Conversation with Futurist - Lynn Casey

Conversations with Lisa: This Moment in Time

This conversation completely reframed how I think about the future. Lynn Casey is a futurist who works with companies like Mattel, Meta, YouTube, and Target, and she just got back from Stanford where she heard something from Gen Z students that blew my mind.

Instead of feeling overwhelmed by all the change happening around us, I walked away from this chat genuinely excited about what's coming next. Lynn helped me see that while we're panicking about problems, there's an entire generation stepping up who aren't trying to fix what's broken - they're building something entirely new.

Key Moments:

• [06:10] The Gen Z mindset shift that changed everything: "We're not here to solve prior generations' problems - this is our world to build"
• [25:22] Why young people are making queuing cool again and demanding real-life experiences
• [43:39] The two essential skills for navigating our future (spoiler: you probably already have them)
• [56:43] The surprising resurgence of human-made everything
• [1:01:35] Why 2025 is a "nine year" - and what that means for what's coming next

This conversation genuinely shifted something in me. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by all the change happening, I'm actually excited about what this next generation is going to create.
