Who we are
We are Euvie Ivanova and Mike Gilliland, the co-hosts and producers of Future Thinkers Podcast. We traveled the world as digital nomads from 2012 to 2020, exploring different cultures and out-there ideas.
Since 2021, we have been living in BC, Canada and building the smart village project with our 2 kids, family and community.
How did the idea of Future Thinkers Podcast come about?
The two of us always end up getting into these deep, weird, philosophical conversations about the future. One day in December of 2013 we decided to start recording these conversations and publishing them, with the idea of attracting like-minded people. We then started inviting other thinkers as guests on the podcast, and over the years the show has grown into something much bigger than us.
