Welcome back! Today, we have the pleasure of hosting Jeff Desjardins, Editor-in-Chief of  @visualcap & author of the 2021 book ‘Signals: The 27 Trends Defining the Future of the Global Economy.’

In this episode, Jeff maps out the trajectory of the 'Exponential Age,' spotlighting the impact of the new space race, the genomics revolution, and the relentless pace of accelerating technology.

We kick off the conversation by exploring the challenges of discerning signals from noise in a world in which technology is developing at exponential rates and the amount of data available is greater than ever before. Jeff shares insights into the key factors fuelling demand for space-related products and services, highlighting major players in global satellite distribution, such as @SpaceX. Delving into genomics, he highlights significant milestones, including the recent FDA approval of the first CRISPR cell therapy designed to treat sickle cell disease. Jeff also discusses potential breakthroughs in areas like cancer treatment, where CRISPR's revolutionary capabilities hold immense promise. Finally, he explains the ‘signal range’ and ‘signal-to-noise ratio’ scores assigned to both themes in his book before sharing his take on the next big idea. Enjoy!
