Description

"The Disruptor Series," your blueprint for groundbreaking innovation, started as a periodic segment of the Apex Podcast. 


This is not your standard conversation around Design Thinking or Product Market Fit; this is the series that dares to go beyond conventional wisdom, confronting the status quo and exposing the raw power of disruptive thinking. 
 
Our journey begins with intensely provocative dialogues that set the stage for the unexpected. 


With a focus on Experience Disruptors, Product Market Fit, and a range of other captivating topics, we bring you face-to-face with the ideas that are revolutionizing traditional buying and selling experiences.  
 
But we don't stop at ideas; we dive into their real-world applications. 


"The Disruptor" offers an unfiltered glimpse into the lives and minds of those who are being disrupted, creating disruption, or strategically navigating it. 
 
Our guests range from industry veterans to daring newcomers, all willing to share their experiences in shifting the paradigms that define their stakeholders' experiences. 
 
If you're tired of business as usual and eager to question the preconceived notions that hold back innovation, "The Disruptor Series" is your ticket to a transformative journey. 


Tune in, disrupt yourself, and become an agent of change in an ever-evolving landscape.
