Information flows in a conversation with a Futurist, an Artist and a Dean

Faith Popcorn (Futurist) Karen Zoid (Queen of Rock) Jon Foster-Pedley (Henley Business School | Dean)

In this episode:
Carmen Murray has an outrageous conversation with Faith Popcorn, Karen Zoid, and Jon Foster-Pedley that will be the gas in your tank.

Faith Popcorn, the world-renowned futurist and founder of BrainReserve (the Nostradamus of Marketing with the accuracy of a sniper) gives us a glimpse looking through the keyhole of the future and talks about what has changed for her during COVID-19 and how she is responding to this new world we now entered and what this means to us all.

She also reveals her wish to write a song with Karen Zoid.

Jon Foster-Pedley, Dean and Director of Henley Business School Africa, guitarist, and the mastermind behind the 'Education Movement' allows the information to flow, and he shares such great insights about the new business world we have now embarked on through the art of storytelling.

Karen Zoid, South African rock singer, songwriter, guitarist, composer, and talk show host states to the world where she is looking from and asks burning questions of Faith. Karen shares her take on collaboration, the rock stars of tomorrow, and who will bring the biggest change in the future. Karen Zoid is also the 'President' of The Republic of Zoid Africa, which started as a joke, because former South African president Jacob Zuma had a 'trillion ministers', and this launched a very successful TV Show. She ordains Faith, Jon, and Carmen as ministers of her cabinet and what it means to her, and a ground-breaking performance as she sings out the show with a song.

You can also enjoy more content with Carmen Murray as co-host with John Vlismas, on The IN with the TWO Outsiders podcast available wherever you find your podcasts.
