The Edge of Now
The Edge of Now is a conversation about what AI means for people, work, leadership, and the organizations we’re part of. Hosted by Jason Averbook and Jess Von Bank, each episode starts with the signals shaping the week, then looks past the headlines to find the real story, the human question, and the choices ahead. Expect strong opinions, honest disagreement, and practical thinking about workforce orchestration, trust, productivity, education, the humanities, and the changing value of human capability. Created by Now to Next for people who want to do more than react to the future. They want to help shape it.

Organizations have spent years connecting people through platforms, devices, chat, video, and increasingly intelligent systems. Yet being connected is not the same as building connection, and technology will not decide for us when people need presence, conversation, judgment, or trust.
In Episode 4 of The Edge of Now, Jason Averbook and Jess Von Bank explore what it means to design humanity into technology-enabled wo...
AI has made information easier to access and first drafts easier to produce, but abundant answers do not automatically create better thinkers. As schools, universities, and workplaces race to introduce AI, the more urgent question is what people should learn when the answer itself is no longer scarce.
In Episode 3 of The Edge of Now, Jason Averbook and Jess Von Bank explore why everyone is going back to school, regar...
AI can preserve organizational knowledge, expand human capability, and capture context that traditional systems routinely miss. It can also record, retain, and repurpose more of our work, behavior, and judgment than most people fully understand.
In Episode 2 of The Edge of Now, Jason Averbook and Jess Von Bank examine the complicated relationship between AI, privacy, trust, and human value. They explore what happens ...
AI is changing what work is, but most organizations still rely on job descriptions, structures, and leadership practices built for a less fluid world.
In the first episode of The Edge of Now, Jason Averbook and Jess Von Bank examine why people increasingly contribute across functions while organizations continue to keep them in boxes. They discuss the growing value of organizational context, the difference between ro...
