“Awe is data for the soul.” — Tina Sharkey

What if the moments that stop us in our tracks are telling us something worth paying attention to?

Awe changes our perspective. And sometimes, perspective changes everything.

A beautiful conversation about wonder, being human, and choosing love over fear.

At The Spiral Clubhouse, The Cultural Index Double Agents brought together leaders across technology, business, and culture to explore the future of the connected experience.

For Laura Becking, Partner at Orrick, the conversation came back to a simple but important idea: keeping a human in the loop isn’t about checking a box. It’s about bringing humanity into the process, and taking responsibility for how we shape what comes next.

Watch Laura share her perspective on what it means to stay human as AI becomes increasingly embedded in how we work, connect, and create.

“We have to understand that our wisdom is our cache, we have to focus spending more time off of screens, with people, having experiences, so that when we’re working with machines, we’re bringing our own sense of judgement, wisdom, and possibilities.”

At The Cultural Index: Double Agents, Tina Sharkey, Founder & CEO of One Park Advisors, moderated a conversation exploring how technology is reshaping the future of work.

Watch Tina share her perspective on why, as AI continues to evolve, our uniquely human experiences, judgment and wisdom will become even more valuable.

Sometimes the life you imagined was only useful because it got you moving.

Then life happens.

The relationship changes. The career shifts. The plan gets interrupted. You become someone the old version of you could not have accounted for.

I’m starting to think the better question isn’t whether life went according to plan.

It’s whether you’re awake enough to notice when something better is trying to emerge.

That doesn’t make every detour meaningful. Or every disappointment a gift.

But different is not the same as wrong.

And sometimes the life you didn’t plan is the one that finally feels like yours.

This is one of the ideas Tina Sharkey and I explore in Episode 9 of Full Wattage.

Your current life is evidence.

But it’s evidence of what came before.

That distinction matters.

Because if today is partly the result of yesterday’s choices, beliefs and circumstances, then today is also where something new can begin.

You don’t have to wait for your life to look different before you start showing up differently.

That part starts now.

What happens when intelligence is no longer uniquely human?

Perhaps the call is to stop trying so hard to figure out what machines will take from us, but instead focus on the life that is ours to get after. The one the lights us up.

Focusing on:
Wisdom earned through experience. Perspective. Agency. Awe. Love over fear. The ability to savor this beautiful life while we’re living it.

@tinasharkey calls it being divinely human.
Our conversation goes from an inoperable brain tumor and a sunset over the Golden Gate Bridge to AI, awe, reframing, and the life you didn’t plan.
It’s joyful, vulnerable, a little wild, and very human.

Last week at The Spiral Clubhouse, The Cultural Index brought together founders, investors and innovators for Double Agents, a conversation about leadership, belonging and the future of work as AI agents become part of the workplace.

Moderated by Tina Sharkey and presented by Orrick and Deel, the conversation featured Jamie Metzl, technology futurist and bestselling author of The 10 Commandments of AI; Laura Becking, Partner at Orrick; Joanna Peña Bickley, AI pioneer, design engineer, and Founder of Vibes.ai, formerly of Amazon Alexa and IBM; and Monica Chun, President of Acceleration Community of Companies.

The conversation explored how leaders can embrace AI while preserving the distinctly human qualities that help organizations thrive, including judgment, creativity, connection and purpose.

Through The Cultural Index, we bring together leaders across industries to explore the ideas shaping culture, technology and the workplace.

Ask a founder what it takes to compete in venture, and the answer usually comes back to the drive to keep going when the work gets hard.

That’s what we heard all day on our Fall NYC Venture Capital Tech Tour. Our hosts helped build some of the earliest online communities, changed how people find and book restaurants, and back companies from the very first idea all the way to global scale. A few of them learned business young, working in a family restaurant or watching a parent build a startup. Different paths, same drive, which is why they were the right people to spend a day with a group of athletes, entertainers, and changemakers who know something about that drive themselves.

Thank you to @TinaSharkey (One Park Advisors), @BenLeventhal (@blackbird), Dylan Itzikowitz (@southparkcommons), Shaurya Agarwal (@lightspeed), @ElliottfRobinson (@bessemer.venture.partners), and Ben Sun (@primaryventures) for opening your doors, and to everyone who came along.

Yesterday at The Spiral Clubhouse, The Cultural Index, Double Agents brought together founders, investors, and innovators to explore what it means to lead, build, and belong as AI agents become part of the team.

Moderated by Tina Sharkey and presented by Orrick and Deel, the conversations featured Jamie Metzl, technology futurist and bestselling author of The 10 Commandments of AI; Laura Becking, Partner at Orrick; Joanna Peña Bickley, AI pioneer, design engineer, and Founder of Vibes AI, formerly of Amazon Alexa and IBM; and Monica Chun, President of Acceleration Community of Companies.

One question stayed at the center of the discussion: How do we remain the authors of our own decisions when agents are already in the room?

The answer begins with preserving the distinctly human qualities that make organizations thrive, including judgment, creativity, connection, and a sense of purpose.

The Spiral, with its unparalleled views of the New York skyline, provided a fitting setting for this conversation about how people connect, collaborate, and experience work today. Through conversations like these, Tishman Speyer transforms its places into platforms for cultural exchange.

The Cultural Index continues this dialogue across cities worldwide, connecting people, technology, and place through creativity and innovation.

The future is built in rooms like this one. @studiobytishmanspeyer at @missionrocksf became the backdrop for The Cultural Index: a convening of leaders in neuroscience, tech, healthcare, VC, wellness, and culture, brought together by @tinasharkey and Future Proof.

From groundbreaking scientific breakthroughs to the simple, irreplaceable power of being together, the conversation reminded us why space and community still matter more than ever.
