In 2026, your new ROI should be ROF - "Return on Failure"
We are on Day 6. We've reset your clock, cleared the path, built your courage, turned on your radar, and accelerated your learning.
Now, we need to completely rewire your relationship with failure.
Why? Because, as the saying goes, in a fast world, innovators fail faster!
Think about it. In a linear, slow-paced world, mistakes were expensive, permanent, and career-limiting. You spent years perfecting a product or strategy behind closed doors to ensure a flawless "Big Bang" launch. The ultimate metric was ROI—Return on Investment—and "failure" meant negative ROI.
Those days are gone. In an exponential world, that math is backwards. The new reality is that not making mistakes fast enough is the biggest mistake of all.
If you aren't making mistakes, you aren't moving fast enough. You aren't testing the boundaries. You are operating on old assumptions while the world shifts beneath your feet.
In that context, your goal isn't to avoid failure; it's to maximize what you learn from it to do it better the next time, right away. Every failure gives you invaluable data, insight, and lessons about speed. You need to make more mistakes, make them faster, and make them better, meaning they are small, calculated experiments designed to yield maximum learning, not sloppy errors born of carelessness.
In other words, make more better mistakes!
You really need to understand why this is so important - read the post for more.

"Learn faster than knowledge appears. It’s your only sustainable advantage." - Futurist Jim Carroll

----We are three days into resetting your mindset for 2026.
Day 5? It's all about learning velocity, and the fact that you need to stop relying on your degree and start learning for your life!
I want you to implant this idea firmly in your mind right now: skills decay. Add to that concept the idea of the half-life of knowledge. Layer on top of it my often-repeated phrase - the ability to master just-in-time knowledge is key.
The former is happening faster because the latter is becoming smaller. Once you understand that, you need much of what you need to know for 2026 - your ability to align and realign to the new velocity of knowledge will be key to everything you do.Think about the change we are in the midst of. In a linear world, your education was a finite event. You went to college, got a degree, learned a trade, or got a set of professional skills, and that block of knowledge was something you could rely upon for a 30-year career with only minor maintenance.
But in an exponential world, knowledge is not just growing; it’s exploding. I've written about this a lot, but it bears repeating. I often share on stage the fact that the average half-life of a professional skill has collapsed from 10-15 years to just 5 years today. Or the fact that it is said that half of what you know today will be obsolete in five years, if not sooner. In some high-tech fields, that timeline is compressed even further, with knowledge potentially doubling in a matter of months or even hours.
This means that if you are relying on what you already know, i.e, with your past degree, your decade of experience, to carry you through 2026, you are driving on fumes. Your battery is empty, your mind is out of gas, and you'll soon hit the limit of where you can go.
Bottom line? The knowledge that got you here is decaying faster than you can replace it with linear learning methods.
In that context, the defining characteristic of a successful professional in 2026 will not be their stock of knowledge, but their rate of learning.
Principle 6? The discipline you must master is Learning Velocity.

--We are three days into resetting your mindset for 2026. You understand the speed of change (Temporal Literacy), you’ve started clearing the deadwood (Self-Pruning), and you’re building the courage to act without perfect clarity (Ambiguity Tolerance).
Now, you need a radar system! One that allows you to do a better job of understanding what comes next, and what you need to know about it, long before you have to do anything about it! Way back in 2007, I wrote about the idea of this when I outlined my 'Trends & Innovation' Model.' Right there, at the top of this iterative loop, is the 'radar'. It's what you do to find the signals through the noise.
I'll come back to this in a moment - for now, keep the idea in mind.
Here's how things have changed with the model. In a linear world, change happened slowly enough that you could afford to be reactive. You could wait until a trend became obvious, analyze it, and then adapt.
In an exponential world, by the time a trend is obvious, it's usually too late to leverage it.
That means if you are reading about a disruptive technology on the front page of a mainstream business site, the exponential opportunity phase is likely already over. You are now in the reactive phase, playing catch-up against those who saw it coming three years ago. And that's why the idea of Anticipatory Intelligence has become so important in 2026 - you need to work harder to stay ahead of the trends that might impact you, before the trends actually impact.
This is a problem for most folks. The mistake most professionals make is that they are so obsessed with managing the present—the daily fires, the quarterly results, the immediate emails—that they never lift their heads to scan the horizon. They are driving a 200-mph Ferrari while staring intently at the dashboard indicators, oblivious to the cliff approaching up ahead.
To lead in 2026, you need to shift from being reactive to being anticipatory. The discipline for this is Anticipatory Intelligence.
Here's what you need to do....

"Don't try to be certain, be decisive." - Futurist Jim Carroll

---If Day 1 was about seeing the speed of the future, and Day 2 was about clearing the path, Day 3 is about finding the courage to walk it.
Particularly when you don't know what the hell is going on. Welcome to 2026!
Here's the thing about where we are today - in a linear world (aka "the olden days", say, 2 or 3 years ago), you could wait for clarity. You could gather 95% of the data, build a perfect consensus, and then make a low-risk decision.
That world is gone.
Today, the speed of change outpaces the speed of data collection.
You need to learn to make decisions despite a wild lack of clarity, a stunning amount of uncertainty, a scary amount of volatility, and a staggering degree of velocity.
Take a look around - everyone is faced with big, fast change, and don't know what to do about it! We've become a society of deer in the headlights, staring at the bright lights of oncoming exponential change, and yet don't know how to move out of the way - or jump right into it. (Weird metaphor, I know!)
Here's the thing - In every sector, the core uncertainty is the same: Trends are moving exponentially faster than our linear ability to regulate, build, or adapt to them.
If you wait for perfect clarity in this environment, you are waiting for a moment that will never arrive!
The discipline required to thrive here is Ambiguity Tolerance, and you need to master it.

Daily Inspiration: "Create more happy!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
In just about two weeks, I'll be headed to Abu Dhabi, where I will speak to a senior group of government ministers and executives for the seven Emirates. I'm quite looking forward to the talk and working with this group.
The process to book me started a few weeks ago, and as with many major organizations, can often become quite complex for a seemingly simple speaking engagement. There is a contract to sign, a procurement system in which to be set up, paperwork to be exchanged, and payment to be processed. In every engagement of this type, there are inevitably some bumps along the way, which is often a challenge given the extremely short booking timeline. It can be a time-consuming and painful process - American Express once had to pay our fee via PayPal because they could not get their internal payment system aligned to our payment terms!
Some issues began to unfold with this situation - entirely not unexpected - and my wife and I were diligently working through the process with several folks on the other side of the contract. There were the inevitable hiccups and delays ... until someone with the title Expert with the Customer Happiness Center Department of the Ministry of Cabinet Affairs got involved ... and pushed our information through the procurement system.
The what?
The Customer Happiness Center!
The job description title caught my attention, as did the idea of a department focused on happiness. Immediately, the thought came to my mind - in this world of accelerating expectations, increasing demand for quality service, and often instant online feedback, what many organizations need to delight both suppliers and customers is a Customer Happiness Center!
Make more happy!

"In times of chaos and fear, purposeful action is power" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Act boldly. Fear feeds on hesitation.
Think about this moment. Confidence is fragile. Every headline screams volatility.
And just like that, a wave of fear rolls in—bringing hesitation, doubt, and paralysis.
Are you letting the fear freeze your future?
Have you become the deer in the headlights?
But here’s the truth: the antidote to anxiety is action.
While others freeze, you can move.
While some debate what might go wrong, you can start building what could go right.
While people wait for signs an upturn, you can create your own little upturn, simply by acting.
Fear loves hesitation. It grows stronger when you pause, wait, scroll endlessly, or convince yourself that “now isn’t the time.” It thrives in your indecision, matures in the recesses of your uncertainty, and becomes a cancer in your inaction.
But bold action—no matter how small—immediately puts you back in the driver’s seat. It shifts your mindset from 'overwhelmed' to 'engaged.' It puts you in control. It gets you out of your doom cycle. It brings you back from focusing on where you are - to building momentum for where you could be.
You don’t have to launch a moonshot to make a difference. You don't need some huge stretch goal. You don't need to be chasing some grand vision. You just have to move:
Learn something new.
Start that project.
Test the idea.
Build the prototype.
Say yes.
Momentum beats perfection. Progress quiets panic. Action beats fear.
We are not victims of the future. We are its architects—if we choose to be.So when the uncertainty rises, meet it with motion.
When fear whispers “not yet,” answer back: “Watch me.”
Because the future doesn’t wait.
And neither should you.
What are you waiting for?

Daily Inspiration: "Chasing success? Be fast, bold, disruptive, focused, certain, flexible, anticipatory, and young at heart!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Two days ago, I found myself in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where I was the closing keynote speaker for the annual meeting of Protein Canada. (The song by the Guess Who might resonate in your mind!)
The organization is at the forefront of industry efforts to position Canada in the fast-emerging global plant-based protein industry. There is no doubt that we are seeing a seismic shift in consumer behavior as new dietary alternatives take hold, as global food demand continues to increase, and as new forms of opportunity and disruption envelope the industry.. built around these themes.
After taking them on a tour of trends and opportunities, disruptive ideas, and innovation, I closed with this slide, which is one of my Daily Inspiration posts from a few years ago.
Think BIG! Your future will thank you for it!

"Guess what? If you didn't do anything today to get out of your rut, it just became deeper!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
The thing about ruts is that you'll never get out of them if you don't start now!
Here are 10 signs that you're in a rut:
- clinging to the idea that "we've always done it this way."
- suffering from aggressive indecision.
- always displaying relentless negativity and pessimism.
- exhibiting deep complacency.
- over-reliance on past success and old glories.
- a culture that is risk-averse, fearing failure.
- a lack of urgency and procrastination.
- you rely on committees or rigid processes.
- you listen only to familiar voices.
- you resist adapting to change or new ideas.That's a good overview of rut-thinking.
Stuck there? Here are 10 ways to get out of it:
- commit to decisive action.
- cultivate optimism, focus on opportunities.
- break old habits, abandon routines.
- embrace risks, learn from failure.
- seek diverse ideas, challenge old thinking.
- prioritize continuous learning and skill reinvention.
- think big, embrace transformative ideas.
- build urgency and restore a sense of purpose.
- seek partners, collaborate effectively.
- manage culture to foster innovationDoes this get you thinking? It should.
Are you in a rut? Maybe!

Megatrend #3 of 30 - Human-Technology Integraton - "When technology and human biology merge, the boundaries of what medicine can achieve completely dissolve." - Futurist Jim Carroll
The boundary between technology and biology is blurring with neural interfaces, bio-monitoring, augmentation technologies, and medical device connectivity which we can refer to as bio-connectivity. It creates a new form of hyperconnected medicine, leading to entirely new categories of products, and services, not to mention ethical considerations.
This is a trend near and dear to my heart since I've been covering it in various forms, ever since I wrote a little book in 1997 called Good Health Online! It's also a topic I've covered in dozens of healthcare conferences over the years as a future trend, and it's fantastic to see it finally emerging. Just last week, this topic was one of the four pillars that I covered in a keynote for a major medical device company.
Why is it important? Let's put it this way - with the rapid acceleration of lifestyle disease worldwide, the holy grail for everything in the healthcare system is cost management. That's where the role of medical devices comes in. How about simple iPhone blood pressure and other health heart monitoring? John Hancock, a division of Manulife, offers savings to individuals who enroll in this type of disconnectivity program. It also, on a larger scale, engineers some overall cost savings in the system, negating further spending down the road in the costs of managing complex morbidity disease.
But that's just scratching the surface - here's where this trend takes us, in a slide from deck last week: "The future of health isn't just in our hands; it's on our wrists, around our hearts, and guiding every decision. Smart, connected devices are writing a new chapter where every patient is empowered, and care is truly continuous."
I shared this slide from my deck last week as well - this is where it takes us: "Continuous, real-time physiological data from wearables and implantables will become the new vital signs, allowing for personalized, predictive interventions long before symptoms appear."
At the forefront of this transformation are Wearable Health Devices, driving widespread consumer adoption. The next category is known as the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) - simply put, institutional (hospital, seniors care, clinics) medical devices becoming linked to the Internet. Then there is the even more exciting field of Connected Drug Delivery Devices: think of devices that monitor diabetics in real-time and deliver insulin automatically
It's a big trend, and growing bigger!

Daily Inspiration: "Enthusiasm matters!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
You've got to bring enthusiasm to your day!
To every single moment, every single instance of time, every single interaction with others, and to every single decision that you make through the day.
Enthusiasm matters!
That's a lesson that I've learned over time - sometimes the hard way.
When you spend your life out on a stage, with your most important work usually occurring first thing in the morning as the opening keynote, you've often marveled at your circumstance. You've got to be on fire, on point, on track, and the right side of your mind. You've got to be exciting, motivating, optimistic - and enthusiastic.
You've got to be lit - in the right way.
You've got to bring enthusiasm to your moment.
For a time, I lost my enthusiasm. I've been living this life of early morning keynotes for close to 35 years. That's a lot of time to have enthusiasm at the core of your soul! Around 10 years ago, after a long-term career that involved a constant stream of airports, hotels, taxis, stage checks, crowds, and more - my enthusiasm disappeared for a time. I burned out.
The impact showed in my work, deportment, attitude, and to be honest, personal health.
Then I found out how to bring my enthusiasm back.
And it's never been better!
Always remember one simple fact above all - enthusiasm can be contagious, inspiring those around you.
I brought that enthusiasm to the stage in Chicago yesterday, emphasizing to this crowd of hard-working contractors and construction folks that AI wasn't going to replace them, but was going to change them - and that they would do better to adapt to it with enthusiasm and hope, rather than running from it with fear and worry.
In essence, sharing with them the idea that their enthusiasm matters!

"You spend most of your time thinking about what you should be doing today. But you should be focused on what you need to do tomorrow!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
I was down in Dallas yesterday, speaking to a group of senior executives at Deloitte University. What a wonderful facility for the sharing of knowledge!
My topic was, as you might expect, a bit of a reality check on the potential role and use of AI in the corporate world. I'll have lots of great content to share over the days to come.
But suffice it to say, I don't only speak - I listen. I heard a rough idea of this phrase from one of the Deloitte executives, directly after my talk. (
I don't remember the exact words - just the idea behind the words!) He was talking to the group about how their roles and responsibilities were changing quickly in the era of fast-moving AI technologies - and his words floored me.
So many of the people I speak to about trends and tomorrow are relentlessly focused on today. They don't know how to shift the activity in their minds from the pressing moments of the current moment to the even more pressing moment of the next moment. The result is that when the future comes along - WHAM! It hits them like a ton of bricks."I didn't see that coming!" is the typical response.
Phrases like this catch my attention - they help me to frame the reality of what is going on in our world today.
It's also the type of phrase that can get you thinking. The next time you start your day with your typical list of 'to-do'items, ask yourself if you have enough on that list that has to do with tomorrow!
Some good food for thought!

My topic was, as you might expect, a bit of a reality check on the potential role and use of AI in the corporate world. I'll have lots of great content to share over the days to come.
But suffice it to say, I don't only speak - I listen. I heard a rough idea of this phrase from one of the Deloitte executives, directly after my talk. (
I don't remember the exact words - just the idea behind the words!) He was talking to the group about how their roles and responsibilities were changing quickly in the era of fast-moving AI technologies - and his words floored me.
So many of the people I speak to about trends and tomorrow are relentlessly focused on today. They don't know how to shift the activity in their minds from the pressing moments of the current moment to the even more pressing moment of the next moment. The result is that when the future comes along - WHAM! It hits them like a ton of bricks."I didn't see that coming!" is the typical response.
Phrases like this catch my attention - they help me to frame the reality of what is going on in our world today.
It's also the type of phrase that can get you thinking. The next time you start your day with your typical list of 'to-do'items, ask yourself if you have enough on that list that has to do with tomorrow!
Some good food for thought!

Daily Inspiration: "It's always better to play the long game" - Futurist Jim Carroll
One thing that has always guided me, and I intend to carry with me into 2025, is this statement often attributed to Bill Gates:
"We always tend to overestimate the rate of change on a two year basis, but underestimate the rate of change on a 10 year basis."
What will get me through 2025? First and foremost, knowing that thinking long-term is a crucial aspect of navigating a volatile world. Along with many other people, I think that 2025 be a wild and unpredictable year, and so keeping the long-term trends - playing the long game - will be a good way to stay focused on what matters.
That's not to say you shouldn't watch the trends in 2025 - while it's important to keep on top of short-term issues, losing sight of the long-term reality in the face of short-term challenges can be pretty detrimental. You'll end up obsessing over the volatility as opposed to focusing on the opportunity. Even so, that can be a challenge when short-term issues dominate the news. That's why I always suggest trying to keep an eye on the 'big future' - the long-term trends of real substance.
The fact is, individuals and organizations who prioritize short-term thinking often experience negative outcomes - because it can lead to missed opportunities, failed initiatives, and ultimately, failed strategies over the long term. Not only that but too much of a focus on short-term views can often bring despair - that's maybe a big issue in 2025. On the other hand, keeping a longer-term vision can help foster hope or reinforce it! It allows you to focus on long-term realities without being bogged down by short-term challenges.
All of that is going to be particularly important in 2025.
That's what I'll remind myself throughout the year of my oft-repeated phrase markets are not trends - they are often only short-term fluctuations that aren't necessarily indicative of the long-term trends shaping the future. In 2025, try to remain focused on the trends defining the future, even amidst the market volatility that will define the year.

"This might not be the future we wanted to be living in. But it need not be the only future that we are doomed to have!" -Futurist Jim Carroll
The rest of the world is tired.
Tired of the insanity, the depravity, the increasingly strange twists and turns of a mind that is becoming more unstable at every moment.
Later today, I'm off to keynote a Canadian automotive conference. Talk about an industry caught in the middle of the craziness! They probably never imagined ten years ago when I spoke to them that their future would be the subject of the wild twists and turns of a mind of madness.
That's probably why Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech in Davos has resonated so much all over the world. He put things clearly. It's time to move on. Recognize that the old future is gone. Build a new one!
Because at some point, you've got to admit that you've had enough - and do your own thing. Define your own game. Play by different rules when the old rules are gone.
"I'm aware that not everyone approved of how I played, but I don't think any apologies are in order. Early in my career, I decided that it was worth it to do whatever was necessary..." - Gordie Howe."
It might not be the future Canada wanted. But that being the case, Canada is busy engineering a different - and what will likely be a better - future.
There are very powerful leadership lessons here. Often, we don't end up with the future we want - and so it often becomes critical to define things so you can end up with a different - and often better - future.
Always keep that in mind.
When you've had enough, it's time to move on.
That's what the rest of the world is doing now.
Business needs to follow.

"Consistency is only a virtue if the path is still relevant." - Futurist Jim Carroll
Here's something you already know: doing the same old thing puts you on the road to the same old destination.
Keeping that in mind, here are some simple rules to avoid consistency:
Don’t wait for clarity because speed is the only certainty (we don't know where we're going, but we're making great time)
Don’t fear the pivot because the straight path is extinct (volatility is the new normal!)
Don’t ignore the rebels because they see what you’re missing (think about that one - you know it's true!)
Don’t rely on your history because it won’t write your future (legacy is a death sentence)
Don’t prioritize your process because the world prioritizes your progress (be creatively disorganized)
Don’t mistake activity for achievement because movement isn't always forward (invest in free time)
Don’t wait for clarity because speed is the only certainty (jump without knowing!)
Don’t fear the pivot because the straight path is extinct (change yourself already!)
Don’t seek the 'perfect' plan because agility beats perfection every time (you can't plan in a fast future)
Don’t build for today because tomorrow is already here (live forward...)
Don’t settle for the comfortable because growth only happens in discomfort (comfort zone stuff)
How do you do that?
Abandon the roadmap - it was made for a different time
Abandon your assumptions - because they are already anchors
Abandon the tried and true for new things
Abandon perfection because mistakes are your new knowledge opportunities
Abandon yesterday’s logic since it is now basically tomorrow's illogical foundation
Abandon the status quo because it's already obsolete
Abandon what you know to find what you don't know
Abandon the safe plan for the risky unknown
Abandon the analysis and go with your gut
Abandon what you've already done to find what you need to do next
What's the phrase we often hear? I heard it in a song yesterday while driving: "Today is only yesterday's tomorrow.' It's from Uriah Heep, a great 70s band.
Rethink it: "Tomorrow is yesterday's missed opportunity" if you don't change things up!

Futurist Jim Carroll has seen many companies fail at innovation because consistency is central to their culture.

"The road to the future can often be found in the missteps of the past!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
So, is there anything going on in the automotive industry right now?
What a wild industry!
Anyways, I spoke to this same event 14 years ago - and found an original interview. I pretty much nailed the predictions.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hB4nndpcOSg
Yet, there were many that were missed or a bit off.
Let's revisit! Here's a set of slides I used in my talk - looking back, looking at today, and looking forward.
The Politicization of the Drivetrain
Quite simply, electric vehicles became part of the culture wars.
The Linear March to Pure Electrification (BEV)
It was believed that one day, there would be ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles, and then there would be a world of all-EVs. It's not happening like that - hybrids are taking over as people simply weren't comfortable with full electric, for a variety of real (and not-so-real) reasons.
The Evolution of Autonomous Vehicles
Cars would drive themselves. Massive disruptive change! Didn't happen - it's hard to get to 99.9999% accuracy, which is pretty much what's required. I've got a Tesla with 'full self driving' - but am never really fully comfortable.
The Apple iCar Disruption
Everyone thought Apple was going to build a car, and it would be game-changing! It didn't happen.
Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) Replacing Ownership
People weren't going to buy cars because we were all going to be using car-sharing services. Nope.
Millennials Will “Kill" Car Culture
Not only that, but younger people weren't going to buy cars - because they were never into 'car culture.' Another nope - they got married, had kids, got cars!
The "Peak Car" Hypothesis
All of this meant that we were going to hit the top limit of sales.
Small Car Dominance (Urbanization)
And the car was going to keep becoming smaller. Um, LOL?
Low Interest Rate / Easy Credit Environment
Cars would continue to be inexpensive! Credit would be easy!
Western Hegemony in Auto Manufacturing
Western car companies would own the planet. Sorry, not happening. China does.
The Death of the Dealership (Agency Model)
Car dealers would die because we will buy all of our cars online. Some of this happened, but the dealers fought back!
The Powertrain & Energy Miscalculations
Diesel, baby! Oops! Fraud, baby!
Lessons? Sometimes the road to the future is found my examining the missteps of the past!

"Assumptions are dangerous illusions that bind us to an unsuccessful future." - Futurist Jim Carroll
In a world of exponential change, what you think you know is often your greatest liability.
That's because your ability to rely on assumptions offers a false promise of progress.
Why? Because if you are still operating on last year’s logic, you aren't just behind - you are watching a different movie entirely. You must dismantle your assumptions before they become organizational vulnerabilities.
I took a look at what I've written about the danger of assumptions, and came up with this list of 10 reasons why assumptions are dangerous to your success.
They Create Scale-Blindness: We are wired for linear addition, but the future is built on multiplication. Read my series for 2026 about exponential change. Assumptions leave you blind to the exponential tsunamis heading for your industry.
They Fuel Aggressive Indecision: The assumption that waiting for "perfect clarity" is safe leads to organizational sclerosis. In a volatile world, clarity is a myth.
They Anchor You to "The Olden Days": The hubris of experience suggests that because a strategy worked for 30 years, it will work tomorrow. Today, that experience is often just a heavy anchor.
They Blind You to "The Blur": We assume industry boundaries are fixed. The future happens in the blur between lines, where new competitors reinvent your model while you stay in your lane.
They Lead to Innovation Sclerosis: "We’ve always done it this way" is a red flag for an abandoned future. It prioritizes process over the imagination required to survive.
They Result in Strategic Hubris: Success leads to the illusion of invincibility. The moment you assume you have a "magic touch," you stop listening to the market signals that matter.
They Ignore the Wisdom Inversion: Hierarchy assumes seniority equals foresight. In reality, your youngest employees often have a clearer intuitive grasp of what’s next than the C-suite.
They Trap You in Pilot Purgatory: The assumption that you have years to roll out a "safe test" is a trap. You must move from experiment to massive deployment instantaneously.
They Create a Bunker Mentality: Many assume they can hunker down and wait for "normal" to return. It isn't coming back. Waiting is a suicide pact built on a fundamental misunderstanding of change.
They Rely on the Informed Delusion: We assume more data equals better decisions. Often, more data simply increases your belief in your existing assumptions while the world shifts beneath you.
The bottom line?
The moment you think your future is guaranteed is the moment it becomes certain that it isn’t!
Stop planning for the probable and start preparing for the unimaginable.

"When unimaginable headlines become reality, you've got to come up with once unimaginable strategies!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
If the future gets weird, maybe your strategies need to get weird as well.
Think about it: we are less than thirty days into 2026, and the rulebook hasn't just been rewritten—it’s been incinerated. We are witnessing a compression of history, where decades of change are now crammed into days. The definition of "stability" has evaporated, replaced by a relentless volatility that refuses to pause.
Headlines that were unimaginable a decade ago, let alone a year ago, are now common.
All of this means that if you are still operating on last year's logic, you aren't just behind; you are watching a different movie entirely. And this one isn't a rom-com, it's a horror show.
In that context, any comfort zone is gone. The headlines proving that "it can't happen here" are being printed daily. In this environment, caution is the most dangerous strategy of all. Thinking fast and moving faster is the only way through the mess.
To survive this year (and beyond), you need to dismantle your assumptions, destroy your complacency, and challenge your belief in stability..
You need to build strategies that feel as radical as the news cycle itself.
This means you have to stop planning for the probable and start preparing for the unimaginable.
Because the unimaginable is now reality.
After all, this week, Greenland, next week?

@JIMWARRAH The system is functioning as designed: to preserve extent centres of power from challenges, whether those challenges come from women speaking out in protest or women speaking out in naming their assailants.
This is #NotABug but a feature.
The same legal system delivers more planet-wrecking profit-making to the already wealthy on the say-so of a #corrupt government that has consistently aligned with #DirtyEnergy while denying the scientifically-backed evidence of #Indigenous truth-tellers.

I was recently once again reminded of the brilliant movie by #JimJarmusch, #GhostDog. About a guy in New York, living by the philosophy of the samurai. Lots of #Kaurismäki style black humour and #hiphop music. Which brought me to one of the tracks, by #WuTangClan, #FastShadow. There's something fantastically appealing about #RZA's lo-fi minimal, almost unpolished production, demonstrated well by this track.
