Jeff Desjardins is the Editor-in-Chief of Visual Capitalist, frequently featured on Business Insider, Forbes, CNBC, MarketWatch, The Huffington Post, and The World Economic Forum.

A staggering 2.5 exabytes of data is generated every day, making our world increasingly difficult to understand. By exposing the bigger picture through data-driven infographics, Visual Capitalist help readers cut through the clutter and simplify a complex world.

I spoke to Jeff about his new book, ‘Signals: The 27 Trends Defining the Future of the Global Economy’. The book draws on the oceans of data we're all surrounded by, to extract insights about where the world is headed, from society & demographics to technological innovation. In today’s episode, we focus on the socioeconomic trends governing the nearly 8 billion people on this planet. Enjoy!
