The Edge of Now
The Edge of Now is a conversation about what AI means for people, work, leadership, and the organizations we’re part of.
Hosted by Jason Averbook and Jess Von Bank, each episode starts with the signals shaping the week, then looks past the headlines to find the real story, the human question, and the choices ahead.
Expect strong opinions, honest disagreement, and practical thinking about workforce orchestration, trust, productivity, education, the humanities, and the changing value of human capability.
Created by Now to Next for people who want to do more than react to the future. They want to help shape it.
