and former google exec frederick fert on preparing yourself for the future. that's this week on press here. good morning everyone. i'm scott mcgrew. as someone who covers technology for a living, i deal with the future pretty much every day. the next iphone developments in ai and what it means for jobs and education. green energy that may someday save the planet for our grandchildren. so i am constantly looking at new ideas, future ready, i would think. but i kind of suspect there will come a day when i am old enough that i will say, okay, that's enough, because that's what we dos humans. we reach some point in our old age and we quit learning things and adapting and adopting, and it it all seems too much and i don't want to do that, which is why i want to hear from frederick fert, who teaches people how to be future ready. his new book is what's next is now. frederick is the former chief innovation evangelist at google. frederick joins us from what appears to be his habitat on mars. frederick, is this your house? it is beautiful. yes. thanks for having me. i
