Long before the rise of Empires, before the invention of the written word, and before humans ever tamed fire.
Curiosity was shaping the fate of our species.
When you think of changing the world today. What do you think of?
Maybe tech billionaires or political leaders or even superheroes.
But that isn’t the story of human advancement.
From Socrates the questioner to Einstein the patent clerk.
It’s about rebellious thinking
This podcast breaks down the messy, complicated, often accidental ways humanity has been pushed forward —and shows you exactly how you can do the same.
And how will we do it?
Starting at the dawn of civilisation this show will trace the thread of human innovation in the order it happened. One leap at a time.
A mad journey that will take me over ten years.
Each episode will be a masterclass - Dissecting one earth rattling innovation at a time. With all the nerdy details and side-quests that matter across science, economics, psychology and more:
We’ll connect dots from the past to the future:
- From Maritime navigation to Interstellar exploration
- Hamurrabi’s legal code to Algorithmic governance
- Da Vinci’s human dissection to dissecting our very own DNA
We’ll follow the patterns of history so we can also trace where they’re going.
After all - every world-changing idea is but a conversation between what has been and what could be.
Whether you’re looking to scratch an intellectual itch, understand the changes we live through or make your own mark.
Journey with us as we untangle the playbooks of the disruptors who change things here on earth and beyond.
As the saying goes - An inventor is someone who asks Why? of the universe and let’s nothing stand in between the answer and their mind.
