Future Fit™ with Regan Robinson

Regan and Marcus Daniels, Founding Partner and CEO of Highline Beta, dig into why co-creation is no longer a collaboration tactic—but a structural response to how growth itself is changing. They explore how learning velocity outperforms capital efficiency, why misaligned mandates kill momentum, and how designing for shared loss, not just upside, determines whether companies can expand beyond the core.

Key Takeaways

- Why co-creation only works when it’s treated as a capital decision—not a project.

- How designing healthy tension between partners creates equilibrium and forward motion. 

- Why a third space is essential to rebalance power and build trust.
