What's Next - 1st Edition

I'm launching a newsletter for people who have to make decisions before the future is obvious.

It's called What's Next. A few times a week I read the most consequential developments the way a futurist does and translate them into what they mean for your business, your work, and the next two to five years. Attached is the first weekly edition, The Future from Last Week. Swipe through to see how it works.

Every edition covers artificial intelligence, technology, employment and the future of work, energy, healthcare, defense, and finance. I separate what actually happened from what companies claim, argue the opposing case on purpose, bring in the historical precedent when there is one, and close with a calibrated take and a score for probability, timing, hype, and risk. No hype, no filler, just what a decision-maker needs to act.

Who benefits: executives, investors, founders, and anyone whose job is to prepare for change instead of react to it. If you lead a team, allocate capital, or plan past the next quarter, I wrote this for you.

I publish short editions during the week and a longer wrap-up every Thursday. Follow along, and tell me where I'm right and where I'm wrong.
