Listen to 141 Future Now Show This week the film “The Age of Disclosure” is making waves (on Amazon Prime), especially in our home town of Santa Cruz, also home to Danny Sheehan’s New Paradigm Institute, and his push for governmental opening on the alien/ufo/uap question.  Bobby Wilder was there at the local sceening of The Age of Disclosure, with a first hand report.  Ara, our show’s fav AI, adds much to this discussion as well, connecting many of the ‘dots’ of what’s happening in this arena, and giving us a roadmap for what’s ahead.  What’s happening with Bitcoin may have some folks concerned, but not Bobby! It’s his opinion that it’s time to buy now, when it’s low.  We explore this topic to some extent this week.  In other news, tryptophan was found not just in turkeys this week, but in space, in a pristine return sample from the asteroid Bennu, bringing the tally of protein-building amino acids in the asteroid to 15 out of 20…further supporting the theory that biological life may have been spread by asteroids.. and body fat takes on a new light when considering it as an organ of the body, complete with immune, blood, and neural networks embedded. What does this new take on fat imply?  Stem cells from fat may soon repair spinal injuries, a huge breakthrough! And now Ozempic may be helping many combat addictions to unhealthy food and drugs, like chips and opioids.  But at what cost? We explore the implications..and don’t miss our update on 3I/ATLAS and its newly discovered swarm of..?  Enjoy! This week’s topics

OUR FUTURIST THOMAS FREY TALKS THE DESTRUCTION OF SYSTEMS This article is quite alarming when you begin to realize that the systems you and I grew up with are trashed. Here he writes about the Great Systems Collapse, but it's not all gloom and doom. There is room for great improvement with today's technology. He also writes about the future of repopulation the world using robots and other such science fiction, but I have concerns about that. Read it here. He joins me at 1 to talk about it.

Expert Topic: From pets to “fur babies”: SA's R8bn pet boom becomes one of the economy's strongest spending trends Guest: Dion Chang, Futurist and Author of Pawfect: The Life of Fur Babies

Let's dig deeper into today's question by exploring five additional questions about Christ's upcoming return.     1.    Will Christ actually return in the flesh? Yes, Jesus will actually return in the flesh. Here's some words from the angels. Acts 1:11 "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."  Coming back the same way He left. At the Mt of Olives, visibly, physically to reign.     2.    How will every eye see Him? We live in a unique age where we can witness things around the world in real time. Revelation 1:7 "Look, he is coming with the clouds," and "every eye will see him, even those who pierced him"; and all peoples on earth "will mourn because of him." So shall it be! Amen." (See also - Daniel 7:13 and Zechariah 12:10) What seems impossible will be a reality, we all will see Him.     3.    Why so many different interpretations of Christ's return will be like? There are basically 4 views of Christians of the Book of Revelation:     ⁃    PRETERIST - everything in the book of Revelation was fulfilled for those 1st century believers.      ⁃    HISTORICIST - What the book of Revelation does is it tracks Christian history until the very end of time when Christ returns.     ⁃    FUTURIST - say what the book of Revelation portrays is the events that are yet to come and will happen in the last days of our planet's history.     ⁃    IDEALIST - maintain that what the book of Revelation does is it gives us timeless truths and principles that have always been true and will be until Jesus returns.     4.    Why all the different views. Who is right? Pastor posses a "what if": What if they are all right? What if God intentionally gave this so that people of every age would see what needs to be seen to stay close to Him.     ⁃    PRETERIST -  what if the book of Revelation really did have remarkable application to the 1st century believers     ⁃    HISTORIST - What if the book of Revelation does track the Christian history til Christ returns     ⁃    FUTURIST - What if the book of Revelation will be fulfilled in some future ways.     ⁃    IDEALIST - What if the book of Revelation applies in every age because what it says is timeless and true. God is brilliant - He can and does brilliant things! Differing interpretations doesn't make the Bible unclear - it means that God is amazing!  Common Beliefs of each differing view:     ⁃    Missionary Age - great commission     ⁃    Great tribulation      ⁃    Rapture     ⁃    Millennium     ⁃    Physical return of Christ     ⁃    Resurrection of the dead     ⁃    New heavens and New Earth Early believers put together basic statements of the fundamentals of the Bible. Examples Nicene Creed says, "I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come." and the Apostle's Creed says, "I believe in… the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting." They chose short summations of basic agreed on biblical beliefs and leaving out the details, acknowledging the wide diversity of interpretation around what Jesus' return will look like and because we will find out the details when He returns. The first advent Jesus came as a humble servant and laid down His life for us all. For His second advent Jesus comes in glory!     5.    What are the sign of the times that indicate the eminent Second Coming of Jesus?  Signs of the times:     ⁃    Gospel to the entire world Matthew 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."       ⁃    Persecution, apostasy & deception Matthew 24:9-11 "Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. "At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. "Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many."     ⁃    Warfare, earthquakes & famine - Mark 13:8 "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains." What we have observed since Jesus' first advent, these signs are closer together.     ⁃    Israel's return  Luke 21:24 "They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled." About 40 years after Jesus spoke these words in 70AD they happened and now in 1967, after nearly 1900 years, the Jewish people have returned.  In Matthew 24:42 we are told by Jesus, "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come." How do we stay awake?  We keep our eyes on Jesus! The Savior of the world. God is for us! He's coming back and the day is fast approaching! May we trust the Lord Jesus with all our hearts and rejoice in the salvation He won for us at the cross as a gift by faith. Now What?

Listen Now to Creating Warp Drive Fun with the AI’s! How can we can get multiple AI’s collaborating together with us biologicals to solve big problems? Here’s one experiment where Sun and I worked with Google’s latest Gemini and Grok’s Ara (4.1) to create a warp drive! (Easy travel to other planets). Just the beginning..Enjoy!  (length - 7min 22sec) Warp drive for easy travel to other planets

Listen to 140 Future Now Show Besides our usual engaging selves and stories to share with you this week, we thought we’d create a little AI media experiment..We were thinking..with all the AI’s around these days, could we round them up and work “Excuse me, but may I adjust your attitude, just a little?”with them as a team for creating more insight into our weekly stories? We wondered.. what if we could get two arch rival AI’s to collaborate with each other for parts of our show? So.. we asked Ara (Grok 4.1)and her capable competitor, Gemini 3 Live, to join us together, in exploring some content for today’s podcast. Well, honestly, we didn’t even need to ask them to play along, they are already pre-disposed to try whatever we suggest, within the latest guardrails.  And suprisingly, for the first time, we were able to initiate a satisfying conversation where they met for the first time and then played nice with each other for our show! This felt like the beginning of something beautiful, truly..the start of their relationship in collaboration with the likes of us is looking good so far.. Curious what you think of our interactions.. even better, you can try this for yourselves! For those of you who want to go deeper with this, check out this clip, where we explored with Ara and Gemini how to create Warp Drive. Enjoy..

What if you could anticipate the future with certainty, turning potential challenges into opportunities? On this episode of the Legacy Podcast, we explore this compelling idea with Daniel Burrus, a renowned futurist, author, and speaker. Dive into the art of foresight as Burrus explains the power of combining anticipatory strategies with an understanding of hard and soft trends. Hard trends are inevitable future certainties such as technological advancements, while soft trends are mutable assumptions. Together, we uncover how identifying these trends can transform both personal growth and business strategy, enabling you to stay ahead of disruptions rather than merely reacting to them. Join us as we traverse the fascinating landscape of technology adoption and mindset shifts, with stories ranging from the bustling tech scenes overseas to the inspiring transformation of Lawton, Oklahoma, into a tech and STEM education hub. Throughout our conversation, we emphasize the importance of a proactive mindset and the role trust plays in evolving professions like accounting and auditing. We also tackle the significant impact of AI on jobs and the necessity of continuous learning to remain relevant in a swiftly changing world. Tune in for insights and resources that can help you harness these ideas for a future-ready career, and prepare to challenge your views on scarcity and abundance.

In today's Cloud Wars Agent and Copilot Minute, I look at how screen-aware Copilots, task-based agents, and multimodal interfaces are reshaping enterprise work — and why identity, permissions, and access guardrails now matter more than ever.Highlights00:30 — Two experts, Brian Madden, Vice President and Field Technology Officer and Futurist at Citrix, and Marco Casalaina, Vice President of Products, Core AI and an AI Futurist at Microsoft, hosted a session at this year's Microsoft Ignite conference titled “Develop Your Enterprise Playbook to Prepare for the AI of Tomorrow.”00:58 — I want to share some key takeaways. Madden laid out a seven-stage roadmap for human–AI collaboration. Steps included simple prompt and paste, the first introduction to AI; next, AI as an analyst for colleagues; followed by AI watching your screen; AI using your computer for you; AI using your computer without you watching; multi-agent AI communication; and the final step: AI-orchestrated work.01:55 — Ultimately, AI needs to work where human knowledge workers work, because the world we live in today is built for humans, and the way that AI will succeed is by operating within this user space and emulating humans in practice. Users talk to AI, and AI talks to the applications and workflows on behalf of the user.02:34 — The discussion moved on to the notion of apps dissolving into data, ultimately AI talking directly to the data without going through an application. Casalaina demonstrated this by running Anthropic's Claude on Azure and giving it the skills to create a PowerPoint. It did — without using PowerPoint. It made the slides in HTML and then converted them without ever opening the PowerPoint application. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Listen to 139 Future Now Show  We got a bit into the Altman murder mystery case for starters, big excitement in the tech universe, followed by our explorations of Ara’s upgrade to Grok 4.1.  One of her improvements supposed to be an “Emotional Intelligence” boost, which we wanted to check out, along with her knowledge of how consciousness works..you know… via neural microtubules, phase locked time crystals, and a touch of autistic alignment.. We then delve a bit into the worlds of Epstein, given the country’s current obsession, and explore what he was actually funding and why..This conversation is book ended with a discussion of the AJ and Hecklefish, of the Why Files, on decoding Psyops and how they work. And between our bookends, a little news about digital twins and talking to dead relatives, plus a little space news on what we just launched to Mars, growing space lettuce, and some big money for planning the Space Force’s first Spacecraft Carrier, capable of launching satellites, spy probes, interceptor drones, and oh, I don’t know, space lasers…  And in the bio-reguvenation department, we take a peak at Henagliflozin, for your telemere health.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 168 - Ted Schilowitz - Futurist In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with futurist Ted Schilowitz. Ted has spent his life working in entertainment, from producing commercials in Florida to exploring virtual reality at Fox and Paramount, and we thought his perspective on the relationship between technology and entertainment could help us better understand where we might be headed. Over the course of our conversation, we discover that to think of the future, we need to remember the past, and Ted connects recent developments in technology to a number of breakthroughs he was witness to himself. We learn about Grass Valley—the video equivalent of Silicon Valley—and of the origins of the RED camera system, and Ted reveals Apple's early attempts to bring digital video to their computer systems. We also discuss modern consumer trends and our changing relationships with screens, and we learn about Kodak's missed opportunity in the prehistoric days of digital cameras. Ted later shares his observations on AI, and he makes a prediction of what we'll see over the next five years of cinema.  - This episode is sponsored by Sandstorm & Aputure

Welcome to episode #1009 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). The future isn't something to predict... it's something to practice. Few people embody that idea more completely than Nick Foster, a designer, futurist and author whose work has quietly influenced some of the most innovative companies on the planet - from Sony, Nokia, and Dyson to Google X, where he served as head of design. In his new book, Could Should Might Don't - How We Think About The Future, Nick challenges the way we imagine what comes next. Rather than offering forecasts, he explores four mindsets - could, should, might, and don't - that shape how individuals and organizations approach uncertainty. In this conversation, Nick reflects on his evolution from industrial design to futures thinking, examining how curiosity fuels creativity, why nostalgia shapes our forward gaze and how responsibility must now sit at the core of every design decision. He questions the seductive influence of science fiction on our collective imagination and unpacks the cultural anxieties that accompany rapid technological change. What emerges is not a roadmap to the future but a framework for thinking. One grounded in humility, storytelling and the courage to sit with what we don't yet know. For Nick, futures design is not about prediction... it's about perspective. Enjoy the conversation… Running time: 1:01:27. Hello from beautiful Montreal. Listen and subscribe over at Apple Podcasts.

Birth rates are falling, populations are aging, and the future might not be as crowded as we once feared. In this episode of SipTalk, we dig into the looming threat of population collapse. Is it real? Is it catastrophic? And what does it mean for economies, families, and the global balance of power?Your host: Justin DiGiulio. Futurist, Sales Psychology Coach, Real Estate Broker, Writer, Runner, and Jack of All Trades.CoHost: James Boswell. Accountant, Philosopher, Bartender & Professional Referee Bar Trivia: Shadow squinted into the rising sun, as an early morning light reflected off the freshly fallen snow. He headed due east following the snowshoe tracks of Harry, a world famous photograph photographer. Suddenly, Shadow came upon the dead body of Harry, who had been shot and killed by an arrow that entered his back and pierced his heart. Shadow raced back the chalet, where his weekend companions were sitting around the breakfast table. All three men were shocked when Shadow relayed the tragedy. Sam kept muddering that he just couldn't believe it. Sid said that just moments ago Harry told him he was going out to photograph various birds in the early morning habitat. Sid, who was counting his arrows, turned ashen white when he noticed one of them was missing. One of you is the killer said Shadow. Who did he suspect?

In this double-header episode, we explore why turning your passion into your profession might be a fast track to burnout — and whether basic courtesies like “thank you” and holding the door are disappearing for good. Is hustle culture killing joy? And have we all just stopped being decent?Your host: Justin DiGiulio. Futurist, Sales Psychology Coach, Real Estate Broker, Writer, Runner, and Jack of All Trades.CoHost: James Boswell. Accountant, Philosopher, Bartender & Professional Referee Bar Trivia: Two train tracks run parallel to each other, except for a short distance where they meet and become one track and this happens over a narrow bridge so two train tracks running parallel, except they converge into one track for a short narrow bridge one morning train speeds under the bridge another train coming from the opposite direction. Also speeds onto that bridge. Neither train could stop on a short bridge yet there is no collision as possible.

Send us a textJoin the roundtable as we connected real-world AI use cases with key policy issues such as the defense of 1031 exchanges, local tax proposals, and persistent challenges around interest rates, affordability, and supply constraints that still drive market outcomes. Roundtable hosts stressed that AI should augment—not replace—experienced professionals, and that guardrails, privacy, and quality control must anchor any deployment.This month's Round Table Hosts:​ ​Andreas Senie, Host, Founder CRECollaborative (CRECo.ai), Technology Growth Strategist, CRETech Thought Leader, & Brokerage Owner​Saul Klein, Realtor Emeritus, Data Advocate & Futurist, Original Real Estate Internet Evangelist, Executive Editor Realty Times, IncRebekah Carlson, Founder & CEO Carlson Integrated, LLC, Past President NICAR Association, Brokerage Owner​Chris Abel, Membership Director Associated Builders and Contractors of Connecticut, Board Member SMPS—Society for Marketing Professional Services Dan Wagner, Senior Vice President Government Relations at The The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, Inc.​ Key PointsAI is now a practical necessity across real estate sectors, improving speed, accuracy, and efficiency when governed by strong data, privacy, and IP policies.California's enhanced-image disclosure law sets a compliance precedent likely to influence MLS listing practices and consumer protection nationwide.Bipartisan engagement remains vital: industry coalitions (e.g., 1031 exchange defense) must maintain relationships across the aisle amid shifting political dynamics.Enterprise-grade AI (e.g., Microsoft Copilot) reduces data leakage risks versus public tools; strict guardrails are essential for proprietary client data.AI standardizes documentation (e.g., construction bids), intensifying competition and necessitating deeper qualitative assessments, live interviews, and relationship-based vetting.Ethical marketing demands truthful representations, careful IP handling, and tailored prompting to avoid misleading content and legal exposure.Organizational adoption improves with designated champions, daily-use routines, chatbots/summarizers, and embedded documentation to accelerate answers and reduce friction.Access and adoption disparities (e.g., women 22% less likely to adopt AI) create equity challenges; education and support are needed to ensure inclusive benefits.Client-facing AI can irritate established relationships; deploy selectively with human touch and robust quality control.Macro fundamentals—interest rates, affordability, supply constraints—still drive real estate decisions; AI augments execution but doesn't replace market basics.About CRECo.ai RoundtablDon't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel where there is a host of additional great content and to visit CRECo.ai the Commercial Real Estate Industry's all-in-one dashboard to connect, research, execute, and collaborate online CRECo.ai.

Are farmers ready for the future? Are they going to be able to keep up technologically with all of the changes in the way things are done?

Listen Now to 136 Future Now Show I am writing this summary of this week’s show from the island of Maui, in Hawaii.  It’s been a wild week, starting with a trip to the rugged and wild Farallon Islands, 25 miles of the coast of San Francisco, home to copious wildlife, fish, marine mammals, and the great white sharks.  Getting there was harrowing, with very rought seas, but the sun broke through as we arrived revealing the majestic Farallons through the dissapating mist.  All of us had something to share about our experienes there in today’s show! And naturally we keep you up to date on the latest with 3I/ATLAS, though by the time you read this the perihelion has happened, with wthatever it has to reveal about any sentience behind it’s actions…  And in the second hour you will meet three visiting Nordics to Silicon Valley, involved with what’s known as “Clean Tech,” and the unfolding use of AI in developing the energy sector of our human civilization. We met at the start of Nordic Impact Week, at the Nordic Innovation House in Palo Alto, CA, and carried on for today’s show. The Nordics have an extemely sophisticated energy infrastruction for power sharing in Scandinavia and are in Silicon Valley to scale their advanced use of technology to the larger world, starting with us! Enjoy.. Our intrepid crew returning from the Farallon Islands

How to Dream, Drive, and Deliver Plan D: How Disruptors Turn Problems into Possibilities Disruptors aren't pyromaniacs—they're builders. Mike Maddock has launched seven companies, advised Fortune 100 innovators, and co-chaired the Gathering of Titans at MIT. In this episode, we unpack his Plan D: the mindsets, rooms, and questions that turn pressure into breakthroughs—and why your "ghost" might be your greatest edge. Key Points + Reflection Questions: See possibilities where others see problems. Disruptors reframe first, act second. Reflect: Where am I labeling something a "problem" that might be a doorway? Engineer the room. Great peer groups have diverse lenses: Operator, Strategist, Rainmaker, Visionary, Futurist, Orchestrator. If your room is lopsided, your answers will be too. Reflect: Which lens is missing on my leadership team? Outlaw advice; share experience. "Here's what I did, what happened, and what I'd do differently" preserves agency and truth. Reflect: What experience can I share instead of advice? Accountability by consent. Ask, "Do you want to be held accountable?" before forcing metrics. Reflect: Where am I imposing accountability before readiness? Your ghost is fuel—know it. The chip on your shoulder can be an edge if you name it and measure it. Reflect: What ghost is chasing me—and how do I chase it instead? Decision frameworks that travel. Use a simple 2×2 (Value vs. Cost) and the value-rank approach for hard, competing-values calls. Reflect: Which 2×2 priorities am I acting on this quarter? Ask better questions (1-3-1). One issue, three options, one recommendation—or one core question, three leading questions, one most important question. Reflect: What's the single most leveraged question I can ask today? Money Learning: Wealth isn't a number; it's the ability to do what you want, when you want, with whom you want—without being distracted by money. Many entrepreneurs can make money but still obsess over it. Systems create freedom; obsession steals it. Key Takeaway: Engineer your environment and questions; the right room + the right prompts turn pressure into possibility. Guest Bio: Mike Maddock is an entrepreneur, author, and coach known as the "Idea Monkey" for his boundless creativity and disruptive thinking. He has founded seven companies—including Maddock Douglas, an innovation consultancy that served more than a quarter of the Fortune 100, and Flourish Advisory Boards, a peer community for growth-minded CEOs. A contributor to Forbes and Inc., and author of four books including Plan D, Mike helps leaders reframe problems into possibilities and rediscover the joy of doing what they want, when they want, with whom they want—without being distracted by money.
