He is often called the “CEO’s’ futurist,” having spoken to or advised 4,000+ CEOs and business owners in the past eleven years.
Houle spent more than 20 years in media and entertainment. He has worked at NBC and CBS and was part of the senior executive team that launched MTV, Nickelodeon, VH1, and CNN Headline News. Houle has won a number of awards. He won two Emmys as co-executive Producer for a nationally syndicated children’s program, “Energy Express.” He won the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award and the Heartland Award for Hank Aaron: Chasing the Dream and was nominated for an Academy Award.
Houle writes a popular and respected newsletter, Evolutionshift.Substack.com. During 2010, Houle was a featured contributor on Oprah.com.
He has been speaking about the future for 11 years, and his influential first book, "The Shift Age," was published in 2007. His second book, "Shift Ed: A Call to Action for Transforming K-12 Education," written with Jeff Cobb, was published in March 2011. "The New Health Age: the Future of Health Care in America," co-authored with Jonathan Fleece, was published by Sourcebooks in January 2012 and became a #1 best seller on Amazon in the categories of Medicine and Future of Health Care.
“Entering the Shift Age” was published by Sourcebooks in January 2013. It is also a #1 Amazon best-seller in the category of Business Planning and Forecasting.

In 2019, Houle published “Moving to a Finite Earth Economy-Crew Manual” written with Bob Leonard. This book answers the question: how can humanity successfully face climate change and do so by 2030?
In 2020, Houle published the first of a series of high-level, short books on the decade of the 2020s. This first book is “The 2020s: The Most Disruptive Decade in History”.

In December 2021, “The 2020s: The Golden Age of Design and Redesign,” co-authored with James Fathers, was published to great acclaim from the global design community. Shortly thereafter, “A Look Into 2022 – A Split-Screen Year.”
Houle has delivered speeches to scientists at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden CO, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Burning Man. He has delivered 5 TEDx talks in the last 10 years.

David Houle Speaking Topics
An overview of the most disruptive decade in history. Why is this the most disruptive decade? What is going to happen between now and 2030? What are the major dynamics, the ascendant trends, and how will they change our realities. This decade is and will be one of the most important historic transitions in all of history. What was is fast giving way to what will be. This is Houle’s most popular keynote topic, based upon the book series that has already become a much discussed series about our collective future.
This high-level long-range presentation looks at the two trajectories now facing humanity today. Which one will we take, the long-future of 100,000-200,000 years or the short one of 100-200 years? The next few decades will determine this and what we do in the next few decades will determine which trajectory we will be on. This presentation looks at Climate, Intelligence, Population, Capitalism, and Consciousness and the unlimited potential on one trajectory and probably extinction with the other. This presentation is what you want if the goal is to provide your attendees with a mind-bending look as to what lies ahead for those alive today.
We have entered the Age of Intelligence here in the 2020s. What will it look like? When will the tipping points occur? What can AI do now and what will it be able to do in the future? What can we do to insure a true and safe partnership between Technological Intelligence and Human Intelligence? Any new and significant technology always disrupts the existing reality. How will AI alter our reality 10,20,50 years out? This presentation offers insight to this and will leave the audience with expanded minds.
