This week, we discuss the challenges of building a modern economy with AI, cloud computing, and machine learning. Our guest, Mattias Fridstrom, a telecom evangelist, explains that we're facing an emerging bottleneck with our networks.

After reading Nikolas Badminton's book "Facing our Futures," I reached out to him to understand his idea that "imagination is the fuel and hope for our future, but there is a poverty of imagination." Nikolas, who engages with organizations globally, warns against stifling emerging ideas and encourages us to question limitations. Our conversation covers moonshots, design fiction, positive dystopian futures, generational thinking, and the importance of reimagining our mindset to shape a better future.

The 5th industrial revolution is here. AI, Autonomous Vehicles, Augmented and Virtual Reality – it’s here! But none of it, not a single electron or packet of data can move without Digital Infrastructure. The lynchpin of that industry is the people who build and operate it. My guest his week is Kirk Offel, Digital Infrastructure expert, Navy Vet, and CEO of Overwatch Mission Critical. Kirk and I dive into the mindset and mission needed for the 5th Industrial Revolution, where veterans bring invaluable skills and a shared sense of purpose to the table. Having a plan B may seem enticing, but it can undermine the strength and determination in our industry of constant change.

The world is changing rapidly, and we are being challenged to embrace new technologies and societal transformations. This can be difficult, as we are creatures of habit and often find comfort in the familiar. However, it is important to remember that change is inevitable. With time, we adapt and adjust to new technologies, such as ChatGPT, cryptocurrency, and AI integration. To learn more about these topics, we have invited Garry Golden, an academically trained futurist, who leads us through a great conversation of learning, adapting, and embracing the future. http://www.garrygolden.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/garrygolden/
