I used to live in Palo Alto. I worked at the Palo Alto Research Center (where they discovered the mouse!) I'd get up earlier at the weekend than weekdays, to go surf in Santa Cruz. I love reading, writing and experiences... from the roller coasters at Six Flags in LA to horse riding in the Wasatch Mountains in Utah, to hearing unsigned bands in Nashville. My writing heroes are Michael Lewis, Malcolm Gladwell, Tom Wolfe. I've met one of them. One commentator once called me the 'Malcolm Gladwell of the experience economy'. That made my day. I've now written 2 books on the experience economy: Stuffocation (2015), Time And How To Spend It (2019). Stuffocation was reported in more than 200 media worldwide, from MSNBC to the BBC, from the New York Times to the Sunday Times and TIME magazine, from Finland to France, Korea, Colombia and Guatemala. I give talks... from Amsterdam to Berlin, California, Cannes, Dubai, Istanbul, Nashville and Las Vegas; from TEDxLondon School of Economics to the Royal Society of Arts, Google HQ, and 10 Downing Street. I'm a futurist and entrepreneur: - 1 x successful consultancy, The Future Is Here (2014–present) - 1 x failed startup, an experience gifting platform (2016-2018) - 1 x new startup, on a mission is to connect and promote the experience economy I'm a Sector Specialist, Experience Economy at the UK's Department for International Trade, advising the government on its experience economy strategy. I live in London at present, with my wife who's just trained to be an actress, and 2 awesome kids: Woody is learning to write, Indy-May can ride her bike and is learning to roller blade :-)
