How does one even begin to think about the kind of worlds that might exist in 2075? Those working in the world of foresight specialise in this kind of thing, and although we didn't talk about it directly in this conversation, I think it is one of the emerging skillsets of this episode's guest, Jess Price.
After a series of events that resulted in being burnt out at her current job, Jess could see the need for work to be reimagined. The dominant design of work and and the workplace has been stagnant for close to a century, and although it may be implicit, this is a choice we are all passively or actively making.
Jess is in the process of building an organisation, called Paradigm Makers, that will be relevant in 2075. Exactly what that looks like is impossible to foretell, but it will enable a world that is more inclusive, diverse, and human-centred in its approach. Through leveraging seven proprietary principles, Jess describes herself as the consultant who designs, with much of her work about surfacing the invisible systems and networks so that change can be intentional.
There is so much in this conversation that I loved, including:
Jess's time a the New York State Library
Building a second brain
A wall of inspiration, from books to pictures of the phases of the moon
Technology only being beneficial if it aids something in the physical world
Awareness of energy flows to design one’s day and week
Jess is thoughtful, insightful and inspirational throughout this conversation, and if you enjoy it you may also enjoy listening to:
