About John Hopkins
Welcome.
This is a community using mortality awareness to live braver, sleep deeper and design a next chapter of life that is immeasurably richer than the first.
I’m John Hopkins (Hoppy), Mortality & Purpose Guide, acclaimed creative and experienced founder. I’ve built companies and spent much of my career at the leading edge of the creative industries, but it was through near death experiences, studying natural philosophy and supporting others at the end of life that I discovered something unexpected:
When you acknowledge mortality, life is no longer taken for granted.
Many of us feel like we’re doing everything “right” in life. We build careers, raise families, stay productive and responsible, and yet something vital still feels missing.
