Podcast appearances and mentions of david mattin

​

Why is futurist and trend forecaster David Mattin our first guest on the new Longevity Gains podcast? Well, it's his job to see what's happening, and what's coming.In his words:The UN says that the global population aged 65 and over is growing faster than any other age group. In 2019, one in 11 worldwide was over 65; by 2050 it will be one in six.It's an unprecedented demographic change. And because it will shape our response to everything else, I've come to believe that it is the most consequential megatrend reshaping the decades ahead.Listen in to hear this illuminating conversation on the Longevity Economy, including:* The economic and societal implications of elongated life spans and, more importantly, healthspans.* Why devising new models for lifelong learning is vital.* How the typical stages of life may need to be reexamined moving forward.* Why intergenerational tension is increasing … and why it's crucial for this tension to ease moving forward.* Why professional tennis is a great analogy for the impact of advanced healthspans.* The curious case of the Baby Boomers and the cultural revolution of the 1960s, and why “youth power” may be more anomalous than previously thought.* How careers and content will change moving forward and why an increase in individual “micro-businesses” is likely.* What to make of the recent developments in anti-aging (and even age reversal) science.* The philosophical questions that are inevitable as people continue to live longer and longer.David Mattin is an experienced broadcaster, writer, speaker, and an internationally recognized expert on trends, technology, and social change.

Something shifted in the last two weeks on the zeitgeist about the use of artificial intelligence in our daily personal and professional lives.  The launch of the first large-scale, general purpose chatbot using OpenAI‘s GPT3 AI engine on November 30 has reenergized the whole tech industry all at once. Skift CEO Rafat Ali wrote a story about it, which will give you a good sense why. To get an understanding of why there is so much buzz about Generative AI — the sub-sector with larger AI world which includes creation of text, images, audio and video — and what this means for our daily lives, for the travel industry and even travelers, Ali talked to the best expert analyst and writer on it I know: David Mattin. He writes an excellent newsletter called New World Same Humans on trends, technology, and our shared future and has been doing a deep dive into Generative AI all this year with his writings. This is a fascinating conversation you would want to listen to from start to finish, to understand the implications of it for our industry and indeed our daily lived reality.

What is universally human? What changes and what never changes? How does technology meet our human needs and what are the implications for businesses? These are the huge questions that occupy the mind and keyboard of David Mattin - founder of the New World, Same Humans newsletter that is a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of our planet, ways of living and working.  Reluctant to call himself a futurist, David writes, speaks and consults on the trends that are reshaping the human experience. He does this by balancing perspectives of the past, the present and possible futures to plot a way forward that is sustainable and equitable. David shares his thinking on the future of leadership, the decisions organisations need to be making and suggests a radical solution for reinvigorating democracies.

Trend Driven Innovation O livro "inovação motivada por tendências" ou do inglês "Trend driven innovation" foi escrito por David Mattin e Henry Mason, palestrantes TED, consultores e referências em futurismo, inovação e tendências. Nesse livro os autores compartilham uma mensagem contra-intuitiva e desconfortável : Para descobrir qual será a próxima tendência, precisamos parar de olhar para o que as pessoas querem e passar a observar o que as empresas querem. A economia da antecipação Porque os seus consumidores são praticamente impossíveis de serem 100% agradados? A economia da expectativa acontece sobre 3 pilares. 1- Expectativa de aumento da qualidade 2- Expectativa de Impacto positivo 3- Expectativa de expressão pessoal e personalização Esses 3 pontos dão aos consumidores poder e controle sobre as tendências, enquanto que, o que resta para as empresas é persegui-los incansavelmente. Baixe o Relatório de Tendências produzido pelo Pinterest e Revista Elle para entender como se posicionar e se diferenciar em diversos nichos de mercado. https://www.resumocast.com.br/pinterest ou https://business.pinterest.com/pt-br/blog/tendencias-pinterest-elle/     Entre para o Clube do Livro: https://www.resumocast.com.br/apoiase

Imagine this…It is the near future. A team of 1,000 specially selected people will travel far beyond the solar system to the planet N.EXT.1. There, they will establish a permanent base. A new society. A new home for human beings. Many of our guest have undertaken this journey with us on the digital show WHAT'S NEXT during the pandemic. At NEXT21, we watched them board the space shuttle and asked our audience to join us by answering five questions…

‘What's NEXT' is the new show to shift your perspective on digital business: 45 minutes of news and insights with international experts and an audience from around the globe. At this moment, we all sense that so many old assumptions are being tested. Amid the daily news updates, a single, powerful question is becoming clear: is this a Great Reset, or simply a pause? Are we about to make far-reaching changes to the way we live, work, travel, and do business? Or will we fall back into the same old patterns? In the very first episode of ‘What's NEXT' content curator Monique van Dusseldorp, trend watcher David Mattin and NEXT Chief Editor Ina Feistritzer discuss the NEXT theme of Halt and Catch Fire.

As we move deeper into the 21st-century, the technologies of the fourth industrial revolution are reshaping our world. Leading technologists forecast a world in which facial recognition watches us at every corner, and in which algorithms know us better than we know ourselves.In this talk TrendWatching's Head of Trends and Insights, David Mattin conjures a vision of a very different future. A future in which we ensure that technologies are there to serve humans, and not vice versa. In which new human capabilities and ways of life are set free. And in which we understand that human beings – and the human spirit – will always be more than any algorithm. Innovators, unite: we have nothing to lose but our chains!

Ted Schilowitz serves as Paramount Pictures' Futurist, as well as an advisor to the University of Nebraska’s Johnny Carson School of Emerging Media Arts. He sees himself as an explorer, with an eye toward storytelling and creativity. His modern lab rat approach, allows him to experiment with all types of technology and determine what makes it valuable for the future. Brian Ardinger, Inside Outside founder, and Ted discuss the intersection between storytelling and human behavior. Specifically, they address next-generation screens to create the illusion of reality.  Highlights from the discussion: - VR is an emerging process of teaching people about new ways of using more powerful screens in their lives.  - People want entertainment when they want it and where they want it. Connecting the screen to your eyes and your brain, something that doesn’t exist yet at scale.  - Experiments with VR, AR, and mixed-reality headsets. Logging hours in experimenting, then bringing back experiences to the studio.  - The power is accelerated to create an illusion of things that aren’t real. There are ethical, safety and truth concerns. - Mixed reality or extended reality is the thing to watch.  - VR is a multi-level/multi-year evolution. We’ve seen good progress, investment, and predictive analysis.  - Viable businesses are enterprise and heavy and light industrial markets. Things are getting adopted when people use them differently.  - Read The Innovators Dilemma by Clayton Christianson. - How can people tap into creativity and adaptability?

Jeremy Lockhorn is VP, Experience Strategy, Mobile + Emerging Technology at SapientRazorfish and has served a wide variety of roles during his 20-year tenure. The common thread is on a focus of what’s next. In this podcast, Jeremy and Brian Ardinger discuss technology changes over the past 10 years and the implications for the future. They know each other from their days in the digital signage space.  When the iPhone was launched more than 11 years ago, it was immediately breakthrough technology. What people didn’t know, was how big and disruptive it would be. We never imagined how seamless the phone would become in our lives today. Jeremy believes the Fourth Industrial Revolution is coming. He defines it as an Intersection of emerging tech such as smart home, self-driving vehicles, wearable tech, AI, VR/AR, and smart speakers, etc. Of course, the phone has a role to play in everything.  The next 10 years will move faster and be more disruptive. In the past there was one disruptive tech at a time, now all this new tech is hitting at the same time, with interconnectivity. Consumers are going to expect companies to be where they are. Creating magical experiences for customers. When you make things so simple, the interface fades into the background. Jeremy provides other examples from Whirlpool Appliances and Hertz.  Are companies that will win, the ones that can customize and predict what customers want? Jeremy believes companies must use “Clairvoyance Marketing.” That is removing friction, predicting need, and then completing the task. Anything that does not do that in the future will jar the customer. It’s hard to keep up with that pace of change. Creating collaboration opportunities to drive innovation and bring in outside thinking is crucial. Look at companies like Mercedes Benz and Patron Tequila as early leaders in the space. Note: Since this recording, Jeremy Lockhorn has left SapientRazorfish and is consulting and public speaking while finding his next full-time gig.

He says: thanks to the radical transparency made possible by a connected world, your business is a glass box. People can see all the way inside.And that means that now the brand is everything they see. Every person. Every process. Every value. Everything that happens, ever. Theres a single word that sums up what a person sees when they look deep inside your business: they see yourculture.

Watch this interview with David Mattin, Head of Trends & Insights at Trendwatching.

The early web was founded on optimism: a belief that digital technologies could unlock a new age of undreamed of freedom, self-expression and personal empowerment. But today, that early spirit of optimism has been hijacked by Silicon Valley mega-corporations and TED talk utopians, who have turned it into an ideology that is helping them amass vast, unchecked power. In the opening keynote at NEXT17, TrendWatching's Global Head of Trends and Insights, David Mattin, makes the case for a new model of optimism and technological progress. And, via compelling examples from startups and brands, shares his thinking on how digital innovators really can help make the world a better place in 2018 and beyond.

Today’s show is an interview with David Mattin, a global leader at Trendwatching.
