Episode notes

People need to be aware of when they're against something because it has no value, or because they're afraid of what it's disrupting. In their current states of remote work, i think a lot of people were protecting this idea of how they've worked for so long. And now there's actually less of a trade off there. So the present state of remote work is very different from five years ago.

What do airplanes, railroads, and jazz music have in common? They were all innovations that people feared.

In fact, if you look into any key technology shift from the past, you'll find a wealth of fear, uncertainty, and doubt surrounding it. And while this shouldn't be surprising, we can still learn from the skeptics of the past.

We can learn just how difficult it is to predict what's to come and look toward our future with a humble perspective, an acceptance that we probably will get it wrong again.

In this episode, Calvin and Steph talk through how people viewed inventions seemingly as innocuous as the bicycle or teddy bear, what we can learn from these stories, and how to stay open minded and capitalize on opportunities as technology takes us into the future.
