The companies that outperform in the next cycle will be the ones that see inflection points before everyone else. Not by guessing. By anticipating.

On this episode of Beyond the Numbers, I’m joined by Daniel Burrus, one of the most respected futurists in business and a leading voice on how technology shapes growth, disruption, and competitive advantage.

Daniel has advised the Department of Defense, influenced strategy inside Fortune 500 boardrooms, founded multiple high-growth companies, and built a research organization trusted by leaders navigating rapid change.

His work on Hard Trend Planning and anticipatory strategy has reshaped how operators think about risk, opportunity, and execution.

This conversation will focus on how founders, CFOs, and operators can use AI and predictive insights to make clearer decisions in a landscape defined by volatility.

We’ll dig into three core themes:

1. From Data to Certainty: How Predictive Insights Drive Confident Growth Decisions

2. AI + Human Ingenuity: Using Intelligent Tools to Build Financial Clarity and Agility

3. The Anticipatory Organization: Turning Disruption into Sustainable Business Growth

If you’re responsible for capital, execution, or long-term strategy, this session will give you a clearer lens on where advantage forms and how to move before the market forces you to.
