most conversations about tech focus on what’s already happened. Today, we’re talking to Evan Spiegel, co-founder and CEO of Snapchat, to discuss the future. From Gen Z consumption habits, to Snapchat’s constant evolution, to the repeatable processes behind creativity and design, this episode explores the tension between innovation and humanity in our changing world.

Tune in for lessons on:

✅ The impact AI has on Gen Alpha & the future of learning

✅ The future of AR, wearables, and human computing

✅ Creativity as a repeatable process (and how to become more creative)

✅ The hidden tension between technology and human relationships

✅ Evan’s practical dating advice (hint: skip the game-playing)

✅ Why Evan believes America needs to think in 100-year timelines again

This episode is funny, thoughtful, deeply optimistic, occasionally chaotic, and packed with ideas about where technology and humanity may be headed next.
