Why does the future feel so much darker, even when life has never been better? In this video, we explore the shift from the hopeful, imaginative visions of the future we grew up with to the pervasive bleakness that dominates today’s narratives. From the cultural impact of The Jetsons and Children of Men to the role of technology and the stories we tell, we unpack why optimism about the future seems harder to find. But it doesn’t have to stay that way. The solution lies in telling better stories—ones that focus on connection, purpose, and what truly makes us human. Join me as I explore how we can reimagine the future and reclaim our belief in something better. What kind of future do you want to believe in? Let’s talk about it.
