Exponentially with Azeem Azhar celebrates the creative, critical thinking used by leaders to conceive of a pragmatic vision for the near future, along with the deep understanding of what is needed to turn that vision into reality.

Each episode starts with an optimistic idea for what our lives might soon be like. Azeem and his guest then put that idea under the microscope in a relaxed conversation that explores the nuances and hidden assumptions behind what is possible and what is not, what is likely and what is far-fetched.
