AI is reshaping industries and jobs faster than most of us can keep up. But futurist Amy Webb argues we have more control over what lies ahead than we might think.

In today’s episode, Jessi Hempel sits down with Amy, founder and CEO of the Future Today Strategy Group and one of the world’s leading experts on strategic foresight. For nearly two decades, Amy’s annual tech trends report has helped leaders understand what’s coming next, and what to do about it.

Amy and Jessi explore the concept of creative destruction—the economic force that disrupts old systems to make room for new ones—and what today’s wave of AI-driven change means for workers, leaders, and organizations.

Amy and Jessi discuss:

What creative destruction really means, and why we should embrace it
How AI and emerging technologies are transforming industries faster than many leaders expect
How leaders can strategically prepare for trends and crises, rather than merely reacting to them
Why organizations need to invest in foresight and long-term thinking
How individuals can position themselves to adapt and thrive during rapid transformation
