The Show

We are not cooking the future. We are seasoning it.

AROUNDTHECORNER is an open table. I invite extraordinary people. Builders, thinkers, dreamers, thought leaders. Pull up a chair, and we eat.

What We Believe

New ingredients. New techniques. New cooks in the kitchen.

AROUNDTHECORNER celebrates the innovators, the thought leaders, and the quiet geniuses reshaping what is possible, one conversation at a time. The conversation moves wherever it needs to go. Technology. Culture. The human condition.

What is around the corner that nobody is ready for?

The Format

A few glorious minutes. **An open table.**

01

An Open Table

No script, no gatekeeping. A few glorious minutes with someone worth listening to, and nowhere the conversation is not allowed to go.

02

A Seasoned Menu

Guests with plated stories. The most valuable intelligence in any room belongs to the person who imagined a different future, and then built it.

03

Same Kitchen. Different Cooks.

We sit with builders long enough to find out what they see coming, and why the rest of us should care. Every episode ends on the same question.

The Chef
