Friends,
This is the first in a series of episodes on How To Live in 2025, focusing on the thoughts, feelings, and actions we need to thrive, develop,  create, and resist. At the end of each of these episodes, I’ll offer an exercise – a thought exercise, spiritual exercise, or practical exercise – that brings an experiential dimension to what I and the shows guests talk about. That way, you won’t only be participating by listening, but you can actually bring some of the vitality of the conversation forward.

As 2025 begins, it feels like we’re heading into uncharted territory; an un-illuminated path which cannot be navigated using the cultural, political, and economic tools and structures we’re used to. Furthermore, we don’t want to merely make our way through, we want to improve things as we go, delivering ourselves, each other, and everyone into a future that is beautiful and creative, where we are able to follow our own genuine interests, live into out talents, and to live out our karma. We want to act not just against disaster, but in ways that create good, a good that works for ourselves as individuals and at the same time does not clash with the good we offer to the rest of the world.

In other words we survival tools that don’t dead end in staying alive, but assist us in nourishing each other.

The theme and action of this episode is ENVISION.
And my guest is ROB HOPKINS.

Rob is the author of From What Is to What If: Unleashing the Power of Imagination to Create the Future We Want and the forthcoming Falling in Love with the Future. He’s also the host of the excellent 100-episode podcast, From What If to What Next which features a different conversation with big thinkers on each episode. He’s also a founder of the Transition Network, which works via multiple initiatives (planting trees, local food sufficiency, alternate modes of transport, mental health support, and more) to usher towns and communities out of their entanglement with cultural, political and economic death, and into thriving and healthy sufficiency.

Make sure you listen through to the end for an exercise on envisioning.

Thank you friends,
Let’s move forward with confidence and all that we need and more,
CH
