"The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it" - Alan Watts
This opening episode invites you on a journey, not just through time, but through perspective.
From fire-starting hominids to spacefaring technologists, we are going to trace the ripples of human imagination that turned tools into empires, and sparks into systems.

History isn't just a study of the past, it is also our present. As we live through unprecedented innovation, it's a perfect time to study the forces of tectonic shifts and how to guide them.

Description

If you want to change the world, you need to dissect the past to build a blueprint for tomorrow.
Follow the epic journey through the history of invention, science and technology - told in chronological order.
---
Long before the rise of Empires,
before the invention of the written word
and before humans ever tamed fire.
Curiosity was shaping the fate of our species.
This podcast breaks down the messy, complicated, often accidental ways humanity pushes forward—and shows you exactly how you can do the same.
This isn’t surface-level history.
Starting at the dawn of civilisation, we trace the thread of human innovation in the order it happened. Covering the stories of the world's greatest inventors and most powerful ideas.
Each episode is a masterclass - with all the nerdy details and side-quests that matter across science, economics, psychology and more:
From Maritime navigation to Interstellar explorationHammurabi’s legal code to Algorithmic governanceDa Vinci’s human dissection to Genome editing
Studying the patterns of history and invention shows how every world-changing idea is but a conversation between what has been and what could be.
Journey with us as we untangle the playbooks of the disruptors who change things here on earth and beyond.
