Tessa Finlev and Nancy Giordano discuss embodying the future you want...
From her early start traveling the world with the Peace Corps to becoming Head Foresight Strategist for Dolby Labs, Tessa Finlev’s mission has been to gather a deep understanding of what it means to be human through multiple contexts and experiences. Her global insights, futures thinking and unconventional path have led her to the conclusion that: only by engaging as many people as possible will the work that is being done today, successfully transform the work that needs to be done for the emergent future.

Guillermina Benavides and Nancy Giordano discuss the need to change the way we change...
Guillermina Benavides Rincón is a Professor with a master’s degree in strategic foresight at the School of Government and Public Transformation at Tecnológico de Monterrey, and a PhD from the University of Texas at Arlington. Beyond the accomplishments though, what’s mind-blowing is that she started her final dissertation with no children, and by the end had four(!), having been surprised with triplets during her studies.
Instead of this slowing her down, and alongside teaching students, she's been advising Federal, State and Local Governments on the need for public policy, economics and social development policies to evolve alongside the rapid pace at which women and their roles in family systems are changing within Mexico. Since most of the policies are developed by men with little or no real understanding of the current + future opportunities that can be made possible for women, Guillermina is a champion and important advocate in her country for changing the way we change.

Karen Sands and Nancy Giordano discuss the Ageless Way...
An early feminist who has been active in the women's rights movement for decades, Karen Sands is a visionary leadership expert and gerofuturist, now on a mission to inspire the older generation to rock their age, while at the same time showing younger generations the value of not just their wisdom and experience, but the huge opportunities for innovation that an aging population represents. Not only that but where we’re seeing a resilience crisis among youth, bridging an inter-generational gap between young people and an older generation who’ve lived through multiple versions of challenging times can provide a much needed ballast. Founder of The Ageless Way Academy and author of 11 books including multiple Amazon #1 bestsellers, Karen is a true force helping leverage and amplify the longevity economy for the mutual benefit of all generations.
