Florence Gaub discusses her journey and how to maintain a positive outlook on the future amidst challenges.

How do you think about the future? Does it make you anxious? Are you an optimist or a doomsdayer? Today we sat down with Florence Gaub, a futurist and author at NATO, who shares her unique journey from growing up in Munich to becoming an avid surfer and a key figure in today's world of geopolitics. We chat about her unique approaches to living life in the present and how to balance future challenges with optimism, action, and a bit of what she calls compassionate courage: how to stay grounded in the present but still be ready for what comes next.
