Hi, I’m Paula.

I started Futurekind Talks for two reasons.

First, I want to explore what it would truly take to create a future where more of us can flourish. Technology has always been a powerful driver of human progress, but I believe we need more than that. I’ve spent years working in the social impact space, and one thing has become clear to me: technology doesn’t exist in a vacuum. The human story is shaped not just by innovation, but by the stories we tell, the systems we build, and the paradigms we live within. Technology, culture, societal institutions, and economic structures—these things don’t stand alone. They are deeply intertwined, and if we want to create real change, we need to explore all of these facets of the human experience.

The second reason I started this podcast is because I believe in reimagining what’s possible—together. I don’t have all the answers, but I know that asking better questions is a start. Too often, we unknowingly shackle ourselves mentally, limiting our ability to envision and create something new. My hope is that Futurekind Talks can help us push beyond those constraints, so we can start to see—and build—the future we actually want.

And let’s be real: we’re living through a tumultuous time. This isn’t about ignoring what’s happening or pretending everything is fine. It’s about reflecting and reconnecting with a vision worth fighting for. Futurekind Talks is a space to learn, explore, and imagine together. I’m so glad you’re here.
