Welcome to the first show of „The adventure future“. I am Stephan Magnus, a futurist, consultant and digital media producer based in the Algarve, Portugal, originally coming from Germany.

This podcast about the future already has a past. Adventure Future started 2006 as a German language podcast about future topics. Soon it was the leading future podcast in Germany, leading to lots of speaker engagements for me. As one of the pioneers in podcasting, I then was able to introduce the methods and technology of social media, enterprise 2.0, Podcasting and Videocasting to lots of companies. With partners, I implemented communities, Mobile-Learning-Platforms, E-Learning-Universities or new approaches to search and distribute knowledge about best practices. These digital approaches are still my major working tools to open paths to the future.

The other part is in speaker assignments and future workshops, when the goal is for people to think in a different way, to shake up the people a little bit for good, to find new ways, or get excited about the possibilities of the future. Either in business, in politics, in administration or in personal life.

Now, after five years of producing shows about the future in German language, Adventure Future starts again, in English, so that the ideas and discussions can get global.

In this show you'll hear some words about what is special about this future podcast and about my approach. 

The podcast shows are accompanied by a blog “The adventure future”, and a Facebook page. You will find all this over my homepage www.vreedom.com.
