It didn’t all change in March 2020. Not really. The UK high street has been in the throes of a gradual revolution for decades. From the rise of ecommerce, to the birth of mobile, social commerce, and a growing emphasis on experience, change has been underway for a while.

A Chat With The TED Conference Creator: Curiosity, Understanding, & Information Anxiety | Richard Saul Wurman

Just because we live in the age of information doesn’t mean that we’re actually learning. As a society, we’re overwhelmed, and there’s a reason for it — the explosion of non-information. This candid episode reveals more about it.
Today, we’re diving into the mind of Richard Saul Wurman, an American architect, designer, and visionary creator behind the TED Conference. He is a prolific thinker and content creator, having written, designed, and published 90 books, among a plethora of other accomplishments.
Considered the father of information architecture, he shares his unique approach to understanding complex subjects and why he believes in embracing our “stupidity” as a way to innovate and remain curious and open to new ideas.
Wurman also delivers a relevant criticism of the current state of education that relies on memorization and how AI is disrupting that. On the same note, he elaborates on the concepts behind his books “Information Anxiety” and “UnderstandingUnderstanding,” delivering a unique POV on how the currently overwhelming amount of non-information clouds our minds.
Beyond AI, we also dig into how the TED conference was born and Wurman’s philosophy of work. These unconventional perspectives on innovation, learning, and communication offer listeners a fresh viewpoint on how to navigate the complexities of the modern world.
Tune in for a dose of unconventional wisdom.
