Futurism Explained - Quantitative Futurist Amy Webb & Research Questions | Behind The Hustle Ep.8

About this video

Sam and Shaan discuss insights from futurists about opportunities and trends in a post-COVID world. They feature quantitative futurist Amy Webb, who shares her five-question framework for anticipating change: identifying where people waste time, struggle with technology, seek information, feel stuck, and how they want to be perceived.

Key takeaways

• Futurists study signals and trends using interdisciplinary methods like mathematics, engineering, and forecasting models—they don’t predict the future but analyze likely outcomes
• Amy Webb’s five-question framework helps entrepreneurs and job-seekers position themselves: examine time waste, technology friction, information-seeking patterns, where people are stuck, and desired self-perception
• Crises act as catalysts for change and create opportunities, particularly for entrepreneurs building solutions that help other small business owners and entrepreneurs navigate uncertainty
