Our global, existential problems cannot be solved with the mindset, institutions, and paradigms currently in place.

Instead, we must think beyond current economic, political, and social constraints—and even well beyond our individual life spans—to consider deeply the impact we will have on many generations into the future.

Indeed, the solutions we need require an applied mindset that this week’s podcast guest, futurist & author Ari Wallach ariw calls LONGPATH—an active way of being that cultivates future-conscious thinking and behavior to build more hopeful visions of the future, turn those visions into action, and foster more meaning in our lives and legacy.

This conversation asks a simple question: 

How do we become great ancestors to our future descendants?

The answer lies in understanding the crucial nature of our current ‘Intertidal’ moment, which demands we upend our traditional thinking about the future and develop something called ‘transgenerational empathy’.

It also requires orienting our lives around Telos, shouldering a life quest that is bigger than you that will help you make peace with death and gird your lived experience with greater meaning, purpose, and fulfillment.

The future is not a singular certainty. Nor is it solely fueled by technological advances in some far distant point in time. Instead, the future is manifesting now—and it is very much human.

 In this fascinating conversation Ari explains why.
