Ever picture yourself riding around in your very own DeLorean, or fighting with lightsabers to save your entire galaxy? Picture your wildest sci-fi fantasies come to life- this week, Ben and Greg sat down with Ari Popper, founder and CEO of SciFutures, where he and his team help you to envision your company's wildest potentials through science-fiction storytelling. While he can't exactly put you into your own personal Back to the Future or Star Wars saga, Popper talks a bit today about how sci-fi plays into building "the business of the future." Tune in as he tells all about the inspiration for SciFutures: his journey, his vision, and his business of helping companies take hold of their digital futures through science fiction and fantasy.

Ben and Greg get into what it means to envision a digital, "sci-fi" future in this, the first episode of a two-part series of interviews with CEO Ari Popper. Tune in this week and next for more on SciFutures, business, and the future of tech and transformation through sci-fi.
