We are extremely excited to start our series from Singularity University, which was on 23-24 August. And wow, what an incredible show, where 1,300 South Africans were exposed to the 29 future thinkers from all over the planet. The world is changing and these are the beautiful minds changing it. We had the privilege to interview most of these amazing people. To kick off the series off we spoke to Shayne Mann, who with his brother Mic Mann brought Singularity University to Africa. What an absolute gentleman and shape shifter.

The Futurology Team recently attended the SingularityU Summit in Johannesburg and had the privilege of interviewing many amazing people with a view of the future around things like Disruption & Exponential Technology. While they prepare the episodes from SingularityU, here's a previous episode, where the Bretts spent time with Brett Loubser of WeChat, discussing the book 'Sapiens' by Yuval Noah Harari.

Futurology is joined by Raymond Ledwaba and Gideon Ogongo where they tackle the problem of... solving problems. Ray and Gideon are establishing themselves as one of Africa's unique problems solvers using tech. The future of problem solving could be solved by communities solving one problem at a time - focus is key. A must listen if you are all about solving customer problems!
