There’s a strange pressure a lot of us
feel right now.
We’re supposed to be innovative, strategic, emotionally
intelligent, creative, calm under pressure, and still have enough
left at the end of the day for the people we love.
That’s a lot.
And that’s why I appreciated this conversation with David
Lowe-Rogstad.
David has spent more than 25 years at the forefront of creative
technology, building teams, companies, and brands through constant
change. On paper, he has a history degree. In practice, he’s been
helping people and organizations stay relevant since 1997.
But what really stood out to me is how David thinks about
leadership, gamification, and the human side of work. Not just
points, badges, or leaderboards, but how play, progress, curiosity,
and challenge can help people feel more engaged and less stuck.
David has sat in almost every seat inside an agency, so he
understands the pressure, the uncertainty, and the issues that can
slow even great teams down. He leads with heart and clarity, caring
deeply about people while still knowing how to keep things
moving.
Settle in, listen closely, and Ripple On!!!
