概要

There is no "they" who should determine our future. We are the "they."

Futurist, author, and educator Lisa Kay Solomon believes in doing hard things, optimistically. Each week, Lisa and her remarkable guests illuminate the skills and practices we all need to develop hope, hype, and gratitude: traits that are crucial to build towards a more positive future.

As Futurist in Residence at the Stanford d.school, where she teaches courses like "View from the Future" and "Futures Thinking for Strategic Decision Making," Lisa has spent her career making the tools of futures thinking accessible to everyone from K-12 educators to global executives. Now, through How We Future, she's bringing that same approach to you.

You'll hear from architects rethinking how we build, educators transforming how we learn, artists expanding what we create, coaches revealing what it takes to lead, and futurists mapping what's coming.

So far, How We Future has covered how to incorporate play into serious work, how wisdom and aging can be competitive advantages, and how creative risk-taking builds resilience. Other guests have included Dana Cowin, former Editor-in-Chief of Food & Wine, ten-time NCAA champion coach John Tanner, and Ahmed Best, who plays Jar Jar Binks in Star Wars.

Whether you're a student, a leader, an educator, or simply someone who wants to shape tomorrow rather than just react to it, you'll leave each episode with new questions, fresh perspectives, and a renewed sense that the future is something you get to participate in creating.

  • Make the Right Stuff Easier and the Wrong Stuff Harder with Friction Project’s Bob Sutton
    2026/05/05

    Is your time being wasted? Or are you wasting others’ time? So often, it seems that calendars fill up, processes multiply, and simple tasks become unnecessarily hard.

    In this episode, Bob Sutton joins Lisa Kay Solomon to examine how friction shows up at work: the meetings that shouldn’t exist, the processes that are way too complicated, and the small design choices that quietly shape whether people feel respected or drained.

    Drawing from years of research behind The Friction Project, Bob breaks down why leaders often add instead of subtract, and why that instinct creates hidden costs across teams and organizations. Bob shares why some forms of friction are worth protecting, how savoring plays a role in good design, and why clarity (not certainty) has become a leadership advantage.

    In this conversation, you’ll learn:

    • Why to treat time as something you’re accountable for, not entitled to spend
    • How “sham participation” quietly erodes trust
    • How leaders unintentionally magnify friction through weak signals
    • When slowing down actually improves performance and experience

    This episode is for anyone who wants to make work feel more humane without adding another framework, meeting, or tool.

  • How to Redesign Fixed Systems with Pro Volleyball Player Cassidy Lichtman
    2026/04/28

    What happens when you stop accepting the rules you’ve been handed and start redesigning the game itself?

    Cassidy Lichtman is a former U.S. National Team volleyball player, gender equity advocate, and the leader of professional volleyball at Athletes Unlimited. In this episode, Cassidy and Lisa explore what it takes to build futures that don’t yet exist, even when the system seems rigid.

    Cassidy shares the story of reimagining professional women’s sports in the U.S. What if athletes were centered as partners, not commodities? She breaks down how Athletes Unlimited is building leagues differently and why those choices matter far beyond sports.

    The conversation also dives into moments of decision-making in complicated moments, including how Athletes Unlimited responded when its values were tested, and how constraints, frustration, and “this doesn’t make sense” moments can become catalysts for systemic change. Cassidy models what it looks like to question “used futures” and create something better.

    In this conversation, you’ll learn:

    • How to spot systems that feel “off” and start redesigning them
    • How values can show up in business models
    • Why women’s sports offer a powerful blueprint for future-facing leadership

    This episode is a masterclass in agency, imagination, and long-term thinking—and a reminder that if a future doesn’t exist yet, maybe it’s yours to build.

  • Use Your Opportunities to Benefit Everyone with Athlete and Entrepreneur Chase Griffin
    2026/04/21

    How can you use your opportunities to benefit everyone?

    In this episode of How We Future, Lisa talks with Chase Griffin, former quarterback at UCLA, 2x NIL Male Athlete of the Year, and a leading voice in the evolution of college athletics.

    Chase shares how he learned to navigate moments of change—from NIL to civic engagement—by centering and designing for collective value. Together, they explore how leadership can happen from inside systems you didn’t create, and how athletes (and non-athletes alike) can turn personal opportunity into shared impact.

    This conversation is a course on turning influence into impact, and “me” into “we.”

    In this episode, we explore:

    • Lessons from being early in the NIL era—and why preparation mattered more than luck
    • How to structure partnerships that create real community benefit
    • Why athlete voices are often missing from conversations about college sports and Chase is changing that

    This week, maybe reflect on where in your own life you can redesign success so it benefits more than just you.

    If this episode resonated with you, leave a comment or review and share it with someone who’s navigating change—or creating it—from the inside.
