Today on the skucast, we sit down with Catherine Graham (commonsku’s CEO) and Mark Graham (commonsku’s President and Chief Brand Officer) and talk about what a momentous time we live in for innovation, and what the future will continue to unfold for us as we move forward.

What if this is how life will be from now on? What if this is -as they say- the new normal? Many of us are stuck in waiting mode.

While some think the world is moving slower, perhaps on pause, innovation moves at a break-neck pace during times of crisis.

As we seek to move forward and rebuild our businesses and our industry, we must realize, we can’t simply put the broken pieces back together the way they were.

We’re joined by one of our favorite guests, futurist and trend editor Vicki Ostrom (Sanmar) to update us on all the trends in demand now. Vicki is a specialist in identifying societal trends and translating them into profitable products.

We’re starting a new series, one of the most important series we’ve ever launched, examining what the future world of work will look like.
