What is Adaptive Futures?

For nearly a decade, this podcast has explored how people, organizations, and technology shape the future of work. Now, as The Adaptive Futures Podcast, the journey continues with deeper conversations about what it means to adapt and thrive in an age of Ai and constant disruption.

Each week, host Al Adamsen sits down with executives, innovators, and change-makers to hear their personal stories—how they got to where they are, what they’re working on today, and what they believe the future of work will hold. Guests open up about their hopes, their concerns, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.

Episodes run about an hour in an audio-first format, offering a mix of narrative and insight. You’ll hear career advice for students, early-career professionals, and those navigating transition, as well as practical guidance for leaders striving to build inclusive cultures and engaged workforces.

In addition to these in-depth interviews, The Adaptive Futures Podcast is also home to audio versions of Al’s Future of Work Live conversations—bringing timely insights, bold ideas, and real-world practices straight to your headphones.

Whether you’re a leader, a learner, or simply curious about where work is headed, join us to explore the stories, ideas, and actions shaping a more adaptive future.
