What if the education system we know today is no longer preparing young people for the world they’re about to enter?

In this thought-provoking episode of Innovator Insights, Scott Fisher invites you into a fascinating conversation with Will Richardson, one of the most influential voices in education reform, systemic change, and the future of learning. Drawing on decades of experience as an educator, author, speaker, and advisor, Will challenges many of the assumptions we hold about school, learning, and what it truly means to prepare students for the future.

As you listen, you’ll explore why traditional models of education may be struggling to keep pace with today’s rapidly changing social, technological, and environmental realities. Rather than focusing on technology as the solution, Will encourages us to ask deeper questions about the purpose of education itself and what learning could look like if it were designed around curiosity, adaptability, meaningful relationships, and human flourishing.

You’ll also hear a compelling discussion about the shift from the attention economy to what Will calls an AI-driven attachment economy, where technology increasingly influences how we think, connect, and make sense of the world. Together, Scott and Will examine why human connection, community, and relational skills may become even more important in the years ahead.

Whether you’re an educator, parent, leader, or simply someone curious about the future, this episode offers fresh perspectives and bold ideas that will challenge the way you think about learning and change.

Will Richardson’s insights are shaped by work with educators and school communities in more than 30 countries, six published books, TEDx Talks across the globe, and leadership roles in initiatives such as The Big Questions Institute. Recognized as one of HundrED’s global “Changemakers in Education” and one of Forbes’ Top 5 “Edupreneurs to Follow,” he brings both experience and vision to one of the most important conversations of our time.
