The New Abnormal
The New Abnormal podcast (which has over 250,000 downloads) focuses on 'Now / Next / Why'. My guests have include a wide variety of experts based in locations from Los Angeles to Shanghai, Rio to Beirut, and Helsinki to Melbourne. Those guests have included activists, creatives, writers, philosophers, strategists, psychologists, lecturers, futurists etc, and asking them to explain their views has led to some fascinating conversations. Re: my bio, I'm a futurist, public speaker, and author whose written two books - my first went to No1 in the business charts whilst my second was shortlisted for the 'Business Book of the Year' Awards. (I'll be writing a third as soon as time allows.) So, I hope you enjoy listening to the series - which was set up during the early days of Covid and is therefore divided into a series per year.

The New Abnormal
Shermon Cruz 'From Future Shock to Gamification to Indigenous Futures'
Series Four
The episode of The New Abnormal podcast features Shermon Cruz, the Founder & Chief Futurist of the Center for Engaged Foresight, a global futures innovation and strategic foresight hub..
He serves as the UNESCO Chair on Anticipatory Governance and Regenerative Cities at Northwestern University, Philippines. As a full member of the World Futures Studies Federation (WFSF) and a pioneer member of UNESCO's Global Anticipatory Thinking Network (Futures Literacy), Shermon has established himself as a leading figure in the field.
He is also a co-founder of the Global Future Society at the Dubai Future Foundation. Previously, Shermon held significant roles in business continuity management and risk management at PWC, EY, and Accenture.
We discuss his deeply knowledgeable perspectives regarding all things 'futures related' and I hope you enjoy listening to him as much as I did.
BTW, Shermon's dog also wanted to join the conversation...so you may hear the odd bark, all the way from the Philippines to wherever you listen to this podcast!
