David Zach is a Futurist. I don’t know about you, but before meeting David at AIAS Forum in Chicago, I thought Futurism was the creation of science fiction writers. But in fact, David Zach is a professional Futurist.
David is a full time speaker and has given more than 1500 presentation over the past 27 years. He was a member of the board of directors for AIA National and has a personal passion for the future of architecture.
This is an action packed episode of the Entrepreneur Architect Podcast. We talked about so much, from future trends in architecture to how to get started as a public speaker. He recites quotes, gives great advice and recommends a bunch of videos, books and websites, so you are going to want to visit the show notes for this one posted below.
I really enjoyed speaking with David. I hope this one gets you thinking.
