You’ve been writing and speaking recently about being an “everyday futurist.” Could you explain this concept more? I feel drawn to this idea and I believe it will help me in business, as well as in my personal life. — Sam R. An Everyday Futurist™ uses knowledge, knowing, and know-how to identify, track, and respond […]
It’s Time to Transform Outrage Into Innovation
The Supreme Court of the United States has been relentless in its attacks on people that can give birth, the LGBTQIA+, indigenous and POC peoples, and now the planet we all inhabit. This is all part of the continuum of outright destruction of everything that supports the freedoms and separation of state and church in […]

As a leader in my company, it’s been increasingly difficult to keep morale and productivity up. What advice do you have for leadership roles, especially women in leadership, during these difficult times we are in? — Cassandra A.

The Patriarchy Must Dissolve
For years I have been sounding the alarm about the patriarchy rearing its ugly head, made up of predominantly white males.

Time With Sands – Follow the Ageless Way

Time With Sands – Find Meaning, Don’t Force It
I do plenty of things I enjoy. I spend time with loved ones, I get out in nature, I take time for self-care, and yet I still feel like something’s missing. It’s almost a sense that I need to be doing more and making a difference. Do I need to have a sense of purpose […]
