Today he shares stories about his career as an interpreter, we analyze how we’re interpreting the world around us, the idea of transmission loss and the quality of which we are interpreting our lived experience. We talk about being present, being aware and intentional with our life and the balance between being prepared and reactive. We talk about the widening gaps in our understanding of each other and the cycles of peace and war. We talk about high-stakes investor pitch meetings, remembering to be human and how AI may force all of us to find answers about ourselves sooner than we’d like. We also talk about interpreting what truly matters in your life and making meaning out of all the noise.
