I recently did a podcast on what it’s like to be a futurist and various other futurist-related topics. The interview was conducted by Hope Katz-Gibbs of BeInkandescent. Among the specifics we covered:

  • What it means to be a futurist
  • The popular book, ConsumerShift, and what the future of consumerism looks like
  • The study for MTV about the future of youth happiness
  • The future studies program at the University of Houston: Who attends, what he teaches, and what kind of jobs are out there for futurists
  • Previous work at Kellogg, and type of work a futurist does for large corporations
  • And Hines’s own plans for the future
