This week, we’re diving deep into something that’s been weighing heavily on my mind: the rise of the “attention economy” and the erosion of real expertise.

In a world where virality often trumps value, and followers are confused for wisdom, we’re asking some big questions:

• When did being seen become more important than being qualified?

• How did our societal obsession with clicks, likes, and soundbites replace depth, knowledge, and lived experience?

• What happens when leadership, media, and influence are driven more by popularity than credibility?

But this isn’t just a rant — this is also a reminder.

We had the privilege of reconnecting with Ileana Gonzalez, Director of Emerging Technology & Innovation at retail giant H-E-B, in a conversation that reminded us what true innovation really looks like — rooted in family, trust, people, and culture. This episode is a masterclass in what it means to lead from the inside out, and how meaningful innovation isn’t about flashy headlines or viral clips — it’s about serving humanity.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the noise, exhausted by the race for attention, or disheartened by how we measure success today — this conversation is for you.
