We are deep in the throes of the 4th Industrial Revolution. We engage with the greatest thinkers, futurists and innovators to explore what the 5th Industrial Revolution will be.


 

What is next for Humans? What are we Striving for?

Episode 1 w/ Dr. Arnold Glass Professor of Psychology, Rutgers

Humans are Hyper-Social animals that are explorers by nature. Therefore, our journey into space is inevitable. We will utilize new technologies as super-tools to enable this journey.




The 5th Industrial Revolution? How to Think About It

Episode 3 w/ Ed Cox EVP Strategic Alliances and Head of Digital Medicine at EVERSANA

Life in many ways imitates art. Through art and our growing access to make and consume it, we can gain a lot of perspective and know which big questions we need to be asking.

Episode 4 w/ Dr Jeff Buechner Professor of Philosophy, Rutgers

Being able to formulate consistent and rational argumentation is crucial to the foundation of critical thinking and, ipso facto, the 5th Industrial Revolution.

Episode 7 w/ Dr. Mahesh Daas President, Boston Architectural College

Design thinking is one of the many important ways to think about the 5th Industrial Revolution. Ask bigger, broader questions, and think about things differently. Robotics, design, and new thinking skills will all be crucial to the 5th Industrial Revolution, whatever it may be.

Innovation in Healthcare. Human Limitations?

Episode 13 w/ Dr. Michelle Hong, Flight Surgeon at Axiom Airspace

Space as the new frontier for Medical Research & Development, Healthcare Delivery, and Production! And did you know that space medicine is about prevention versus reaction - unlike how we practice medicine in the US.

Episode 14 w/ Dr. Shawna Pandya, Physician, Scientist-Astronaut, Instructor, Speaker, a true inspiration!

The Astronaut Mindset - essentially, a growth mindset who sees possibilities where others see problems. A team mindset. A survival mindset. And all the possibilities we can capture in space if we have the Astronaut Mindset.

Episode 2 w/ Paul Fonteyne Independent Director at Gelesis, Ypsomed, Apellis, Dalcor, Amylyx Executive in Residence Canaan Partners

A lot of the problems we face can be simplified to the “0 sum problem” to use Paul’s words. There are limited resources and even more limited ways to deploy them. Overcoming this will be instrumental to our progress as humanity.

Episode 9 w/ Dr. Kris Lehnhardt Exploration Medical Capability at the NASA Johnson Space Center

There are many things that are out of reach in the world of space travel at the moment, but there just as many exciting projects in this space that we can look forward to.

Episode 10 w/ David Keene Atai Life Sciences, Co-founder Dthera Sciences

Digital Therapeutics are an important emerging field that will almost certainly play a big role in the 5th Industrial Revolution, whether it be in space or here at home.

What is the future of Sustainability? Space Travel?

Episode 11 w/ Dr. Lembeck Professor of Aerospace Engineering, former NASA

In this episode we speak about the past, present, and future of space exploration. In trying to tackle the enigma of the 5th industrial revolution we come upon some very interesting ideas in this fantastic episode!

Episode 5 w/ Dr. Jordan Okie Center for Biodiversity Outcomes, Global Institute of Sustainability and Innovation, Arizona State

We are in a race against time and extinction. We will need to find a way to evolve through technology to survive, be it here on Earth or in our exploration of Space.

Episode 6 w/ Dr. William Ratcliff Researcher of Experimental Evolution of Multicellular Complexity, Georgia Tech

Humans have always and will always find a way to survive. No matter what we do to Earth, it will always be a more hospitable option than other places. As humans, resilience and adapting to changing circumstances is critical to our nature.

Episode 8 w/ Dr. Mariel Borowitz Space Policy, Georgia Tech, MIT

The ever expanding satellite industry and what are the most pertinent and practical space exploration endeavors could be in the near future?
