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.

    What kind of future becomes possible when we lead with empathy?

    This episode of How We Future features Notre Dame Leadership professor, executive coach, and Master Teacher of Business Ethics Christopher Adkins. Chris and Lisa explore why empathy may be one of the most essential skills for navigating an increasingly complex future.

    Drawing on decades of experience designing transformative learning experiences, Chris shares how empathy goes far beyond simply understanding another person's perspective. It's about creating the conditions for people to feel seen, heard, and capable of contributing their unique experiences. Whether you're leading a team, designing products, facilitating conversations, or building community, empathy is a powerful tool for unlocking creativity, trust, and possibility.

    In this conversation, you'll hear about:

    • Why meaningful learning begins with listening before solving.
    • How great facilitators create spaces where everyone feels they belong.
    • The role of vulnerability and trust in building stronger teams and communities.
    • Practical ways to strengthen your empathy in everyday conversations and leadership.

  • The Eames Philosophy: Curiosity, Creativity & Better Questions with Chief Curator Llisa Demetrios

    The Eames Philosophy: Curiosity, Creativity & Better Questions with Chief Curator Llisa Demetrios
    2026/07/28

    How can curiosity change the way you approach a challenge?

    In this special episode of How We Future, Lisa Kay Solomon travels to the Eames Institute of Infinite Curiosity in Richmond, California, for a conversation with Llisa Demetrios, Chief Curator of the Institute and granddaughter of legendary designers Ray and Charles Eames.

    Surrounded by the Eames collection itself, Lisa and Llisa explore the stories, philosophies, and design principles that shaped Ray and Charles' extraordinary work. From iconic furniture to exhibitions, films, architecture, toys, and educational experiences, the Eames believed that design is about solving problems with empathy, curiosity, and care.

    Together, they discuss why prototyping beats perfection, why asking better questions matters more than having quick answers, and how designing for everyone who touches a product—not just the end user—can transform the way we solve problems.

    In this conversation, you'll hear about:

    • How curiosity, play, and experimentation fueled decades of innovation.
    • The importance of learning through failure.
    • Why great design considers every person involved
    • The story behind the famous Eames chairs

    Whether you're a designer, educator, leader, parent, or simply someone trying to navigate an increasingly complex world, this conversation is a reminder that curiosity is a skill we can all practice.

    If this conversation resonated with you, we'd love to hear from you.

    What's one problem in your own life or work that could benefit from a little more curiosity?

  • Mindshifting Strategies to Stay Open with Digital Anthropologist Brian Solis

    Mindshifting Strategies to Stay Open with Digital Anthropologist Brian Solis
    2026/07/21

    How do you stay optimistic in a world that feels increasingly uncertain?

    In this episode of How We Future, Lisa Kay Solomon sits down with futurist, bestselling author, and digital anthropologist Brian Solis to explore why the future will reward people who are willing to slow down, stay curious, and rethink what they know.

    Drawing from his latest book, Mindshift, Brian shares why innovation begins with self-awareness, how to break free from reactive thinking, and why it’s crucial to develop an open mind. Together, they discuss the power of storytelling, the importance of psychological safety, and how leaders should use AI to imagine new possibilities, instead of just increasing productivity.

    In this conversation, we cover:

    • Brian's Mindshift framework for navigating uncertainty and leading through change.
    • What companies like Pixar and Airbnb can teach us about innovation through storytelling.
    • How curiosity, wonder, and optimism can become leadership practices.
