#168 - Steve Sammartino On Futurism, The Mobility Age & The World In 300 Years
- Written by AdventureFit Radio
Steve Sammartino is an Australian Futurist, Author, Technologist and Speaker.
We start with having Steve tell us about how he taught his daughter about the world and economics by growing pizza, followed by his background. Next we take a deep dive into the topics of futurism and about living in an age of mobility. Later on, we finish with the future of employment and the possible world in 300 years.
This was an absolutely mind-blowing episode, and Steve was such a great guest to have on. Another one for the books. Enjoy the show!
