Nikola Danaylov Media Page
The people I serve: I help event planners deliver eye-opening conferences about the dangers and opportunities of new technology so they can stand out with maximum attendance, engagement, and impact.
The problems I solve: I translate complex technologies and big trends into simple stories anyone can understand. I help audiences deal with too much change in too short a time - aka Future Shock. I help people give birth to their own ideas and prepare for the future.
What I offer: Straight talk about our future, exponential technology, disruptive change and Artificial Intelligence.
Who I am: Nikola Danaylov - Bestselling Author, Keynote Speaker, Technology Raconteur, Futurist, Vegan, and Philosopher.
My Creds: My book “Conversations with the Future” is a #1 International Bestseller. My Singularity.FM is the most popular podcast in the niche and the reason why I have been referred to as the “Larry King of the Singularity.”
My appearances: I have spoken at many public and private events on technology, Artificial Intelligence, and the future of humanity. My Singularity.FM has had over 7+ million views and has been featured on the BBC, Space, MTV, ArteTV, TV Japan, RTL4, WIRED, the Telegraph, io9, the Huffington Post, ZDNet, BoingBoing, and many others.
My message: What if your car doesn’t need a driver anymore? What if we don’t need to age and die? What if machines get smarter than us? What if your toothbrush gets smarter than you? What happens to your business? What happens to you? Because no matter who you are or what you do, the future will always find you. The question is: Will you find the future?!...
Why book me: What if instead of fear of the future – you see opportunity, instead of an end – you see a beginning, instead of loss – you see profit, and instead of death – you see life? What if you and your organization learn to see the opportunities beside the dangers? I have been "interviewing the future" for many years and motivating people all over the world to embrace rather than fear it. What if you start asking “What if?” before it’s too late?
Who will benefit: Those who want to drive change rather than be driven by it. Those who want to surf the tsunami of exponential technology and disruptive change rather than drown.

Nikola's Brief Story:
In 2009, Nikola Danaylov completed his master's degree and entered the army of unemployed job seekers at the peak of the recession. "I stopped counting after I sent out 300 resumes - I got one interview which apparently didn't go well because they never called me back," Nikola remembers. "One of my applications went out to the first and only blog dedicated to the technological singularity at that time. They were looking to hire a staff writer and, given my education, past research and writing skills, I thought I made the best candidate you could get. I eagerly anticipated an email telling me how totally perfect I was for the job, but the email never came. So, after two weeks of waiting in vain, it slowly started to dawn on me that I wasn't getting that job either. Then, a crazy thought occurred to me: maybe, just maybe, I didn't need them. Perhaps there was some tiny chance I might be able to do it on my own. I could start my own Singularity website. I mean, how hard could it be?"
Fifteen years after its humble beginning, the Singularity.FM podcast has had over 7 million views on iTunes and YouTube and has been featured on international TV networks as well as on some of the biggest blogs in the world, such as BBC, ArteTV, MTV, Space, TV Japan, io9, The Telegraph, The Huffington Post, ZDNet, BoingBoing and others. Today Singularity Weblog and the Singularity.FM podcast are among the original first and most widely recognized independent media in the niche, and, according to Prof. Roman Yampolskiy, Nikola has established himself as the "Larry King of the Singularity."
