Optimistic Futurism in a Winter Season: Building Resilience Before the Storm with Josh Allan Dykstra

Optimistic Futurism in a Winter Season: Building Resilience Before the Storm with Josh Allan Dykstra

Author: Leisa Peterson March 18, 2026 Duration: 46:06

I hit record with a stranger I met on LinkedIn and this is what happened.

Josh Allan Dykstra is an optimistic futurist, keynote speaker, and host of the Hello Tomorrow podcast. He spent two decades inside organizations trying to make them better places for humans to work. By every available metric, the field largely failed. Now he is writing the book that decodes why.

In this conversation we talk about: Why the future is constructed, not inevitable The coming economic reckoning and what life looks like after fiat currency breaks How seasons of history prepare us for what comes next AI, truth, and the discernment we are losing Entrepreneurship as the best preparation for an uncertain world The heart vs. the mind as civilization shifts Non-attachment as a daily practice

Josh also shares something real about going through personal bankruptcy as an entrepreneur. That moment alone is worth the watch.
