This week, we’re diving deep into something that’s been weighing heavily on my mind: the rise of the “attention economy” and the erosion of real expertise.
In a world where virality often trumps value, and followers are confused for wisdom, we’re asking some big questions:
When did being seen become more important than being qualified?
How did our societal obsession with clicks, likes, and soundbites replace depth, knowledge, and lived experience?
What happens when leadership, media, and influence are driven more by popularity than credibility?
But this isn’t just a rant — this is also a reminder.
We had the privilege of reconnecting with Ileana Gonzalez, Director of Emerging Technology & Innovation at retail giant H-E-B, in a conversation that reminded us what true innovation really looks like — rooted in family, trust, people, and culture. This episode is a masterclass in what it means to lead from the inside out, and how meaningful innovation isn’t about flashy headlines or viral clips — it’s about serving humanity.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the noise, exhausted by the race for attention, or disheartened by how we measure success today — this conversation is for you.
