In today’s episode of The Future is How, questions take center stage. Questions shape our futures much more than we believe in everyday life. Marc Champagne, author of “Personal Socrates” and podcast host of “Behind the Human” is a pioneer in mental fitness, who explores the practices of brilliant thinkers, visionaries, and high-impact performers. He trained thousands of professionals to gain clarity in momentsthat matter. The next big disruption, Marc believes, will not be technological, but psychological.
In our conversation today, we talk about:
• What if the future is more about asking the right questions than having answers
• Navigating the between world of constant anxiousness
• Being present, preparing for the future
• The mental gym: Training your future-muscle
• Career, calling and happiness
• The right questions to ask yourself to shape your own future
