36: Holding out for a Hero?

  In this episode of How The Future Works, Eleanor, and Barry meet Kal Sahota, CEO of Open Innovation platform HeroX. She explains how organisations tap into solvers from around the world to find the answers to their big conundrums.

They also discuss Barry’s recent trip to Boulder, Colorado, and Eleanor’s resulting FOMO. https://www.herox.com/ https://www.youtube.com/c/Herox
