First, what do we mean by future?
Higher order frameworks like the planetary boundaries show us where humanity is right now, and the direction we need to be heading.
So what does the green zone of the planetary boundaries look like? What does it sound like? And who are the people and organizations already creating it, around us, today?

A network built over 10 years of IRL events, now transmitting to your ears
After a decade of MOTF events, one thing is certain: tomorrow's solutions exist today. Future Meets Podcast is your variety show designed to signal-boost those solutions and illuminate pathways to better futures for all of us.
If the future is a mosaic, we each hold a piece
There's countless solutions needed to achieve positive climate futures, fortunately, there are countless people working on their piece. Here's a brief snapshot.

"Hi!! If you're reading this, chances are I love you already. So yes, after 10 years of running MOTF it feels like the "roots have reached the edge of the pot" and a new capacity is reached. A new level, if you will. I feel the surge of wanting to propagate the magic of MOTF beyond one event, and create something that can live year-round. I want to visit all the conversations, talks, panels, and recordings we've had over the last decade, reflect on them, and even invite the speakers back to dive in deeper. I want to create cohesion and alignment between higher order climate goals and our personal/professional lives. I want to identify themes and patterns across the guests and how they're indicators of a sustainable future expressing itself right now in the present. In short, I'm here to demystify positive climate futures and illuminate the pathways to getting there.
This will be a sonic experience of my journey in doing so."
