EP 62 - The Secret To Kevin Kelly's Optimism

Kevin Kelly played a pivotal role in the establishment of Wired magazine back in 1993, where he assumed the role of executive editor during its formative seven years. His journey in the tech and digital landscape began even earlier when he contributed to the launch of The Well, a groundbreaking online service, in 1985. Prior to Wired, he also held positions as the publisher and editor of a branch of The Whole Earth Catalog. Beyond his media ventures, Kevin Kelly is deeply involved in shaping the future through his role as the co-chair of the Long Now Foundation, a membership-based organization dedicated to promoting long-term thinking and fostering responsibility toward future generations. His accomplishments have made him an iconic figure among the early cohorts of technology professionals. Yet, Kelly's influence extends to the younger generations entering the workforce as he's equally passionate about sharing his valuable insights as a futurist.
