Fall in Love with the Future with Rob Hopkins

Paul Skinner, founder of MarketingKind, interviewed Rob Hopkins, author and co-founder of the Transition Network and Transition Town Totnes, to explore the ideas in his latest book How to Fall in Love With the Future: A Time Traveler’s Guide to Changing the World. 

Rob shared how he is creating memories of the future and giving people something to work towards. He believes imagination is our greatest strength and we all need to use it to create longing for a fairer future on a large scale.

We explored marketing the future, a national Imagination Act and time travel as a beautiful device.

Rob shared what inspires him from a world of women of colour, particularly in the US, who are writing about radical imagination and time travel such as adrienne maree brown, Ruha Benjamin and Rasheedah Phillips and Black Quantum Futurism.
