Episode 13 - Wayne Goodrich on the Emerging Tech for Elders

I speak with my old friend Wayne Goodrich— once upon a time, the quiet maestro behind the spectacle of Steve Jobs onstage. We go way back—to the Joe’s Digital Diner days in San Francisco, but for more than two decades across NeXT, Pixar, and Apple, Wayne produced the keynotes that became our collective campfire: product stories told with rigor, restraint, and a touch of theater.We talk about what’s next: the human side of emerging tech, from spatial audio to assistive robotics, and the health-span tools older adults actually need—less hype, more coherence. Wayne’s career has always been a bridge: translating fragility into reliability, complexity into experience, ambition into a live moment that lands.
