Who doesn't love a happy accident!? Serendipity is the unexpected thing that happens in the space between you and the world, that you have the ability to notice and take action on. In a time of many great global challenges when collectively we need all the help we can get, is there a way for each of us to intentionally create more serendipitous opportunity from seeming mishaps? In this conversation, serendipity researcher Wendy Ross shares her thoughts on the roles of wisdom & skill, cultivated mess, attunement to the environment, time & perspective, risking failure AND having the practical and emotional resources to be able to absorb that failure, in the manifestation of the positive phenomenon that is serendipity.

In this conversation Vlad Glăveanu, Founder of the Possibility Studies Network, shares his thoughts around the importance of embracing "not knowing" (and all of the discomfort that comes with that) for innovation, collective change, and finding the joy and power of wonder.
