In this episode, Don MacPherson, researcher, futurist, and host of the 12 Geniuses podcast, joins Tegan Trovato to challenge the common narrative of decline and instead offer a data-backed perspective on human progress.

Drawing from decades of research on leadership, workplace culture, and global trends, Don breaks down why looking at the bigger picture over time tells a far more hopeful story about our world. From advances in healthcare and technology to the rise of abundance and longevity, he makes the case for why humanity is on a positive trajectory—even if it doesn’t always feel that way.

This episode is a must-listen for leaders, changemakers, and anyone ready to shift their mindset from fear to informed optimism. Tune in to discover how you can use a broader perspective to navigate uncertainty, lead with confidence, and embrace the opportunities ahead.
