Work With Me 🫵
Let's Explore Better Futures Together!
Hey! I'm Thomas – that's me up there on stage, talking about the colonial origins of capitalism – classic Thomas 😅. For over a decade, I've been diving deep into the trends, zeitgeists, and unconventional ideas of our times to understand the systems around us and use that knowledge to imagine and shape a better future.
It's not just what I do – it's who I am, and it’s why I started this newsletter!
Why Team Up With Me?
Many people tell me that I have a knack for spotting the current zeitgeist and framing it in a way that is different yet deeply resonant and useful for strategic guidance and for inspiring new perspectives.
