Tacit Knowledge

by Renaissance Philanthropy

AI is creating a new type of abundance, which raises the question: in a world with AI what stays valuable? We think one answer is ambitious people figuring out what problems to solve, how to solve them, and getting the work done. Every other Friday, Renaissance Philanthropy’s Kumar Garg sits down with someone doing hard, important work. We get their story, challenges, and lessons. From cleaning the air in kids’ classrooms, to stabilizing the Arctic, or pulling hydrogen out of the ground, you’ll meet people driving real breakthroughs. Across the season, you’ll hear from Renaissance Philanthropy’s network: fund leaders on the problems they’re addressing, fellows on the big ideas they’re scoping, and funders on what they’re backing and why. This season, you’ll learn what makes the best problem solvers so good at it. That’s the tacit knowledge: the hidden playbook. Join us.
