The New Abnormal
#TheNewAbnormal podcast (which has over 200,000 downloads) focuses on understanding today and anticipating the future. Discussing these subjects via the stories and viewpoints of my guests has led to some fascinating conversations with activists, creatives, writers, philosophers, strategists, psychologists, lecturers, futurists, etc. Re: my bio, I'm a strategist, author and public speaker. My first book went to No1 in the business charts, whilst my second was shortlisted for the 'Business Book of the Year' Awards.

The New Abnormal
Martin Raymond 'The Shifting of the Overton Window and the push for Transformation'
Series One
Martin Raymond is an author, journalist and co-founder of The Future Laboratory - one of the world's most renowned futures consultancies.
Established in 2000, they've worked with more than 1000 businesses in 50 countries.
In this reposted episode, we discuss his thinking around a wide range of areas, including journalism being 'the last refuge of the desperate - and the curious' to the cultural drivers of tomorrow, strategic foresight around resilience and purpose, surveillance capitalism, scenario planning, and a certain J G Ballard.
Along the way, we discuss his books "The Tomorrow People", "The Trend Forecaster's Handbook" and (at that point) forthcoming title "The Trusted and the Damned - or how to take a big company and make it small, irrelevant and pointless'.
As they say, what's not to like?
