15. Human Assets over Human Resources: Enabling a People First Society


Listen Later

What happens when we stop looking at humans as resources and start looking at them as assets? Eliminating competition can help us live happier more fulfilled lives where we follow our passions, rather than working to live. Kelly is joined by emerging technology strategist Jay Latta for a conversation on how we can build the future he envisions, so we can move past our scarcity mindset and lead with curiosity.  

Jay believes our main human need is to stay curious.  

Big Takeaways:  

  • "My recommendation is mostly reading. Reading starts the fire in your imagination. We need to get back to our curiosity. There are no wrong questions, and there are no wrong answers--it's about discovering. It's about getting curious and listening to what makes you happy." 
  • "Ecosystemic thinking is about collaboration and cooperation. It eliminates the outdated idea of competition. You don't need to be the biggest of the biggest simply to become a monopolist – that competitive approach is toxic." 
  • "People don't go into corporate jobs to stay for the next 35-40 years anymore. After one & a half or two years, they simply go somewhere else because they're curious. That's how we break out of the linear thinking that you need your career in order to marry, have children, build a house, etc. Linear thinking does not serve our main human need, which is to stay curious."
