From What If to What Next

Rob Hopkins

Booking Overview

A monthly interview show focused on radical imagination, climate action, social change, and visions for more equitable futures, featuring authors, researchers, activists, creative practitioners, and leaders of civic or ecological initiatives. Agencies could credibly pitch climate and sustainability thinkers, social-impact founders, researchers, authors, filmmakers, and artists with substantive work on alternative futures; booking difficulty is medium because guests are established niche experts and influential practitioners rather than mainstream celebrities.

105 - Imandeep Kaur

September 01, 2026

Imandeep Kaur, or Immy to her friends, is the Director and Co-Founder of Civic Square in Birmingham, their Director of Mission and Strategy.
