Take a Different Seat

Take a Different Seat, hosted by Chris Havrilla, is built on a simple idea: where you sit changes what you see.

Each episode begins with a consequential question – about work, technology, decisions, or the organizations making them – and gathers people whose perspectives expose what we might miss from our own seat. The conversation keeps asking “and then what?” until a better question emerges beneath the one we started with.

Why this podcast? Why now?
Technology is changing not only how work gets done but also how decisions get made – and who, or what, is making them. In that shift, the ability to change seats and genuinely consider a different perspective is becoming one of the most consequential skills we have.

The goal isn’t consensus. It’s to leave with a better question and better context for the decisions that come next.
