Tech pioneer, leadership coach, and host of the Pull The Chute podcast, Jeff Sesol, and host Tom Schwab talk about what happens when innovation moves faster than our ability to process it.

From building FreeDrive in the 90s, one of the earliest online file storage companies, to coaching leaders and hosting a top podcast, Jeff has seen firsthand how disruption reshapes the way we work and live. Together, they explore how AI is transforming productivity and relationships, why human thinking and empathy must stay at the center, and how leaders can “pull the chute” when the pressure is high, pausing to regain clarity and direction.
