Step into the world where technology meets humanity in the debut episode of Culture Snap, hosted by Keeva Stratton. This episode features a fascinating conversation with Zach Johnson, a pioneer who has ridden every major tech wave—from the early days of digital transformation and web 3, to shaping the voices behind Alexa and building smart cities.
Zach’s journey spans continents and disciplines: from policy analysis in the US to global innovation projects with giants like Mercedes-Benz, HBO, and Nickelodeon. As the founder of Fogbell, his latest consultancy, Zach now helps small and medium businesses cut through the confusion of emerging tech and chart a smarter path to growth.
Together, Keeva and Zach explore:

The evolution of conversational AI and its impact on daily life.
The human side of technology—why user experience and design thinking are more important than ever.
The societal and ethical challenges posed by AI, automation, and the rise of “physical AI.”
How businesses can avoid being swept away by tech hype and instead make deliberate, strategic choices.
The importance of diversity, design, and strategy in shaping the future of organisations.

With real-world anecdotes, thoughtful debate, and practical advice, this episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the crossroads of innovation, ethics, and human-centred design.
