Once we huddled around campfires, now we huddle around phone screens.

Once we hunted and gathered, now there’s an app for that.

Once we used the stars to navigate the wild, now we’re in a digital jungle.

Modern technology has managed to make our lives easier and more complicated all at the same time. And then there’s the emerging technology to keep up with too.

What skills do we need to be able to manage this constant change? How do we make sure no one gets left behind? And what about the things that can’t be taught through a screen?

For this episode, we’re joined by Bear Grylls OBE, adventurer and broadcaster, and Shilpa Shah, Digital Transformation Director at Deloitte, as we ask: What are the new survival skills?

Tune in to find out:

The technology that saved Bear while he was out in the wilderness
Why the skills that we need to survive have changed over time
What ‘a survivor attitude’ is and how to have one
How we can ensure everyone has the skills to survive – and to thrive

Guests: Bear Grylls OBE, adventurer and broadcaster, and Shilpa Shah, Digital Transformation Director at Deloitte
