What this episode covers
Each month, “Lochhead on Different” episodes explore the need to differentiate people, products, and services in a world that encourages a lot of imitation. Christopher Lochhead is a best-selling author, top podcaster, and former tech-industry CMO. Today, Christopher and Bob talk about the work that Christopher and his Category Pirates partners are doing to explore the hugely consequential divide between native analogs (people 35+ who grew up without ubiquitous internet) and native digitals (those under 35 for whom the digital world is as important as the physical)—and what native analogs need to do to stay engaged and relevant in today's native digital world.
