Thanks for listening to what isn't even the very first podcast episode of Un-Machine Yourself. We are currently recording interviews with some of the worlds most inspirational leaders and successful CEOs. People whom we've selected, because we believe that they possess some of the most important capacities that we've learned we all need, in the nearby future.
Un-Machine Yourself is created and produced by Hatch - a platform that helps individuals and companies become future-proof. Behind Hatch are Roanne and Martijn.
Martijn is an entrepreneur with great experience in the corporate world; someone who set up several companies in a successful way, managed big teams of people, created startups and sold them again, right in time. He's also someone who foresaw that times are changing, and who warned that the old ways to become successful, no longer work.
That's where Roanne and Martijn connected. Roanne is a social scientist, an anthropologist of the future to be more precise. She is also a board member of the Dutch Future Society, lectures at universities and nowadays, took up the role of chief science advisor at Hatch.
So far, you've all heard the stories and heard the news about the disadvantages of unsustainable growth. You probably know how many burnouts and bore-outs there are on the workfloor. You have had the experience to sit in a room with people, all of them watching at their phones, not each other. You may know how it is to work in an environment that doesn't feel inclusive, or just; where growth is prioritized over people. And you may wonder: is it true that soon, robots will take over my job? Or, by then, will I have become a sort of robot, in order to keep up?
No - we say at Hatch, to the latter. While it IS true that almost all jobs will change in the coming years, and while it is also true that AI, Artificial intelligence, automation, robotics, hyper connectedness and the increase of risk for global pandemics will make this shift as significant as the transitions that prior generations have experienced in agriculture and manufacturing.
BY THE WAY; if you find this interesting, check out our website www.iamhatch.com - we wrote several background articles on this topic.
We also believe that leaders and employees with future-proof human capabilities, will be able to keep their jobs and more: thrive in them.
In this podcast, we tell you which capacities you need, but more than that: together with you, we want to allow ourselves to learn from the best.
We interview the worlds' most inspirational leaders; people who seem to possess exactly those capacities that we all need. People to whom everyone is pointing: they are different, they seem to rock it. For some reason, they just keep up and reinvent and do it in such a way, that it works, no matter how turbulent the world is.
Yup, those are the people we talk to, here. Sure, we'll talk about the future and robots; but mainly, we share real stories, about humane capacities, with concrete examples. We talk vulnerability, courage, resilience - daring to say to your boss or boardmembers that things are NOT ok. Daring to be innovative, to start a project that no-oone believes in, because you know the world needs it. We talk empathy, complex conversations, being truely transparant - and then win over the world.
