In this special Nordic Visionaries edition of the Innovation Storytellers Show, I am joined by one of the most influential architects of our time, Bjarke Ingels, founder of BIG, Bjarke Ingels Group. From reimagining the clean port of Copenhagen to designing the first permanent human habitat on the Moon, Bjarke's work challenges conventional thinking about architecture, sustainability, and innovation. In this expansive conversation, Bjarke reflects on his early passion for graphic novels and how that artistic instinct evolved into a career that shapes skylines and societies alike. He introduces listeners to the Danish concept of form giving, the idea of shaping not just objects but the frameworks of human life. From Bhutan's Galefu mindfulness city to NASA's lunar base, Bjarke reveals how his designs are rooted in ancient culture and future potential. Listeners will hear how nature, not as an ornament but as a collaborator, inspires Bjarke's vision. Whether allowing vines to invade his home office or designing a ski slope atop a waste-to-energy plant, he demonstrates how sustainability and pleasure coexist. He shares his philosophy of “hedonistic sustainability” and makes a compelling case that what's good for the planet can also improve our quality of life. Bjarke also discusses material innovation, from using bacteria to brew carbon-free concrete to printing structures with moon dust. He explains how earthly or extraterrestrial constraints can unlock some of the world's most transformative ideas. This episode is more than a journey through architecture. It invites us to rethink how we design our lives, cities, and shared future.  

What if your social media experience weren't controlled by an algorithm or a corporation, but by your community? That's the idea behind Blacksky, a decentralized project built on the AT Protocol — the same infrastructure powering Bluesky. Though their names contain the same suffix, it's important to know that Blacksky is not hitching its wagon to the Bluesky app, team or platform. The community, helmed by founder and CEO Rudy Fraser, is charting an independent and ideally replicable path, the kind that's only possible in an open-source ecosystem.   In this episode of Dot Social, Fraser takes host Mike McCue under the hood of Blacksky's infrastructure, philosophy, and future plans. Highlights include discussions of:Mutual aid and community buildingThe value of portable identityLessons from running Blacksky so farModeration, tools and business modelsBuilding for longevityMentioned in this episode:Rudy's ATmosphere conference talk, “Beyond Horseless Carriages”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZN8y8kVFFIRudy's blog post, “An internet of many autonomous communities”: https://blog.rudyfraser.com/an-internet-of-many-autonomous-communities/Blacksky Labeler: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:d2mkddsbmnrgr3domzg5qexfCypher: https://github.com/blacksky-algorithms/rsky/tree/main/cypherRsky-Relay: https://github.com/blacksky-algorithms/rsky/pull/87SAFEskies: https://github.com/blacksky-algorithms/SAFEskiesNew Yorker article mentioning Rudy: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/04/14/blueskys-quest-to-build-nontoxic-social-media

The complex challenges of our interconnected world demand new approaches to discovery and collaboration. In this powerful episode from NASA Convergent Aeronautics Solutions Project in collaboration with Shoshin Works, innovation expert Teri Schindler tackles how the traditionally chaotic "first mile of innovation" can be transformed from a bottleneck into an accelerator of breakthrough solutions.With decades of cross-disciplinary expertise spanning DARPA research projects, Emmy-winning media production, and pioneering work in global sports distribution at the NBA/WNBA, Schindler brings a uniquely qualified perspective to innovation systems. She reveals how siloed expertise across disciplines is hampering our ability to solve critical societal problems at speed and scale. With knowledge publications doubling every 12 months and talent distributed unevenly across institutions, our old systems of connection are failing precisely when we need them most. Through evidence-based frameworks designed to create "structured serendipity," Schindler demonstrates how introducing the right connective tissue between disciplines creates the essential conditions for transformative discovery.Highlights:ARPA-H's innovation breakthrough: 500+ ideas from all 50 states in just 10 days revealed critical blind spots in women's health while fast-tracking a $25M investment in revolutionary personalized medicine technology The collapse of connection: Research confirms broadcasting platforms are failing at meaningful knowledge exchange, with purpose-driven communities delivering 40% higher signal-to-noise ratios in discovery networks Productive friction: Evidence requirements in knowledge networks democratize access beyond elite institutions while dramatically increasing idea quality, transforming how cross-disciplinary breakthroughs emerge Building the innovation interstitium: Creating the essential connective tissue between disciplines that enables accurate ecosystemic intelligence in our most complex societal challenges The poly-intelligence revolution: Flagship Pioneering's framework for integrating human creativity, computational scale, and natural systems to create renaissance-level problem-solving capabilities in previously siloed domainsGuest: Teri Schindler, Co-founder and CEO of Herzog & Schindler and the owner of Polyplexus.comHosts: Dyan Finkhousen, Founder & CEO, Shoshin WorksMarco Annunziata, Co-Founder, Annunziata + Desai PartnersSeries Hosts: Vikram Shyam, Lead Futurist, NASA Glenn Research CenterDyan Finkhousen, Founder & CEO, Shoshin Works

Today, it is my pleasure to speak with Kim Kamin, partner and Chief Wealth Strategist at Gresham Partners LLC, an independent multi-family office serving about 120 separate families nationally. At Gresham, she leads the development and implementation of estate, wealth transfer, philanthropic, educational, and fiduciary planning activities. Kim is an adjunct professor at Northwestern University Law School and is on the faculty for the University of Chicago Business School in executive education. She is on the UHNW Families & Family Offices Committee of the Trusts & Estates Magazine Editorial Advisory Board and is a Regent for the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel, Past President of the Chicago Estate Planning Council, Planning Chair for the annual ALI-CLE Large Estates program, and Estate Planning & Legal Issues Domain Chair for the UHNW Institute. Trusts are one of the most popular estate planning vehicles, especially in the US and a few other international jurisdictions, and Kim shares her views on how and why trusts came to be so widely used to plan and execute intergenerational wealth transitions, and how trust documents and the associated estate planning strategies evolved in the past few decades. We are at the outset of the “Great Wealth Transfer” and trusts – both ones that have been in place for decades and ones that are being newly created – are once again at the center of wealth planning conversations. Kim offers her thoughts on some of the current trends and developments in estate planning and how thinking and usage of trusts is changing or evolving. One practical advice Kim puts forth is to pay attention to the “the small things” when creating or working with trusts and estate plans, and highlights some of the frequently neglected details our listeners should be mindful of. Another valuable tip Kim recommends is to draft trust documents for flexibility. She talks about what that entails and what both wealth owners and family advisors in our audience should consider to be able to make better use of trust documents and other estate planning tools. You would not want to miss this conversation with one of the most knowledgeable, respected, and active thought leaders in the family wealth and estate planning space.

It's not like when you start working for a couple years and you get comfortable and then all of a sudden the industry just completely shuts down.” — Andrew Lewis  “The feedback loop opportunity that I was getting was so tight and so condensed that I was like, ‘I'm advancing at a really fast rate here, and if I just keep at this, who knows where it's going to go'. And 14 years later, I feel like that feedback loop is still active – I'm still really learning and growing daily.” — Andrew Lewis “It was really rapid growth for where I [was] in my career. And I can't say that was because of me. That was really because of the environment that I was placed in.” — Andrew Lewis  “This knowledge of when to speak up and when to say something and when to take action – I can't say that anyone taught me that. I think that's that's just a thing [where] maybe there's a bit of it inside of you, and then there's a bit of nurture as well.” — Andrew Lewis  Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Andrew Lewis on LinkedInNK ArchitectsAIANCARBFitwelTractionPhishTrey AnastasioThe Prof G Pod with Scott GallowayCherelle ParkerLeadership Blueprints PodcastMCFAMCFA CareersBJ Kraemer on LinkedIn

In this episode, I answer a question from the Architecting community about negativity. As a leader, you have to deal with situations that can be downright adverse at times.  Here's why talking about it isn't a bad thing. Your brain is hardwired for negative bias as a survival instinct, so we naturally see what's wrong before what's right. That can be leveraged for good as it can paint a more complete picture. It can also be demoralizing and seen as a way to shut something down. See a challenge instead of a problem. How can you be resourceful about meeting the challenge? What opportunities is it giving you to learn or hone your skill set? What holes in your work is it allowing you to fix? Build on what you are learning instead of shutting it down by saying yes and instead of no but... Stop fighting.  Fighting relies on polarizing the situation, making the other party wrong. Instead, assume positive intent. This let's you build on feedback instead of proving you are right. Conflict is a growth. It lets us consider a more diverse point of view as well as to see how we can improve. We can't do that if we are relentlessly positive and ignore anything we don't agree with.

This week we take a look at Bevy, a new game engine written in Rust. And in particular, we look at a core component of Bevy that has something to teach you even if you never write a game: its Entity Component System, or ECS. An ECS is an approach to managing complex systems with large numbers of moving parts, that takes some inspiration from the Relational Database world, and a little from Functional Programming to build something entirely unique and surprisingly high-performance.Joining us to explain all is Alice Cecile. She's part of the Bevy foundation, which is charting a course from data-management and rendering tool to fully-featured game development environment. A journey they've made huge progress on, but still expect to take another decade to come to full fruition. We look at the core ECS, and the wider project-management approaches they need to make the journey.–Support Developer Voices on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DeveloperVoicesSupport Developer Voices on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@developervoices/joinBevy: https://bevyengine.org/Bevy Examples: https://bevyengine.org/examples/Flecs (C++): https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecsTiny Glade (game): https://store.steampowered.com/app/2198150/Tiny_Glade/Alice on Mastodon: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@alice_i_cecileKris on Mastodon: http://mastodon.social/@krisajenkinsKris on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/krisjenkins/Kris on Twitter: https://twitter.com/krisajenkins

Having a no good, terrible, very bad day? In this episode, I answer a question from a  member of our Architecting community on how to have more good days and how to be more gentle with yourself on those less than good ones. It's tempting to overgive on a bad day because you feel guilty, but that's the worst thing you can do because stress impacts your focus, cognitive ability, creativity and mood. Reserve 25% of your energy for self care each day. On a low energy or stressful day it's even more important to be gentle with yourself. Make a hard day easier by taking time to reset, prioritizing low key tasks that give you small wins and finding fun and enjoyable ways to keep momentum going like hand sketching or model building. Build up resources you can leverage. Delegate more to others and build up their skill sets, know who you can ask for help, hire support for errands, childcare, or homekeeping.

“Coupling is an inherent part of system design, not something that is necessarily good or evil. How we design coupling can take our system either towards complexity or towards modularity." Vladik Khononov returns to the podcast to discuss his latest book “Balancing Coupling in Software Design”. In this episode, Vlad revisits the essence of coupling, a term often not fully understood, and explores its implications on software complexity and modularity. Vlad introduces the concept of shared lifecycle and shared knowledge, revealing the hidden dependencies that can undermine even the most well-intentioned designs. He also explains complexity through the lens of the Cynefin framework and delves into the differences between essential and accidental complexity. One of the episode's highlights is Vlad's unique framework for evaluating coupling. He introduces the three dimensions of integration strength, distance, and volatility, providing a practical model for assessing and balancing coupling in software design. He also challenges traditional definitions of modularity, emphasizing the importance of knowledge boundaries. Whether you're a seasoned tech lead or an aspiring software engineer, this episode offers invaluable insights into building maintainable and modular software systems. It will leave you with a deeper appreciation for the delicate balance between coupling and complexity.   Listen out for: Writing about Coupling - [00:03:28] Coupling - [00:06:09] Shared Lifecycle & Knowledge - [00:08:17] Cynefin - [00:12:28] Essential vs Accidental Complexity - [00:19:00] Modularity - [00:22:45] Abstraction & Knowledge Boundary - [00:29:04] 3 Dimensions of Coupling - [00:36:25] Balancing Coupling - [00:58:11] 3 Tech Lead Wisdom - [01:02:30] _____ Vladik Khononov's BioVlad Khononov is a software engineer with extensive industry experience, working for companies large and small in roles ranging from webmaster to chief architect.

While many discussions in this field tend to center on hard technical skills or the latest cyber threats, this episode shifts the focus to the often-overlooked soft skills that can drive success.Evgeniy Kharam, who is also an author and holds a key position in his company, shares insightful perspectives from his newly released book 'Architecting Success: The Art of Soft Skills in Technical Sales.' According to Evgeniy, effective communication and connection are foundational elements not just for sales engineers and teams, but for anyone working in any field, including cybersecurity. He notes that regardless of how advanced one's technical skills might be, the ability to connect with people, convey ideas clearly, and build lasting relationships is crucial.One of the primary points that Evgeniy discusses is the changing landscape for sales engineers. He mentions that the role has evolved significantly over the years. Previously, sales engineers primarily focused on giving demos and technical presentations. Today, they are expected to be deeply involved in the sales process, understand procurement intricacies, and effectively communicate technical merits and business values. HostSean Martin addresses the barriers that often exist within organizational cultures, where roles are tightly defined, and stepping outside of one's designated lane can be frowned upon. Evgeniy suggests that this old-school mentality needs to shift. Everyone in a company—from engineers to marketers and beyond—is involved in sales in some way. From making a strong first impression to ensuring clear and intentional communication, soft skills can enhance every aspect of organizational interaction.The duo also touches upon the importance of continuous self-improvement. Evgeniy advises that one of the best ways to practice soft skills is outside the workplace. Whether making a cashier smile or engaging in meaningful conversations with strangers, these efforts contribute to refining one's ability to connect and communicate effectively.Sean Martin concludes the episode by highlighting that everyone is, in essence, always selling something—whether it's a product, a service, or simply themselves. The more refined these soft skills, the better positioned anyone will be to achieve success in their respective fields. For those interested in taking a deeper dive into this topic, Evgeniy's book is a must-read, offering practical tips and strategies to help professionals hone their soft skills and, ultimately, architect success.About the BookIn today's crowded marketplace, technology alone isn't enough. Architecting Success equips sales professionals and anyone in tech and science to unlock their full potential through the power of soft skills.Architecting Success: The Power of Soft Skills in Technical Sales. Connect to Sell More is a practical guide for architects, sales professionals, and anyone in the technology and science sectors to enhance their effectiveness. The book begins by exploring the historical dynamics between sales and technical teams, emphasizing how soft skills can bridge the gap between these traditionally siloed groups. It highlights how focusing on mentoring, problem-solving, listening, teamwork, and empathy can connect to increase sales.Here is a call to action for technical sales professionals to embrace and cultivate their soft skills.

Show NotesIn this episode we speak with Charles Humble, climate polymath and author, about why we as software engineers should think about energy consumption of our workloads. We also talk about how nascent legislation and standards are turning externalities into real costs, forcing  innovation that gives us more control over software energy usage. Charles has encyclopedic knowledge of the history of the industry and is a former CTO himself, so his judgments are practical, realistic,  and applicable. It's easy to become cynical when you learn that our industry uses about 300TWh per year, about the consumption of Brazil. What I admired about Charles is that despite his knowledge, he was optimistic. He used a comparison to acid rain, to bring home “We can fix this problem,”  and goes on to tell us how we can do the same for tech industry as well. Listen to learn that there may actually be useful things you can do, now and in the future, to shape your system's energy usage and energy policy of the large hyperscalers. Our Guest, Charles HumbleCharles Humble is a freelance consultant, author and podcaster.

Welcome to Dreaming in Color, a show hosted by Darren Isom, a partner with The Bridgespan Group, that provides a space for social change leaders of color to reflect on how their life experiences, personal and professional, have prepared them to lead and drive the impact we all seek. In this episode, we welcome Erika Alexander, an actress known for iconic roles like Maxine Shaw in Living Single, Detective Latoya in Get Out, Cousin Pam in The Cosby Show and many others. Outside of acting, Erika wears many hats including activist, entrepreneur, creator, producer, and director. In 2017 Erika founded Color Farm Media, a media company dedicated to building an ecosystem that fosters greater equity, inclusion, and diversity in media and that empowers and elevates voices who are underrepresented, overlooked, and undervalued. Some of Color Farm's social impact films include John Lewis: Good Trouble and The Big Payback, about the reparations movement. Join this conversation as Darren and Erika discuss the significance of her iconic character Maxine Shaw from Living Single and how that led to the so-called “Maxine Shaw Effect” which inspired many young women to pursue careers in leadership and law.
