RHP #125. Bronwyn Williams, Futurist, Economist, Trend Analyst, Professional "Court Jester”

This conversation was absolutely fantastic. Bronwyn’s insights, worldview, knowledge, and the way she articulates her outlook on life and the world, is inspiring for anyone to listen to!

Her revealed optimism and philosophical perspective on the future and what it holds, will get you excited about the future and what opportunities await us. In what can sometimes seem like a bit of a dystopian and robotic future, Bronwyn will highlight the reasons why there is a lot to look forward to and that the human spirit will rise, as we will always have a necessity for our softer needs to be met.

Bronwyn Williams, is a futurist, economist, strategist, trend analyst, international speaker, avid reader, and published writer.
She believe’s trends should yield insights, insights should drive innovation and policy, and strategy should deliver quantifiable results. 

Bronwyn likes to be known as a professional “court jester”. A character that speaks truth to power and “rattles the cages” of the rich and powerful, by presenting important ideas in an entertaining manner that changes the most hardened hearts, using humour and wit, rather than brute force. Her ethos is to make us ‘be comfortable with being uncomfortable.’
