In Episode 4 of Season 2 of The Future With Friends, Simon Waller is joined by long-time friend and acclaimed storyteller Yamini Naidu for a conversation that is equal parts thought-provoking and delightfully entertaining.
Inspired by the emerging idea of friction maxing, Yamini imagines a future where technology has removed almost every inconvenience from daily life. But what happens when a world without queues, awkward conversations or unexpected interruptions also becomes a world without spontaneity, resilience and genuine human connection?
Through humour, storytelling and plenty of laughs, Simon and Yamini explore whether our pursuit of convenience is quietly costing us something far more valuable. From surprise visits and chance encounters to endurance events, relationships and even the simple act of complimenting a stranger, they unpack why a little friction might be exactly what makes us human.
It's a warm, insightful conversation that will leave you questioning whether the future we're building is making life easier... or simply less alive.
