Navigating Uncertainty
In this episode of The Small Print, Bronwyn speaks to Andrew Blades about how to navigate an uncertain world. They discuss whether Covid could have been predicted, the pros and cons of lockdowns, and the media’s bias toward negativity. Bronwyn and Andrew also talk about the compounding nature of government, the need for cognitive diversity in building a resilient society, and how we can guard ourselves against the tyranny of the minority.

Bronwyn Williams is a futurist, economist, trend analyst and host of The Small Print. Her day job as a partner at Flux Trends involves helping business leaders to use foresight to design the future they want to live and work in. You may have seen her talking about Transhumanism or Tikok on Carte Blanche, or heard her talking about trends on 702 or CNBC Africa where she is a regular expert commentator. When she's not talking to brands and businesses about the future, you will probably find her curled up somewhere with a (preferably paperback) book. She tweets at @bronwynwilliams.
