Interfacing with the Future with Thomas Frey [Interview]

Summary

Today we are talking with Thomas Frey the Architect of the Future, author of Epiphany Z, and he is the Executive Director as well as Senior Futurist at the DaVinci Institute. Changing the lens on situational futuring. Recently launched a "Foresight Journaling" Newsletter. His three principles in life: 1.) There is great value in the human struggle, and when we fail to be challenged, our best-laid plans tend to fall apart at the seams. 2.) The future favors the bold. During periods of great chaos, comes great opportunities! 3.) The “unknowability” of the future is what gives us our drive and motivation. The fact that the future is unknowable is a good thing. Our involvement in the game of life is based on our notion that we as individuals can make a difference. If we somehow remove the mystery of what results our actions will have, we also dismantle our individual drives and motivations for moving forward.
