Listen to the Future – Now!
Readers know that I am involved with The Sarasota Institute – A 21st Century Think Tank. Along with Philip Kotler, Jason Apollo Voss I co-founded the Institute back in 2017 with a vision of creating something new, exciting, and influential by 2020. Last year I became the Managing Director.
The Sarasota Institute is not a think tank influenced by politics, policy or corporations. We have selected the 10 topics that are across the top of our web site as areas of focus. We face the future, and, with our members and invited thought leaders strive to frame the questions on these big issues facing Sarasota, the United States, and the world.
In January and February 2020, we put on two large symposiums on the future of education and on the climate crisis. Then COVID-19 hit, and we had to go virtual until now. We doubled our membership and are now relaunching the Institute with both in-person and virtual symposia. The remaining 2021 symposia will be posted in early September once all details have been finalized.
We have completed 10 podcasts, each approximately 30 minutes in length. They are now ready and available wherever you get your podcasts. You can listen directly to or download from our podcast page. All the links below are from our syndicator buzzsprout and Spotify.
