21 Mar Introducing TILT the Future – the podcast

TILT the podcast

Welcome to TILT the Future – a podcast full of possibilities where we talk about the Future of Work. At a moment of immense change, this podcast talks about the little things that are within our power to do, or micro decisions that we can make, that can tilt our journey through life. Because standing still in the face of upheaval and uncertainty does not help in the long run.

While this podcast is focused on young & emerging adults, particularly Generation Z, it offers mind frameworks that we can all use whether we are fifteen or fifty.

Based on our core principles

The field of the Future of Work is very large and expansive. So, each season we interview guests and share research that covers our core themes:

• Technology: Discover new technologies, understand their impact on jobs, education and work choices
• Strategy: Discover the psychology that gives you a situational advantage. Talk about side hustles and Gig Economy, and the art of looking forward 5-15 years in the future
• Mental Conditioning: Not ‘soft skills’! We discuss how resilience and beginners mind can gear us for success
• OPE: Other People’s Experiences. Case studies & interviews will help us learn from the experiences, successes or fail-forwards of guests who are generous enough to share
• Community: Join the discussion. Share ideas. Discover hacks. Pay your wisdom forward.

Let’s share a few minutes.
Let’s explore the possibilities and offer ideas to impact your future.
Let’s discover and explore the Future of Work.
Together.

Community

Common sense is not common. And knowledge is not wisdom. My vision for this podcast & broadcast is that we will create a community across all ages, sharing our ideas, our needs, our best practices. We will alert others on what to watch out for, and what to embrace. Because it’s better in the company of friends. Because you’re never too young to have an opinion, and never too old to learn. Because the best ideas can come from anyone, anywhere.

Getting ‘in action’

This podcast is launched imperfectly. On purpose. I am not fully ready.  Some pages on the website still need updating and there are still audio spots that need cleaning up. Though I am up and tested on Spotify, iTunes is proving to be a little more challenging. I re-wrote my description 25 times, aiming for the right words and the right length. But I had to start somewhere. Then I recalled that a basic message within TILT is to be ‘in action’. Little action even when the way ahead is not completely clear. Life loves laughing at me!

Why launch on March 21? Because it is the Equinox!!

One interpretation of TILT is the quest for balance. And today is equal day and equal night – in both hemispheres. So, ready or not, perfect or not, technical difficulties or not, it had to launch today! Because tomorrow we will be back to chasing balance in our lives – just like the earth and the sun, the days and the nights. But today, the heavens remind us that anything is achievable for brief periods of time!

What to expect

An impressive list of people with a variety of experiences lined up to be interviewed. Once again, I am witness to the power of humanity. All that remains is that I find the time to edit and publish the episodes so that I honour the time from these generous souls, and publish on a regular schedule. When I explain that my blog or my podcast is geared to help young and emerging adults navigate an increasingly complex world, people are generous with their time, their experiences and their ideas. We are very much invested in the future of this planet, and seek to help sustain it for millennia.

I hope that you will enjoy and share this podcast. And that you will find time to send me word on what you heard, the things you want to hear, and the one nugget you took away.

Because I hear podcasting can be very uni-directional and lonely.

The greatest thumbs up you can give this podcast is to share it with someone who might find it of interest.
