Humans have the opportunity to imagine a better future and weave new stories into our culture. By embracing the uncertainty and ambiguity inherent in life, we can start the journey towards a world we’re proud to leave for future generations.

Through poetry and storytelling, we can create a narrative arc that inspires hope and encourages action in the face of the converging crises of our time. It is a time for problem-solving and collective growth, as we navigate the challenges and strive for positive change.

This is part one of a two-part conversation with writer, poet, and storyteller, Richard Wain, who’s recently released a book of poetry titled Beyond the Brink is the Beginning.

Richard's writing explores the concept of "thrutopia": a vision for a better future. He’s part of a community of writers and thinkers who are committed to weaving new stories into culture and envisioning a world that future generations can be proud of.

In this episode, Richard discusses his inspiration for the book and the importance of imagination in addressing the converging crises of our time. Stay tuned for part two of the conversation, in which Richard shares some of his poetry and the inspiration behind it.
