A self-proclaimed futurist, Martin Mitev often feels like he’s living three different lives simultaneously. He scrutinizes what has happened and what appears in newsfeeds and conferences to inspire colleagues to innovate at the office, cultivates two outstanding young citizens at home, and cruises through the full-time lifestyle of a commercial passenger jet captain. Altogether, he lives up to the maxim that just because you don’t know what the future is going to be doesn’t mean you can’t shape how it will transpire.
