A BI-WEEKLY INTERVIEW SERIES
Presented in partnership with Rhode Island PBS, Future of XYZ explores big questions about where we are as a world and where we want to go.
In quick and candid conversations with innovative leaders, we share unique perspectives about what’s coming down the pipeline on topics ranging from business and technology, to art, science, and humanity broadly.
The XYZ in our name is a mathematical variable representing the changing and dynamic nature of these discussions, as well as a hopeful destination towards which we can collectively move.
Introduction
Hi! I’m Lisa, Creator & Host of Future of XYZ. I launched Future of XYZ in the midst of the global COVID pandemic in November 2020. Now, a few years on- I’m not only still curious about newarly EVERYTHING- but now, we’re partnering with Rhode Island PBS to deliver even more amazing episodes.
