Boy, oh boy! This was a really fun interview. On today’s show, we have the distinct pleasure to talk to Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler. Peter was recently named one of the world’s 50 Greatest Leaders by Fortune Magazine, and he’s the founder and executive chairman of the XPRIZE Foundation. Steven is a New York Times bestselling author, and award-winning journalist, and he has an expertise in neuroscience, exponential technologies, and peak performance. These two have a new book that’s coming out that’s called, The Future is Faster Than You Think. And let me tell you, this is a mind-boggling discussion about what kind of technology is coming in the next ten years. So without further delay, here’s our chat with Peter and Steven.

All right, everybody! Thanks for joining us here at The Investor’s Podcast. I’m your host, Preston Pysh. And as always, I’m accompanied by my co-host, Stig Brodersen. And boy, oh boy, is this exciting! Peter, Steven, we got you guys here. This is super exciting for me to be able to talk to both of you guys. So thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to be on our show. So let’s start out by discussing technologies that you think–I guess I’m just jumping right into this, right into the heart of this discussion–and what are some technologies that you guys think are going to be the biggest disruptions in the coming ten years? Because there’s so much you can talk about, but I guess we’re interested most–and I’m sure you guys are as well–AI; robotics; virtual reality; we got digital biology. All these, these big themes that you guys talk about in your new book. I’m kind of curious which one you would pick out of that mix to talk about first.
