Millennials and collaboration 

Keith works with people across different generations. According to him, millennials and gen z’s “are naturally collaborative, and not so defensive.” He thinks millennials and gen z’s are naturally open and supportive of each other. 

Super communities and Borders? 

Keith shares his perspective on the borders in the world that are closing in instead of opening up. The gulf between countries like America and China seems to widen when there is a great need for communities to come together and fight against the necessary evils, for example, global warming.

“One of the things I found when I was thinking about writing my book is that to get any real understanding of things like economic issues that affect communities, you need to look at the grand sweep of history. In my book, I go back to the bronze age and I look at economic mechanisms that were developed than many of which are more effective than the ones we have now and I think we have to take that perspective on the borders that are emerging in the world at the moment. I think we’re too close to it to really see what is going to happen and particularly with relations between America, China, and Russia. This is something that will play out not over the next 10 years, it’ll play over that next 100-200 years and we may actually over the long term be moving to a much more open society.” 

Collaboration and communication is the only way forward for a better inclusive world. Tune in to this episode to find out how Keith has achieved this with his books and his company.
