The Episode Map

This show is dedicated to dissolving barriers between disciplines and opening channels for collaboration and innovation. Instead of a simple list of guests that have been on the show, we are building an interactive episode map, organizing the interviews as nodes on a web that connect the disciplines we explore.As we add more guests, conversations, and topics to that map, we will start to bring guests together and add episodes (connecting nodes) that include round tables, debates, and conversations at the intersections of different expertises, with the goal of solving complex problems through collaboration.
