We had the chance to spend some time at The Wall Street Journal’s #FutureofEverything Festival in NYC this week, taking in some thought-provoking sessions across broad topic areas like finance, health, technology, retail, wellness, education, the climate, and more. With a jam-packed schedule of notable business leaders and innovators, here are three things that we connected with: 💫 Tech for good. In the fast-growing autonomous #logistics category, CEO of drone delivery company Zipline, Keller Rinaudo Cliffton, discussed the future of #autonomous aviation and its influence on #healthcare access 💉 . Amid the debate of whether technology is enhancing lives or a detriment to society, it’s hard to argue with the impact of reducing in-hospital maternal deaths by 51% in parts of the world, delivering vaccines and critical health supplies to hard-to-reach places, all while operating on zero emissions. Keep an eye on this space 👀 . 🎼 The impact of music and the arts on wellness 🧘♀️. Amid an agenda filled with content on AI, climate, and finance, it was refreshing to hear renowned opera singer, Renee Fleming, discuss the latest research on the neuroscience 🧠 of music. In her new book, Music and the Mind, Fleming explores the transformative effect of music on memory, mood, and cognitive function. “Aesthetic experiences are part of our DNA” and have a profound impact on the mind, body, and soul, not to mention the economy. In a world that can at times feel over-oriented towards STEM, don’t sleep on the #arts. 💡 The power of “Yes, And.” With their expansion into NYC, The Second City's CEO, Ed Wells sat down with #WSJ to discuss the future of comedy. In an unexpected surprise, a Second City cast member led an exercise to demonstrate their “Yes, And” principle in action. Designed to encourage acceptance and trust, foster teamwork, and enable free flowing #creativity, we were struck by how the simple framework can help marketers approach problem-solving with more of an openness to connect and build on ideas versus stifle them. #ideasthatconnect #b2bmarketing #foefestival #wsj

I love that there was the ‘Yes,And’ exercise to help think differently and more creatively to help problem solve. Bummed I missed Ed Wells session!
