In this special on-location edition of the podcast, Ady Floyd, a senior research manager at Trendhunter, shares her ideas and tips about creating a keynote speech.
With 20,000,000 monthly views, TrendHunter.com is the world's largest, most popular trend community. The Toronto-based group leverages big data, human researchers, and AI to identify consumer insights and deep-dive opportunities for the world's most innovative companies.
In exchange for recording this podcast and writing about them, the Trendhunter folks allowed me to experience their Los Angeles Future Festival in person.
I interviewed Ady just after she delivered her keynote on future trends in retail. She shares her tips about how to develop a keynote, how to polish your ideas, and her best piece of advice for anyone considering giving a keynote.
For my audio geek friends reading and listening, this is a location recording, so there’s a little background noise at the start.
Thanks for listening,
Lee

In this episode of Now Here’s Something, Bodhi and I go deep for three minutes about the dilemma we all face now: screen or paper.

There have already been two fiction series posted on this blog. The first, Wait, Wut, was about adapting to the impossible conditions imposed on us by the pandemic.

Introducing ... Now Here's Something

Hello! During the last few months in this space, I’ve been posting a series of short-form stories from the future. I need to give the time machine a little rest (those things can overheat if used every day) and I need a little time to write up the ideas for the next short-form series.
So, during this period of incubation and fermentation, I’d like to present a podcast. Bodhi, my youngest son, and I have recorded some blips that I hope you will enjoy. The first one asks the important question, “Are cats worth it?”
The name “Now Here’s Something” comes from what Bodhi says when he wants to redirect the conversation from a topic that is blah to a topic that is interesting to him.
In the podcast he plays a 20-year-old. He is eight years old in real life.

How the climate crisis affects the food chain
Hello, I am Bodhi Schneider and I’m gonna teach you how the climate crisis affects the food chain.
First, do you know what climate change is? If you don’t hear is what it is: climate change can do a lot of damage. it is caused by greenhouse gases which include carbon dioxide and methane. These gases trap heat inside of the air and causes earth to warm up. Now, since carbon dioxide and methane trap heat inside of the earth it can melt ice caps …
-cracking noise
… and warm weather patterns permanently. That’s what climate change is.
And how that affects the food chain? Well, imagine three fish. fish1 fish2 and fish3. If fish1 dies out because of the hot weather.
-blazing sun noise
fish2 has nothing to eat therefore fish2 starves to death. And since fish3 can’t eat fish2 Fish3 also starves to death. That’s how the climate change crisis affects the food chain.
