Beyond Fear: The Futurist, John Hagel III

Good Morning  to you on July the 5th. I wanted to introduce my guest to you, a man who has been a thought leader of the Silicon Valley and some of the most important think tanks there are. John Hagel is the retired co-chairman for Deloitte Center for the Edge. He has nearly 40 years of experience as a management consultant, author, speaker, and entrepreneur. He has served as senior vice president of strategy at Atari, Inc., and is the founder of two Silicon Valley startups. He is the author of "The Power of Pull" & "Net Gain"; "Net Worth"; "Out of the Box" and "The Only Sustainable Edge"  and five more books, his most current  and perhaps relevant to the fast paced world we  inhabit is "The Journey Beyond Fear," which was  published in 2021. 

John holds an assortment of degrees which encompass a  B.A. from Wesleyan University, a B.Phil from Oxford University and a J.D. and MBA from Harvard University. The  impressive diversity of John’s  interdependent interests and expertise tie together his ability to stand as a  futurist  and trusted advisor in both the  digital and entrepreneurial space. To that point, he is credited with coining the term ‘infomediary,’ which seems to tie in beautifully with the theme of his SXSW presentation in March.
