  • This pandemic is a complete system shock. It's unlike anything I've ever experienced in my lifetime. It's personal, it's professional and it's global – Dan Harvey

  • We're at a moment where we need to think about what living in the future is and what do we notice that's missing that we need to have? – Dan Harvey

  • The innovators, the creators, the knowledge workforce has a lot of power in their labour and they have choice – Dan Harvey

  • We have accelerating exponential God-like technology raining down on us. Some of it generates new categories of goodness, and some of it is generating new categories of harm – Dan Harvey
