What is Unusually Well Informed about?

Welcome to the Unusually Well Informed podcast. I am your host,
Tim Hampton.


This is a brief episode - just me and a microphone. My goal is to
introduce you to the themes of this show.


The show began primarily as an opportunity for me to gather the
most interesting people I know and learn more about their
passions and projects.


Always in motion is the future, said Yoda. I believe this is
particularly true today.


Exponential changes in technology - automation - artificial
intelligence - biotechnology - computing and connectivity - will
create opportunities and side effects.


As citizens and consumers - as leaders and entrepreneurs - we
will shape and be shaped by these changes.


Some episodes will be about how to identify and execute on that
trillion dollar idea. Where do great ideas come from? How do we
build on these ideas? How do we know when to pivot and when to
persevere?


Other episodes will be about how we as citizens can shape a world
dominated by private enterprise. Can we embrace the material
abundance that technology offers without compromising our sense
of purpose and community, our liberty, our privacy or our
environment?


My conviction is that yes we can.


I hope you will join me to hear from experts in their field as we
explore the future and our place in it. If you have a show idea,
or know someone who would be an ideal guest, please email me at

Stay tuned to the end to listen to the theme music for the show
played in its entirety. I think it’s an arresting piece of music
by Nihilore - one of his many.
