Space Exploration: NASA
Innovating at the Edge of the Unknown:
What does it take to lead innovation when the risks are deadly and the stakes are cosmic? In this episode, I speak with Dr. Ed Hoffman, NASA’s first Chief Knowledge Officer, about how one of the world’s most visionary organizations manages knowledge, leadership, and learning when even the smallest misstep can be catastrophic. We explore how NASA pushes the boundaries of possibility, what it means to innovate in high-risk, high-reward environments, and how the agency's approach to discovery continues to shape the future of humanity. When NASA innovates, the world pays attention, and every new discovery shapes everything that we know about existence.
