From LinkedIn:
I co-host a podcast about technology, society, and consciousness. FutureThinkers.org. We talk about blockchain technologies, the technological singularity, artificial intelligence, meditation, future societies, and how we will be affected by the exponential curve of progress.
From Future Thinkers:
Mike Gilliland grew up in Western Canada and studied audio and video production at the Art Institute of Vancouver. He has a 10+ year background in the multimedia industry and is a jack of all trades when it comes to multimedia production and digital storytelling. He has been involved in online businesses for just as long and has started several companies. In his spare time, he enjoys listening to audiobooks, deep-diving into really obscure subjects, playing Minecraft, wearing neck pillows, and spilling coffee. He is an INTJ.

Description:
Hi, We’re Mike Gilliland and Euvie Ivanova.
Our work with Future Thinkers is our ongoing journey in thinking about the future of humanity, speaking with brilliant thinkers, reading hundreds of books, working as entrepreneurs, living with different cultures around the world, and practising personal transformation for over 15 years.
Future Thinkers started as a conversational podcast between just the two of us at the end of 2013. Over the years, it grew into everything it is today – podcasts, videos, courses, community, talks, events, and all the projects we are currently building.
Everything we do with Future Thinkers is centered around our goal of helping people wake up, evolve, and adapt to a changing world.
