We’re living in a new paradigm. The future represents a new reality, driven by unprecedented economic, political, and social change. These changes will influence everything, from the way we work to the way we interact with one another. Mainstream news rarely drills down enough to give a true picture of what’s happening, let alone what it all means. I spent thirty years in finance—more than ten on Wall Street. Many of the world’s largest financial institutions looked to me for guidance on the markets, the economy, and the politics that drive them both. My superpower is making complex situations understandable. After leaving New York, I worked as a subject matter expert, specializing in analysis of the capital markets. Global investment banks and other Wall Street players paid me to help them decipher emerging trends.
