Future Think Tank

Ben talks about why Jordan B Peterson is relevant to Future Think Tank and urges you to read (or listen) to ‘12 Rules of Life’ - if you haven’t already!

Will joins Ben for the weekly chat about anything and everything to do with the future. The format is experimental - there are no rules or regulations here, just a general aim to explore the future and see where we end up. Our conversation organically evolved, quite quickly, towards what future entertainment might look like, based on some current trends around using gaming platforms to spend time with others virtually and even for music artists to perform. Listen in to see where we end up! As usual - email Ben on [email protected] with feedback, ideas and to get involved in Future Think Tank.

Into week 2 of Future Think Tank, Ben looks back at the first week, assessing how he thinks he did. He then talks about the general direction of Future Think Tank and a couple of spin-off project ideas - ‘Start Me Up’ podcast and ‘Same Page’ book group. Finally, he looks forward to next week, starting with the first group discussion this weekend. Feedback to [email protected]

Ben’s end-of-first-week ramble on using knowledge of the present and general trends as the solid foundation to move on to speculate and discuss potential projects to influence the future. Don’t forget to specialise. Feedback to [email protected]

Ben talks about his plan for a recurring feature to talk to people about projects they are working on that are trying to make Futureland a better place for everyone. He touches on some Startup fundamentals - iterating, MVPs, pivots - before moving on to a project idea of his own and some rationale behind it. Please join the discussion here: [email protected]

All about people! When working on your ideas, do not forget that people are what you need to get things done, to inspire, to progress. As always, email Ben at [email protected] with recommendations, ideas and anything else.

Take 2 - The first hour-long effort was lost in a haze of technical glitch, so here is a frenzied recap of that sprawling ramble. Contact me on [email protected] with any questions, suggestions, etc.
