In this episode, we explore global migration trends—what’s driving people to move, where they’re heading, and how climate change, geopolitics, and shifting demographics are rewriting the rules. We dig into emerging talent hubs like Indonesia, the rise of mobility as a hedge for Americans, and the paradox of migration into climate-vulnerable regions. We also touch on animal migration and interspecies impacts, reminding us that movement isn’t just a human story. What does it mean to move, stay, or belong in a future defined by change? We consider the signals shaping what’s next—and the possibilities that movement might open up.
