I spoke with London-based historical consultant Michael Weatherburn about his journey into entrepreneurship, his innovative projects, and the practical implications of his training. Michael shared how he combined his interests in history and organizational metrics to shape his PhD dissertation at Imperial College London and how he continues to develop these themes in his consulting work. He discussed founding his firm, Project Hindsight, experimenting with different client engagement strategies, and using his research expertise to help organizations combat what he terms "memory decay." We also explored the intersections of science fiction, futurology, and their creative relationship with our understanding of the past. Michael shared many valuable tips for anyone interested in building a career at the intersection of history and entrepreneurship.
