How did I become a

In this short video I explain how I became a futurist, morphing from a musician and producer to internet entrepreneur to author, keynote speaker and futurist. I comment on the fact that while most people seem to think that the future is bleak, I believe the future will be better than we think. If you are interested in Futurism or becoming a futurist, this short video is for you!

Yep, it's a good film. One part is a fact, the other a somewhat very inspiring view of things, a vision. Thank you, Gerd!

Gerd is the grandfather of spotify. Always inspiring. Thanks for this definition of a futurist. Helps to tell others how I contemplate the world. Shape the future. #ForkInTheRoadProject

Hello, I want to develop a career as a futurist. I have masters degrees in research and product innovation. In my second masters program we studied foresight, and the therapy comment of the video resonated with me because of other talents that I have. Any advice? I really appreciate it!
