This talk examines blockchain–and more broadly, decentralization–as the future backbone or “operating system” for emergent technologies in every industry, both new and old. It takes the audience on a journey from our past, present, and future operating systems, highlighting how in addition to a shift in technologies, we are experiencing a broader shift in mindset, which will change how we interact with each other, our businesses, our governments, our finances, our products, and our environment. Industry / Focus Areas this talk can be tailored to include but aren’t limited to: **Finance **Governance / Cooperatives **Smart Cities **Supply Chain **Digital Manufacturing **Food Production / Agriculture **Internet of Things **AI / ML / Robotics — i.e. Autonomous Vehicles, Robotics, Drones, Machine Economy **Environmental Impact, Circularity, Waste Management **Organizational Structure – Future Organizations **Leadership **Healthcare **Natural Resource Management and Energy

Leaders today are plagued by fear-based decision-making, which leads to incremental innovation, not the radical evolution required to embrace the abundance of exponential growth. This talk investigates the psychology of risk taking, emotional intelligence, and intuition for leaders and organizations in order to innovate from a place of trust and abundance, versus fear and optimization.

This talk examines the exponential shift to distributed teams and workforces and the role of decentralizing technologies such as blockchain, AR/VR, cooperative communities, and gaming in shaping the future of work or elimination of the concept of “work” all together.
