About How We Future with Lisa Kay Solomon
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 (http://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.

How a Library Can Change Your Community with the Urban Library Council’s Shamichael Hallman
Published 20 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] And I now no longer say that it is it is more than books. I now say that is books and more. And it's a very small it's a very, very small change. But at its core, it recognizes the importance of the book. You know, you mentioned this, that when you walk in the library, there is a diversity of books written by a diversity of people from a diversity of backgrounds and understandings and ways of approaching life. And all of those books are on the shelf. And we're able to go and freely access those books and engage with the ideas and engage with the narratives and take those back to our neighborhoods, take those back to our families, take those back to our jobs.
