Steve Sammartino
(@sammartino)
is an author, futurist and business technologist, who has incredible insights on technology and how it will shape our lives in the future. His belief in diversification in ways of making money (he prefers not to use the word ‘job’) is multi-faceted across writing, speaking and investing. With a background in startups, sales, and marketing, Steve has managed to utilise those abilities and bring them into tech-minded projects. From garnering 9 million views on his viral video of a Lego car, to his successful app Sneaky Surf, the man certainly knows how to practice what he preaches.
In this episode we covered:
The viral Lego car video
How he came to be a ‘futurist’
Gauging tech needs of the future
Ingredients for disruption
The cult of CEO wages
What he sees five years from now
Predicting the decentralisation of cities
The flexibility of the gig economy
His books, and becoming a writer
Rubiks cubes and puzzles
Something that annoys him about the tech industry
Learning other languages
The rise of China
A problem he faces everyday, that hasn’t been solved yet
Enjoy the episode,
