Radiant Now : A Futurist’s Guide to Thriving in the Present ®

How will you, your organization, and your entire industry not merely survive, but rather thrive through times of radical and accelerating change?

For as long as there have been questions, there have been the quests – for answers. And the belief that someone, somewhere, somehow had them.

But what if the key to navigating change and thriving in the future is within you and your team? Unlock the powers of imagination, innovation, and strategic foresight with futurist, technologist, and anthropologist -- Sam Rad.

From hundreds of skydiving jumps that funded her first tech venture while still in college, to countless technology inventions 15 years too early, to her “after hours” side journeys as a crime-fighting security professional, and an inspiring journey spanning 50+ countries, Sam Rad is not just a radical futurist—she's a pioneer. Drawing from her life’s journey of groundbreaking achievements, Sam masterfully combines personal anecdotes, case studies, interactive experiences, and scientific research to present an immersive storytelling blueprint on navigating our radical next future -- and present.

Sam Rad offers not just sage advice, but also candidly gripping, and unapologetically relatable anecdotes that ignite a fire of 'Radical Resilience' within. Discover how to harness the chaos, break free from societal constraints, and craft an organization (and life) that's not only reactive to change but revels in it.

• Harness intuitive intelligence and unlock the secrets of future forecasting.
• Initiate transformational shifts by editing your organization's "DNA."
