Episode 27: How to Thrive in an Uncertain Future – An Interview with George Chanos
“Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.” – Robert F. Kennedy
You’re going to LOVE this episode!
Today, we interview George J. Chanos who is extremely eloquent, infectiously passionate, and has a lifetime of real-world business experience, as well as perspectives from high levels of public office.
George served as Attorney General of Nevada, where he oversaw the entire state’s justice department. He has even argued, successfully might I add, in front of the United States Supreme Court.
Since leaving office, he has established a career as an accomplished businessman (including Chairman of one of the fastest growing franchises in the country). His two biggest passions are, first, learning about the future and, second, interpreting that future to help younger generations thrive in what will be an era of unprecedented transformation.
In many ways, the future is scary as hell. George tells of the technological tsunami that will revolutionize the world in the next 30 years, and that we’re already knee-deep in it without even knowing. In his latest book 'Millennial Samurai', George equips younger generations with the concepts, blueprints, and resources to find opportunity and gain a competitive edge.
Given the uncertainty we’re facing right now with COVID-19, I thought this was great timing to have him on the show. In this wide-ranging interview, we cover:
✔️ Politics
✔️ Quarantine (and Covid-19)
✔️ Artificial intelligence
✔️ How automation is disrupting industries
✔️ Incredible technology that is transforming the world
✔️ And a LOT more!
George also shares the one thing that he believes is the biggest existential thread for the entire world – and, no, it’s not climate change or rogue viruses like COVID-19. In addition, he helps us understand what’s going on politically to make sense of how the power shifts will play out. If you want a competitive edge for your business and the future, this episode is a must listen.
