Bobby Fishkin is a futurist, inventor, and systems thinker who’s quietly shaping the world behind the scenes. In this episode, he sits down with Coach Carroll to unpack mind-bending ideas about how bots, collective intelligence, and ancient wisdom could be the keys to building a better, more sustainable future.
