Brighton Kaoma, who grew up in Zambia, and Brian Clarke, a Brooklyn native met in New York as Fellows at Schmidt Futures. They bonded over their shared passion for audio stories, tech, and love for the planet. Now, they’re teaming up to ask the ultimate question: Why?

In this first episode, Brighton and Brian unpack what happens when the idealism of youth collides with the seasoned perspectives of older generations. With humor, heart, and a bit of banter, they set the stage for thought-provoking conversations with visionary leaders—from trailblazers tackling climate change to disruptors navigating the ethical maze of AI. Together, they’re on a mission to spark dialogue and maybe even a little consensus.
