The Next Voice You Hear: Recent Episodes
Wahn Yoon & Nevan Ryan
The Next Voice You Hear is for inquisitive minds in business, culture and any creative profession. Hosted by Wahn Yoon and Nevan Ryan, who represent two different generations of creative thinkers, The Next Voice You Hear is founded on the idea that we are, whether we know it or not, living in a new "Renaissance", an explosive period of new ideas and paradigms. To succeed in this New Renaissance, we want to learn different perspectives on today's business, social and cultural tendencies, and, to use Einstein's famous phrase, "see the world anew". The Next Voice You Hear will feature interviews with guest speakers who are true Renaissance men and women from various industries such as media, publishing, design, innovation and advertising. We will explore ideas and always open minds to new ways of thinking.
