We are living in a time of story breakdown. And as the old narratives and systems unravel, there is an opportunity to explore the world from a different viewpoint and to nurture alternatives: new worldviews, new ideas, new imaginations, new solutions.

If you are into that, then this newsletter will be of great help! You’ll get your mind blown. You’ll rewild your mind. You’ll uncover more and better opportunities and get lots of new, unconventional ideas and inspiration for your projects.

Ultimately, this is about helping you build a better world!

About Me

My name is Thomas Klaffke. I love investigating new perspectives, deep narratives, and unconventional ideas. I am a researcher, thinker, and ‘imaginator’.

I had the pleasure of working for four years at the trend and innovation firm TrendWatching as Head of Research and to build and lead its sister-company Business of Purpose, a community for people who want to transform the way we do business. I have an MA in Futures Studies from the Free University of Berlin, the city I also call home. But I have also had the pleasure of living and working in various other places: as a full-time volunteer in a soup kitchen for the homeless in Chicago; as an intern at a political foundation in Jakarta; and as an innovation consultant at a small startup consultancy in Cape Town.
