About this podcast
The Monolith is a podcast about navigating exponential change without losing your humanity. What began as an exploration of design thinking inside large organizations, has evolved into a broader inquiry: how people and institutions adapt when legacy systems fail, and new ones arrive faster than we can name them. Each episode explores the present through systems thinking, economics, hacking mindsets, and cycles of change. The Monolith isn’t futurism for spectacle. It’s pattern literacy for people who sense the shift and want agency to thrive inside it.
