Optimism is far more powerful than you might think. The choice between optimism and pessimism shapes the quality of our lives, our society's decisions, and often becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The truth is, there has never been a better time to be alive than now; it's just that it's not the media's job to inform you of this. That's why we're launching Hopepunk—to correct the narrative, offering an evidence-based perspective on why you should be incredibly excited about the future.

Welcome to Hopepunk, the podcast for informed optimism.

If you leave this episode feeling even slightly more optimistic, we ask that you share it with someone who could benefit from a bit more optimism in their life.

To celebrate the launch of Hopepunk and the spirit of not just talking about a better future but building one, we will donate a meal to someone in need for the first 500 reviews we receive on our podcast.
