Conversations towards a world that work for everyone

For innovators and community builders interested in how collective action and peer-powered solutions can shape a world that works for all

About us

Entangled Future is a podcast exploring emergent mutuality, produced by Lucas Tauil.

Looking into the many threads of our social fabric and engaging in conversation with the people shaping these spaces, we aim to identify adjacent possibilities—opportunities for collaboration and innovation—that enable us to collectively build a planet where everyone thrives.

My warmest gratitude to the Holochain Foundation team for sponsoring this Podcast. Holochain is creating technology that helps people team up, share information, and solve their own problems together—without needing a middle-man. Creating carriers that cannot be captured, Holochain guarantees privacy and holds space for innovation.
