In this episode of the Pillars of Progress Podcast, Travis Justice sits down with Jaime Casap — former Chief Education Evangelist at Google and a leading global voice on innovation, culture, and the future of learning and work.

Jaime spent more than 15 years at Google helping shape digital transformation in education and business. Today, he works with companies and institutions around the world to build disciplined cultures of innovation — not through buzzwords, perks, or slogans, but through curiosity, iteration, and leadership that embraces constant change.

 

In this conversation, Jaime and Travis dive into:

• What culture really means in an organization

• Why true innovation requires discipline — not chaos

• How failure isn't failure… It's an iteration

• The role of leadership in shaping and protecting culture

• Lessons from Google's early days and the evolution of its culture

• Why hiring for fit and curiosity matters more than degrees or test scores

• The fast-moving impact of AI, and why staying current is a full-time job

• How meditation and self-awareness shape personal and professional growth

• And yes — the story behind Jaime’s famous hair, and why Travis never had a chance

 

Whether you're leading a company, building a team, or just thinking about how to navigate change in your own work and life, this episode delivers insight, humor, and a fresh perspective on what it really takes to innovate.
