Episode 20: Trust Us, Reputation is the Future!

Fireside Chats with Empathic Futures Lab

In this 20th episode we discuss the role that reputation will play in the future. We worked from a poignant article written in Fast Company by Gloria Origgi, an Italian philosopher. In this piece she dissects how she believs that reputation will take over information as the primary driver for how we make decisions. From here we discuss how reputation and branding interact. We also discuss the role that biases play in our understanding of reputation, and how you might be able to shift those biases. But when reputation is so significant you need a real way to verify someone or something is who they say they are. And we think that is where Foam may come in. A blockchain system designed to provide proof of location based on interactions in a physical world. And we discuss more, so tune in to this episode to get the full scoop of ideas.
