S7 E19 (150 overall): Acclaimed industrial designer and recent author, Nick Foster RDI, joins XYZ for our 150th episode of the series! In this special episode, we celebrate not only 150 episodes of future exploration, but also Nick’s recently released book ‘COULD SHOULD MIGHT DON’T: HOW WE THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE’ by MacMillan. And we’re going meta here to talk about the ‘Future of Thinking About the Future’. As musician, filmmaker, and cultural curator, Questlove writes in a testimonial “the book helps provide a meaningful framework for considering the big questions of “Where are we going? Who will we be when we get there?”.” As a Futures Designer who spent an esteemed career at globally renowned tech companies like Apple, Nokia, Sony, Dyson, and most recently as Head of Design at Google X - this conversation is spot on in terms of timing, content, and curiosity for the moment we currently face. Tune in to learn how we can better think about the future in terms of business, culture, technology, mental health, the planet and more. Happy 150th episode XYZ!
