As 2025 comes to a close, it’s time to pause and look back. Not to summarize the year, but to harvest what truly mattered.
This was a year full of futures. Full of encounters with people who don’t wait for what’s next, but actively practice it.
We are living in a moment where the future often feels unclear, even heavy. And that’s why the real question is no longer what will happen next, but how do we create something better, starting now.
In this special Best Of episode of The Future Is HOW, I’ve curated moments from the past year that are designed to shift how you think, feel, and act when the future feels uncertain.
You’ll hear from people who practice the future in very different ways:
A Michelin-star chef.
A musician.
An illustrator.
Leaders from Apple, Canva, Stanford, and Harvard.
Experts in sleep, AI, leadership, education, and mental health.
And you’ll also hear from my wife Angela, who works with plant medicine and Reiki energy healing, reminding us that creating the future isn’t only an outward act. It begins by listening inward.
This is not a podcast about predictions.
It’s about practice.
Short moments.
Real insights.
Gentle but powerful invitations.
Because the future isn’t something we wait for.
It’s something we practice, every day.
Welcome to the Best Of The Future Is HOW.
If something resonates with you, I invite you to explore the full conversations in the individual episodes.
