Our Future Selves w/ Yancey Strickler

  • 🔴 Online Live Stream 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM (BST) 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM (ET), 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM (PST) (map)

Learn how to build a society that looks beyond money by focusing on the values that make life worth living.

Join the co-founder and former CEO of Kickstarter Yancey Strickler for FUTURES Podcast LIVE, hosted by Luke Robert Mason.

The modern world is defined by a value system that has narrowed into a money-obsessed condition. This focus on maximising financial gain had led to short-term decision making and self-interests that prioritise what we want and need right now. It doesn’t have to be this way. By giving a greater consideration to our future selves, the people who rely on us, and the next generation we can find ways to create a new society focused on abundance for all.

How can we expand our concept of value by focusing on things other than money – things like community, purpose, and sustainability? What methods can we use to build a society that’s more generous, fair, and ready for the future?
