If you say you don’t want to be political, it’s often because the system is already working for you. For those of us who’ve had to fight for flexibility, access, or equity—that’s never been an option. The Privilege of Silence When someone says, “I don’t do politics,” what they’re really saying is that they’re comfortable with the way things are. That comfort signals that their own ease matters more than the discomfort others experience under the same system. For many people—including me—that kind of silence has never been an option. Personal Experience...

Practical Futurism for Daily Life Hope & Possibilities: A Love Letter to the Future of Work In this episode, I share how I think about futurism not just as theory, but as something you can actually live. My focus has always been: how do we bring futurism into daily life? How do the choices we make today move us closer to the future we want? I talk about the future-back method I first learned at the Institute for the Future, why noticing matters more than prediction, and how small shifts in attention can help you navigate change with more agency and optimism. In this episode, I...

🎙️ Hope and Possibilities with Nola Simon 🗓️ Episode Title: What Got You Here, Won't Get You There 🧭 Length: ~20 minutes 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts ✨ Episode Summary (from me, Nola): In this episode, I reflect on a concept that’s been showing up in a lot of places in my life and work lately: “What got you here won’t get you there.” It’s a phrase I learned from Marshall Goldsmith, and it’s one that keeps offering new layers of meaning the more I sit with it. I talk about how this idea plays out in leadership — especially the shift from...

🎙️ Episode Title Presence, Work, and AI: Stories Beyond Location 📖 Episode Summary In this episode of Hope & Possibilities: A Love Letter to the Future of Work, I dive into a theory I’ve been working on: our stories about work are deeply tied to presence—but not always in the ways we think. When I look back on my own career, most of my success stories didn’t happen in person. They happened over the phone, on a webinar, or through a screen. I rarely met my clients face-to-face, and yet that work shaped everything I achieved. Along the way, I’ve noticed how much...

**Podcasting as Leadership and Cultural Stewardship** Podcasting isn’t just a marketing tool for me—it’s a form of leadership and cultural stewardship. I’ve learned since 2021 that holding the mic comes with real ethical responsibility. I’m not just shaping conversations; I’m shaping culture. What I choose to amplify, who I invite, and how I edit all have long-term impact. **How I Choose and Work With Guests** I’m a big believer in trust and long-term relationships. I follow people for years, watching for consistency and authenticity before I invite them on. Cold...
