Chris Riddell is an award-winning global futurist, forensic optimist and truth teller. 

Voted in the top 5 most inspirational keynote speakers, Chris is a trend spotter, media commentator and digital expert who provides powerful insights into emerging trends and human behaviour, and has delivered keynote experiences to nearly a quarter of a million people in 27 countries.

Enlivened by the real world, by humanity, and by ‘the now’, Chris makes sense of the uncomfortable, challenging and dystopian technology-driven world of ‘the future’ by instead making the case for connection, optimism and the unlocking of opportunities to propel us all forward into an exciting, new reality.

In this episode of Human Cogs, hosts Sabina Read and Madeleine Grummet chat with Chris about his unwavering faith in humanity enduring and innovating to problem solve for the ethical and global challenges of our times. 

We also traverse topics that go deeper into the human Chris is: why the pursuit of perfection has him often sailing to the very edge of the cliff in himself; how the threads and patterns of his past have shaped his present; and why he’s never sleeping, forever flying and always searching. 

Hosts: Sabina Read and Madeleine Grummet
