Nomad Futurist Pau Makahiki

As the year comes to a close, Nomad Futurist Nabel Mahmood and Phil Koblence take time to reflect on the past twelve months; everything 2022 has brought to the Foundation and some predictions for what 2023 has in store. 

2022 brought along incredible partnerships, sponsorships and podcast guests, all of which helped Nomad Futurist drive their message forward:


“This was very much a year of building the underlying principles that we stand for as a foundation for what we’re trying to accomplish and getting the message out there.”


Nabeel shares his thoughts on the new year:


“I think 2023 is going to be about trying to create a framework that allows all of our initiatives to work together and leverage what we’re all doing to try and broaden our reach, and that’s our main goal.”


Another important goal of the Foundation is to spread the importance of diversity and inclusion in the industry:


“Don’t just hire someone that looks the part for the Board so you can check that box, but empower the people in your organization with the recognition that the perspective they have from their life experiences are gonna be inherently beneficial.”


Phil and Nabeel close by inviting the Nomad Futurist audience to meet them on the road as well as to keep tuning in for the next series of podcasts.


“Your help is imperative. We can’t do this without you!”


Phillip Koblence and Nabeel Mahmood are the co-founders of the Nomad Futurist Podcast and the Nomad Futurist Foundation. They share a common passion for examining the evolution of technology and society, and for developing technology leadership.
