The Future of Sport: Rewriting the Rules

What is the Future of Sport? Sport has always been more than a game—it’s a reflection of who we are and who we’re becoming. As a former NCAA athlete and a futurist with a background in strategy and wellness, I’ve seen firsthand how sport can be a vehicle for growth, transformation, and self-actualization.

But the sports industry is shifting. Technology, human potential research, and cultural evolution are redefining how we play, train, and even think about competition. At the same time, we’re seeing cracks in the traditional realm of sports—declining sports events viewership, a shift toward the individual athlete, and a growing hunger for connection, meaning, and even spirituality in athletic performance.

The Future of Pets: Beyond Companionship

What if the single key to advancing humanity forward was as simple as owning a dog? It might sound far-fetched, but think about it: dogs are enablers of mindfulness, connection, and compassion.

In a world that’s increasingly disconnected and overwhelmed by technology, pets, especially dogs, are the grounding force we didn’t know we needed.

Let’s explore why the future of pets is so much bigger than we think and how these incredible companions might just hold the answers to unlocking our full potential as humans.

The Future of Los Angeles: City of Dreams, City of Ashes

Los Angeles has always been a city of reinvention. From its origins as a pueblo to its evolution into the entertainment capital of the world, LA has consistently reshaped itself to stay ahead of the times.
