Curious Worldview Podcast

Tom Raftery is the Global VP, Futurist, and Innovation Evangelist for SAP, an inspirational keynote speaker and global influencer on how digitization and innovation are creatively disrupting our world.

I first heard Tom feature on Smarter Markets with Erik Townsend and was blown away by his optimistic worldview. True to his Irish roots, he communicated a narrative with charisma that is so often bumbled and fluffed around by his scientific comrades.

Renewable energy has a lot of bad PR working against it. There is certainly merit to being sceptical in the face of change, but since we know that our current energy consumption is destroying the planet why is the green message so hard to swallow?

Noel Bagwell is a man of many hats. He is the president of ExecutiveLP and the host of the Profit From Legal Podcast.

This podcast was a touch different to the usual, where instead of a free-wheeling discussion about Noel and his interests I instead ask him 4 very targeted and specific questions. I am really happy with how the episode turned out and hope you enjoy it as well.
