How to Change the World: The History & Future of Innovation

If you want to change the world, you need to dissect the past to build a blueprint for tomorrow.

This podcast breaks down the messy, complicated, often accidental ways humanity pushes forward—and shows you exactly how you can do the same.

This isn’t surface-level history.

Starting at the dawn of civilisation, we trace the thread of human innovation in the order it happened. Covering the stories of the world's greatest inventors and most powerful ideas.

Each episode is a masterclass - with all the nerdy details and side-quests that matter across science, economics, psychology and more. From:
- Maritime navigation to Interstellar exploration
- Hammurabi’s legal code to Algorithmic governance
- Da Vinci’s human dissection to Genome editing

Studying the patterns of history and invention shows how every world-changing idea is but a conversation between what has been and what could be. Journey with us as we untangle the playbooks of the disruptors who change things here on earth and beyond.
