Live
WhatComesNext.Live
A podcast recorded and broadcast live, each a thirty-minute conversation with an inspiring leader.
Over 100 shows were recorded between mid 2020 and the early 2023 and are archived here.
I restarted in January 2024 aligned to my current “North Star” of “Knowledge Speaks, Wisdom Listens”, though noting that I have now paused for the summer from May onwards so that I can go for gravel bike rides on Wednesday evenings.
Carpe Diem, and see you back after the summer!
