Gradually Then Suddenly: A Blueprint for Building the Future with Steven Zylstra
Change doesn’t happen overnight—it happens gradually, then suddenly.
In this episode of The Future of Human Experience, Eric sits down with Steven Zylstra, CEO of the Arizona Technology Council, to explore how decades of collaboration, smart policy, and human-centered leadership transformed Arizona into one of the world’s fastest-growing innovation ecosystems.
They dive into how to build a thriving tech community from the ground up, the power of STEM education, and what other regions can learn from Arizona’s long game.
What you’ll learn:
-
Why policy beats politics when building for the future
-
How tech ecosystems grow through purpose, not just profit
-
The impact of STEM education and youth leadership
-
What your community can do to lead its own quiet tech revolution
