What It’s Like to be a Global Futurist and a Travel Junkie With April Rinne, Flux [re-release]


Listen Later

April Rinne is a global futurist. She has helped startups, policymakers, and even international organizations identify social and economic trends and become more responsible as a result.  A self-proclaimed travel junkie who ‘belongs to the world’, April works in more than 20 countries each year and has some incredible career advice every Java Junkie should hear. Spoiler alert:  April believes (and has the data to prove it) that the days of staying at one company, or in one career your entire life, are behind us. She is also the author of FLUX: 8 Superpowers for Thriving in Constant Change.  She got her B.A in International Studies, History of Art & Architecture and Italian.  She got her MA in International Finance & Development Economics from the Fletcher School at Tufts.  And she got her JD in International & Financial Law from Harvard Law School.
