Reframing the Future: A Data-Backed Look at Human Potential

In this episode, Don MacPherson, researcher, futurist, and host of the 12 Geniuses podcast, joins Tegan Trovato to challenge the common narrative of decline and instead offer a data-backed perspective on human progress.

Drawing from decades of research on leadership, workplace culture, and global trends, Don breaks down why looking at the bigger picture over time tells a far more hopeful story about our world. From advances in healthcare and technology to the rise of abundance and longevity, he makes the case for why humanity is on a positive trajectory—even if it doesn’t always feel that way.

This episode is a must-listen for leaders, changemakers, and anyone ready to shift their mindset from fear to informed optimism. Tune in to discover how you can use a broader perspective to navigate uncertainty, lead with confidence, and embrace the opportunities ahead.
