This week our guest is renowned futurist, Amy Webb. Amongst her many accomplishments, she is the founder of the Future Today Institute, a professor of strategic insight at the NYU Stern School of Business, and author of numerous books including The Big Nine: How the Tech Titans and Their Thinking Machines Could Warp Humanity and The Signals Are Talking: Why Today’s Fringe Is Tomorrow’s Mainstream. This is just a small taste of her efforts, but to give you an idea of how significant her influence is, Forbes once listed Amy as one of the 5 women changing the world. In this episode we take a wide exploration of her work, including how to think like a futurist, how to avoid future-panic, the impact of covid on our technological trajectory, the power of storytelling, China’s influence, the impact of social media, and so much more.
