Listen to 113 The Future Now Show Summer is here and time to have some ‘experiences!’ We just got back from Las Vegas, where we experienced “The Sphere,” a multi-billion dolar media experience, costing us hundreds of dollars each, with a show by the Dead & Company, the latest incarnation of the Grateful Dead musical group. We have much to say about it! And from a trip to Point Lobos this weekend, our science correspondent, Bobby Wilder, felt compelled to share two Near Death Experiences he has had, and stangely related to this month’s ‘solar maximum’ of our dear star, the Sun. Weird things are happening and time to pay attention…not the least of which is the rocketing value of Bitcoin recently. We dig deeper into why and what to expect next in this time of chaos and change. Enjoy! CERN Just Turned Lead Into Gold

WE'VE LOST OUR POPULAR CULTURE Let's not forget that the phrase "pop culture" means popular culture and it used to refer to those things that we ALL watched or knew about like the finale of MASH or the season premiere of Dallas where they revealed Who Shot JR??? Our favorite futurist Thomas Frey is on to talk about how highly personal algorithms have siloed us into so many different spaces that we don't have those cultural touchstones anymore like we used to. We will also talk about how AI is the future of teaching and learning, though I've got a column later in the blog about one teacher leaving the profession because of the reliance of kids on tech now. Find out more about Thomas or invite him to speak here.
Today we talk about our lost pop culture with our futurist Thomas Frey, along with the use of AI for education. Mandy goes on a tear about Jake Tapper trying to profit off his own failures, we discuss motorcycle fatalities in Colorado with DJ Summers from the Common Sense Institute and crime being down in Denver and Aurora, plus Boulder suing Exxon Mobil and Suncor.
Listen to 112 Future Now Show We celebrated the life of a great visionary scientist this week, at the memorial of Dr. Ralph Abraham, father of Chaos Theory and pioneer of visual mathematics. It was fun to meet those who loved him and those whom he influenced in their trajectory through life. The SPHEREx Space Observatory was activated this month, and is now created the best ever 3D maps of the universe, including millions of galaxies. Hal Puthoff’s personal belief on who ET’s are and what they are doing here was revealed in Joe Rogan’s podcast with him this week. We take a look at what he’s suggesting. If you’ve ever wondered about the life of rattlesnakes, there is now a live rattlesnake channel on Youtube that tunes you into their world, which is quite fascinating. I particularly enjoyed the clip of a cute bunny through their reptilian world. Nature has revealed how she has empowered a form of bacterial life to generate electricity instead of using oxygen for ife energy generation, a fascinating twist. After much controversy, there is new evidence there may be a Planet 9 after all, but very far out in the solar system. And keep an eye open for a 50 year old Russian Venusian Space probe that is about to crash land back on Earth! If you are in Los Gatos this week, you may want to try the world’s first hamburgers made by robots! Enjoy.. Electricity generating bacteria
More drops for the big banks, and a rebound for gold stocks as we could be finally seeing a drop in grocery prices.

Celebrating 10 years of Recruiting Future! Over the last 10 years, I've interviewed hundreds of TA Leaders as well as CEOs, thought leaders, and the people building the technology that drives the industry forward. Back in 2015, we thought the pace of change was super fast and that the level of disruption was off the scale with social and mobile technologies reshaping how we communicated. In some ways, we might think it was impossible back then to imagine the world we live in now, but many of the changes we see in TA today have been in the works for a long time. The speed of change in talent acquisition is governed by the tension between organizational inertia, which slows things down, and external events like the pandemic, which can cause things to move at lightning-fast speeds. The Generative AI revolution is most definitely in the latter category. We are on the cusp of the most significant changes to TA and recruiting we have ever seen. So, as a TA Leader, how do you manage that change and make sure you and your organization are fit for the future? Over the last few months, I've been using the power of AI to unlock the Recruiting Future archive and model the mindset and behaviours of the most successful TA leaders that I've interviewed. People who have changed how their organizations think about talent, who thrive on disruption as a catalyst for positive change, and who know how to use technology to enable their vision. These leaders all have four things in common. They use foresight to understand and shape the future, they build influence with the most senior stakeholders in their organisation, they think different to create innovative talent strategies and they use the impact of new technologies to accelerate change. Foresight, Influence, Talent and Technology = Fitt This episode features clips from interviews with two TA leaders, two CHROs, a Behavioural Scientist, and a Futurist talking about these four key areas and what you and your teams can do to be fit for the future. Featuring: Laszlo Bock, former CHRO at Google, on skills Lisa Montieth, Head of TA UK at HSBC on foresight Lyndsey Taylor, Global Head of HR Transformation at Brooks Automation, on influence Rory Sutherland, Vice Chair at Ogilivy UK, on talent Laura Coccaro, Chief People Officer at iCIMS on technology Kevin Wheeler, Future Of Talent Institute, on job displacement Follow this podcast on Apple Podcasts.

The Will To Change: Uncovering True Stories of Diversity & Inclusion
Join Jennifer in this thoughtful and eye-opening conversation with author and futurist Jamais Cascio as they explore how to navigate a world defined by chaos, uncertainty, and nonlinearity. Together, they unpack why the old models of resilience no longer serve us, why the moral universe looks more like a squiggle than a straight arc, and how leaders can embrace flexibility, active empathy, and interconnectedness to move forward. With deep insights into the BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, Incomprehensible) framework, Jamais offers a powerful reframing of how we make meaning, foster belonging, and lead with intention in times when nothing feels predictable — inviting listeners to dance with complexity instead of resisting it.
Listen to 111 Future Now Show Fortunately, most power has been restored after a blackout brought the Spain and Portugal, and parts of France to a standstill on Monday. Or is it? There seems to have been a silver lining to this massive outage, hiding in plain sight.Can you guess? A clue would be…candles..another would be …neigbors..Got it? Meanwhile we work with Grok3’s Ara as a detective sleuth, investigating the who, what, and why’s of this strange case of power gone awry..Historical parallels to past European blackouts are drawn, highlighting the vulnerability of interconnected power systems. While the official cause remains uncertain, geopolitical motives, particularly from Russia, are discussed as a potential, though unproven, driver for such an intentional act to test NATO resilience. Also this week, aging in space and what it means for us, galaxies aimed mysteriously at us around Andromeda, Synthetic leaves for fuel and plastic generation, and other topics such as economic realignments, religious influences on global politics, the potential for advanced technology like space elevators and bioreactors, and the development of micro-robots for brain surgery, along with more abstract concepts like the nature of consciousness and the unity of humanity. Enjoy! Spain and Portugal power outage:”induced atmospheric vibration”

The letters to the seven churches in Revelation 2-3 are possibly some of the best known parts of the apocalypic book, mainly due to their accessibility compared to the rest of it.

Published in 1932, the Futurist Cook Book is part comedy, part manifesto, and all cook book (kind of). Concerned as much with the extra-gustatory as the gustatory aspects of dining, this cook book offers a Futurist, anti-passeist approach to meals, one that embraces the Futurist principles of speed, violence and contempt for women. Most importantly, it identifies and denounces the primary threat to Italian nationalism: pasta.VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATIONJack has published a novel called Tower!Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Tower-Jack-BC-ebook/dp/B0CM5P9N9M/ref=monarch_sidesheetThe first nine chapters of Tower are available for free here: jackbc.substack.comOur Patreon: www.patreon.com/TheBookClubfromHellJack's Substack: jackbc.substack.comLevi's website: www.levioutloud.comwww.thebookclubfromhell.comJoin our Discord (the best place to interact with us): discord.gg/ZMtDJ9HscrWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0n7r1ZTpsUw5exoYxb4aKA/featuredX: @bookclubhell666Jack on X: @supersquat1Levi on X: @optimismlevi
Live from Optimove Connect, Brian sits down with Optimove CEO Pini Yakuel and Nikolas Badminton, Chief Futurist at Futurist.com, to unpack the philosophical and practical implications of 'positionless marketing'—a radical rethink of organizational roles in the AI era.Mind Over MechanismKey takeaways:Positionless is Power: The most innovative organizations won't be flatter—they'll be fluid. Roles dissolve; talent flows where it's needed.AI Is the New Intern: It drafts, it preps, it gets you started—but the genius still has to come from you.Old Process ≠ New Potential: Layering AI on legacy workflows just speeds up your inefficiency.Control is a Creativity Killer: Let go of silos, turf wars, and micromanagement. The next gen of leaders will trust, not gatekeep.The Kids Are Alright—and in Charge: Within 10 years, new mindsets will lead. Curious, collaborative, and chaos-embracing.[00:04:48]: “Startups get stuff done because you're positionless. One day you're marketing, next day you're writing code. That's how you beat the big guys—speed and fluidity.” – Pini Yakuel[00:08:03]: “We create the tools, and the tools create us.” – Nick Badminton[00:14:44]: “New tech + old process = expensive old process.” – Nick Badminton[00:11:50]: “Friction is what makes life life.” – Brian LangeAssociated Links:Check out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

When you feel the future, how do you share that feeling in order to build community? Over the past quarter-century, Best — first as an actor, musician, and performer, and later as an Afrofuturist scholar and lecturer — has worked to answer that question. Drawing on his experiences as a cast member on the award-winning percussion performance Stomp, as Jar-Jar Binks, the ground-breaking first major CGI character actor in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, and as a lecturer at the Stanford d.school and one of the leaders of the AfroRithms Futures Group. By bringing people together through electrifying performance and thought-provoking conversation, Best's work has been able to make the future not just an abstract, intellectual consideration but something that can be felt in collective experience. The core of Ahmed's argument? Feeling is a form of communication in itself, beyond words — and only by taking action and sharing our feelings of the future with each other in our communities can we create the futures we want for ourselves. Using a diverse range of creative and imaginative tactics, Best incorporates play and motion in order to help audiences Feel The Future. In his Long Now Talk, Best is joined on stage in conversation with Long Now Board Member Lisa Kay Solomon. As a Futurist in Residence at the Stanford d.school, Solomon teaches classes like “Inventing the future” and “View from the future,” to help leaders and learners learn skills to anticipate and adapt to increasingly complex futures. Lisa recently joined the board of the Long Now Foundation, and is passionate about helping infusing futures thinking and practices into both classrooms and board rooms. This talk was presented February 14, 02025 at the Herbst Theatre in San Francisco. Episode notes: https://longnow.org/ideas/feel-the-future/

Listen Now to 106 Future Now Show We begin this week celebrating Mrs. Future on her birthday, including some choice moments from the celebration. And our solar sun is in the news this week, sporting a huge black corona, unreal! What could it mean or do? We take a closer look, and soon we are chatting about the various kinds of UV light, especially from the Sun! Flatulence comes out when reviewing some new research on how to make such gases smell like a rose, or at least like a piece of chocolate..I kid you not, this can be done, not simply by disguising the smell, but by swallowing a pill that changes your digestive process! Why do this? That’s another question; now lets look at the current SOLAR wind.. Earth enters a stream of fast-moving solar wind flowing from a giant hole in the sun’s atmosphere. Meanwhile, robots cleverly disguised at humans will soon be entering our homes en mass, but like anything new, there will be issues. We think they’ll be a bit like a bull in a china shop at first, and will require special care of their host humans. Sadly, breaking things will be normal for awhile.. Mrs. Future plans to take them up on cooking and cleaning, and her favorite pastime, game playing. Al wonders about the bedroom.. and you if are worried about your Tesla stock, worry no more, as soon, all new Tesla cars, with the flip of a software switch, can upgrade into a fully autonomous robo-taxis, ready to make you $$$ with your car!

And what futurists do is study change, its forces, and its patterns.”“We zoom out to see what matters and how things work so that, when we zoom back in, we know how to materialize what truly matters.”“Sometimes leaders think they need more time, but often what they really need is more space—space to reflect, sense, and align with what's unfolding.”Resources Mentioned in This Episode Think Like a Futurist by Cecily SommersThe Fourth Turning Is Here by Neil HowePrinciples for Dealing with the Changing World Order: Why Nations Succeed and Fail by Ray DalioAbout The International Leadership Association (ILA)The ILA was created in 1999 to bring together professionals interested in studying, practicing, and teaching leadership.

Lisa Bodell didn't just study the future—she built a career helping companies prepare for it. As the CEO of FutureThink, she's been at the forefront of innovation for over 20 years, teaching leaders how to embrace change before it's too late. But her path to becoming a futurist wasn't planned—it started in advertising, took a detour into consulting, and ultimately led her to reinvent how organizations approach creativity and change.In Part 1 of this two-part series, Lisa shares her personal journey—from selling creative ideas in ad agencies to studying foresight and helping Fortune 500 companies navigate uncertainty. Along the way, she breaks down what it really means to be a futurist (hint: it's not about predicting trends) and why most companies resist change until it's too late.Key Highlights of Our Interview:From Ad Agencies to FutureThink – “I was great at selling creative ideas. But I realized people needed to learn how to generate them.” How Lisa's early career sparked a passion for teaching innovation.What the Heck is a Futurist? – “No, it's not about guessing trends. It's a structured way of planning for multiple possible futures.” Why real futurists use models—not crystal balls.Taking the Leap into Entrepreneurship – “When you work for yourself, there's no safety net. But that's what makes it exciting.” Lisa's shift from corporate life to running her own company.Why Most Companies Resist Change – “People aren't tired of innovation. They're tired of all the other stuff getting in the way.” Why complexity kills creativity in organizations.The Power of Pivoting – “The best entrepreneurs know when to shift—because nothing stays the same.” How Lisa evolved FutureThink over the years.______________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guests: Lisa Bodell______________________--Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a firm owner looking to integrate technology into your business? In this episode, host Tyson has a conversation with Dr. Cain Elliott, the Chief Legal Futurist at Filevine, about the evolving landscape of legal technology. Dr. Elliott discusses his role in developing innovative legal tools, emphasizing the importance of historical trends and user feedback in shaping future advancements.As technology develops, the legal space can lean on it to create better processes and ways of working. Dr. Elliott shares some insight on how to develop legal tools while meeting client demands. It is important to understand what you want out of a legal tool. Are you looking for a tool that fits within a specific infrastructure? Do you want a tool that creates a better flow for communication or client intake? This has to be understood from both the firm and the technology company that is helping design or manage a tool.Dr. Elliott delves into the importance of those in the technology space to think about what can be done to raise standards or help outcomes. For most law firms, this is what legal tools and technology are used for. There might be conflicts within firms or even between a firm and a company as ideas are flowing or tools are being created. This is a core value that technology companies need to have as they go through the process of developing legal tools.Listen in to learn more!03:48 Document Assembly Tool Experience 10:40 Balancing Client Demands and Tech Feasibility13:39 Challenges in Building Future Tech 28:18 Understanding Database Limitations 33:20 Capturing Team Ideas37:53 The Challenges of Email Communication 54:51 Vulnerability in Legal Tech 59:59 Future of Legal TechTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

This week, we've been exploring the lasting impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2020, we spoke about what might happen with futurist Amy Webb, the CEO of the Future Today Strategy Group. She predicted, among other things, that we would give up more personal data around our health and location. Then on the show in 2021, she said more definitively that privacy was dead. This week, Marketplace’s Stephanie Hughes spoke with Webb again. They discussed the current state of digital privacy, the lessons not learned from the pandemic and, as Webb sees it, the victory of politics over planning.

Reaching 93 years old is quite a feat. Achieving such longevity the way Riane Eisler has done so makes her journey all the more remarkable. A Jewish native of Vienna, Eisler was fortunate to live to see her 10th birthday. She and her family managed to escape Austria during the Holocaust, finding refuge in the slums of Havana, Cuba. They made their way to the United States in the late 1940s, a transition that put Eisler on a path towards gaining notoriety as a systems scientist, futurist, attorney, and author. Still active, Eisler continues to pour her mind and passion into her work. In her conversation with Women to Watch's Sue Rocco, Eisler explains why she considers the word “persistence” to be her middle name, and shares thought-provoking learnings from her decades-long career.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/women-to-watch-r/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Brett King. What if, in 50 years, money as we know it no longer exists? Futurist Brett King believes we're heading toward a world where artificial intelligence automates nearly everything from jobs to healthcare to supply chains. As AI disrupts industries at an unprecedented scale, traditional employment may no longer be the main way people earn a living. Universal Basic Income, once a radical idea, may become essential just to keep economies running. But if automation provides food, shelter, and healthcare as a default, will we even need money? Or will wealth become something entirely different? In today's episode of Money Tales, Brett takes us on a journey into the future of money and what it means for all of us. Brett King is an International Bestselling Author, a world- renowned futurist and media personality. President Xi Jinping cited his book Augmented. He has spoken in over 50 countries, given keynotes for TEDx, Wired, Techsauce, Singularity University, Web Summit, The Economist, IBM's World of Watson, CES, SIBOS and more. He has appeared on CNBC, BBC, ABC, Fox, and Bloomberg. He advised the Obama administration on Fintech. King hosts the world's #1 Fintech Radio Show/Podcast called Breaking Banks (180 countries, 6.5 million listeners). He is the founder of Moven, a globally recognized mobile start-up, which has raised over US$40 million to date, and launched the first in-app mobile bank account offered anywhere in the world. Banking Exchange named him the King of the Disruptors, he was nominated as American Banker's Innovator of the Year, voted the world's #1 Financial Services Influencer by The Financial Brand and listed by Bank Innovation as one of the top 10 "coolest brands in banking". King was shortlisted for the Advance Global Australian of the Year for being one of the most influential Australians offshore. His book "Augmented: Life in the Smart Lane", was a top-10 non-fiction book in North America. Bank 4.0 remained a global bestseller in banking more than 12 months after release. "The Rise of Technosocialism", his 7th book was released November 2021.
Is the book of Revelation a mere record of what happened in time-past or is it an account of events which will one day take place? In this sermon on the preterist view and futurist views, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones examines two views of Revelation. First, he briefly examines what is called the “preterist view” which understands Revelation as referring to events that happened in the past. Spending the bulk of his attention on the “futurist view,” he explains that both of these should be rejected. According to the futurist view, the reader is to understand most of Revelation's application as that which applies to a future generation. According to this view, little of the book's meaning applies to the lives of the vast majority of Christians who have lived. Dr. Lloyd-Jones first gives the futurist view and then critiques it by showing textual and theological problems. The author of Revelation doesn't seem to believe that only a portion of the book's material is about current realities, while other things will only happen in two thousand years. On the contrary, the book is united, complete, and whole. It's relevant for every age of the church and God's people have always found strength in these words. Listen and discover the transcendent hope of the book of Revelation.
