At What if Instead?, we’re on a mission to make experiments of your own as normal as watching videos on your phone.
The podcast, co-hosted by Alejandro Juárez Crawford and Miriam Plavin-Masterman, is about everyday people reimagining the way things work—and tackling the obstacles they face. We explore adventures in democratizing innovation. We show how having the chance to try one’s hand at something new affects people and even organizations and we look at what “powers” they discover and what challenges they face along the way. We dig into access: what determines who gets the chance to try and disrupt the way things work? We examine obstacles in specific industries and communities, and go deep with people working to break through them. We look closely at the role of tech—how it can equip or disempower people to build experiments of their own—and society. We ask: what leads us to accept a role as passive consumers of the way things work and what it means to discover our powers to ask in practice, “What if instead?”
