Episode Description from the Publisher

Kevin Wassong has spent his career chasing what’s next — often before the rest of the industry was even ready for it. From television to entertainment to digital and now AI, he has consistently built at the edge of change.Kevin joins the podcast to talk about working on The Golden Girls during its final season (editor's note: best show ever), how early exposure to storytelling and technology shaped his instincts, and why he has always been drawn to building new things. He reflects on his time at Radical Media and J. Walter Thompson, the risks of building things too early, and the difference between the "bleeding edge" and the "leading edge."Jordan and Kevin also discuss timing, passion and why some problems are worth coming back to again and again. They close with a personal conversation about purpose, Sandy Hook Promise, and the belief that passion is the one thing you can’t buy.
