In conversation with Theo Priestley - Futurist, Advisor, Author and International Speaker
Sometimes things converge in unexpected ways.
I had started following Theo ago because I was intrigued by his thoughts on where the world was heading. Often expressed with a healthy dose of irony and frequently with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
Then a few years ago I read The Future Starts Now: Expert Insights into The Future of Business, Technology and Society - co authored by Theo and Bronwyn Williams (guest number 6 on the podcast) - and this series of essays delving into both the potential for dystopian as well as utopian futures was as challenging as it was enjoyable.
Given where the world has found itself in 2023, I couldn’t think of anyone I’d rather have to give their views on what the future might hold, and how we should prepare ourselves for it.
Strap in, it’s going to get interesting…
