"We need to agree on what makes humans remarkable...and then get really good at it."
Brian and Aaron talk with old friend and futurist Jon Bergmann about what he has termed the "Fluencies of the Future", the core elements of what it means to be human. These are the things that define who we are and that we shouldn't sacrifice on the altar of progress. These are the things we must hold dearly and defend with everything we have, in the face of an increasingly complex and divisive world, and of technological advancement.
An uplifting and exciting - and profound - conversation to help you think about your place in the world and the workplace into the future.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
