[3A] BONUS: Empathic Future with Jeremy Rifkin
Log in to listen to a great 30 minute excerpt from my chat with Jeremy Rifkin about the future of human purpose in a tech-drenched world without work.

[3] Taking Down Uber with Jeremy Rifkin
In the latest episode of The McFuture podcast, I spoke with the remarkable Jeremy Rifkin.

Profiting from the death of masculinity
At a conference last week, I noticed something peculiar. A tall man was talking business with a woman well over a foot shorter. The sheer disparity in their size made me realize something really important – that she will never know the joys of finishing a full serving of Chipotle! No, that’s not it. It
