Summary

Patrick Dixon was thrust to the forefront of the worldwide AIDS pandemic in the 1980s, and suddenly found himself becoming a truth-telling and influential world authority on the subject. He founded ACET which has impacted millions of lives across the globe.

His life then pivoted to working as a futurist, which has involved speaking at Davos, and advising and equipping some of the biggest companies in the world to plan for the future. So he ‘lives in 2050 and tomorrow is the past’. 

It was such an interesting and stirring interview that I had to draw it to a close and do a Part 2, which is available to watch on YouTube now, or available as a bonus episode on this channel in a few days time. You won’t want to miss it!

And I did.

things, either very dramatic on a big platform stuff or just, you know, living life under the

0:56.3

radar and seeing beautiful things happen. And basically, I think we're all tired and fed up

1:03.6

of being relentlessly bombarded by negativity in the press that just makes us feel more anxious

or cynical or depressed or downhearted.

1:12.9

And so it's good to hear beautiful stuff going on from around the world.
