Summary
What does it really take to see the future before it arrives?
Guy Kawasaki sits down with Brian Solis, author of Mindshift, to unpack how leaders can stop reacting and start shaping what’s next.

Brian shares practical frameworks for breaking out of “business as usual” and building movements that create change. If you want to stop playing catch-up with the future, this conversation is your wake-up call.
