From The Archives: Jamie Metzl

In this episode of the GDA Podcast, Gail Davis and Kyle Davis sit down with Jamie Metzl, a futurist whose wide-ranging career has included roles in the White House, State Department, Senate, and United Nations. Jamie brings those experiences together to help people understand the big-picture changes shaping our world.

Jamie explores major shifts in geopolitics, genetics, biotechnology, and human longevity and why understanding the future requires looking beyond the headlines. He also shares how storytelling can make complex ideas more accessible and help people recognize how changes happening today could impact their own lives.

Key topics include:

• The major forces reshaping geopolitics and the global order
• Why some of the biggest changes happening today aren't always making the biggest headlines
• How genetics and biotechnology could transform what it means to be human
• Using storytelling to make complex ideas easier to understand
• The possibilities and questions surrounding human longevity and life extension
• Why curiosity and looking at the bigger picture are essential for understanding the future

Jamie’s message is a reminder that revolutionary change often requires us to rethink our assumptions about what the future can look like—and stay curious about the forces shaping what comes next.
