In March of 2020, I spoke with Don MacPherson from 12 Geniuses about my work.

The podcast

I go in-depth to describe how three technologies — artificial intelligence, bioengineering, and quantum mechanics — will reshape humanity. And I shares advice for how we can manage the incredible changes the future is sure to bring us.

Season Three of this podcast from 12 Geniuses is dedicated to exploring the future and how life is sure to change over the next decade. In this episode, I provide tools and guidance for how to better understand that future.

The Article

In the article accompanying the podcast above, Don shares his perspective on my role as a Futurist and her outlook on what it will take from us as changes inevitably come our way. Here is an excerpt:

“Imagine the curse of Cassandra. She is the woman from Greek mythology who saw the future, but when she shared the doom, the gloom, or the fortune that was in front of the people around her, no one listened. Imagine the pure torture of having that curse.

Cecily Sommers shares something in common with Cassandra. She sees the future. The difference is that when Cecily talks, people from all over the world stop what they are doing to listen. They listen as if their lives, or at least their business lives, depend on it.”
