In this episode, Amir Rasool speaks with Christopher Bishop — career futurist, quantum industry voice, and author of Improvising Careers: Succeed at Jobs That Don’t Exist Yet.
Across eight careers — from touring rock musician, to jingle composer, to IBM executive, to quantum tech thought-leader — Chris has mastered career reinvention and staying ahead of change.
He introduces his Future Career Toolkit:
🎤 Voice – finding what truly resonates with you
📡 Antenna – tuning into the conversations and trends shaping tomorrow
🌐 Mesh – building a network that opens doors to new possibilities
We explore:
✅ Why fear of change holds people back — and how to replace it with curiosity and confidence
✅ The historical patterns that show reinvention has always been part of progress
✅ How AI, quantum computing, and emerging technologies are reshaping skills and creating new career paths
✅ Practical steps to build resilience, adaptability, and future-ready skills
This was one of the most energising conversations I’ve had — not just about the future of work, but about how to design your own career with intention.
