She coined the term “cocooning” – now in the dictionary – and predicted home delivery, remote work, and bottled water decades before they went mainstream.In the second episode of UNREASONABLE, Felix sits down with her in Austin, Texas, for a wild, wide-ranging ride that starts with her name – “people think I’m married to a popcorn” – and ends with the emotional economy.From a childhood in Shanghai to raising two adopted Chinese daughters at 55 and 61, from advising Fortune 500 CEOs to keeping cash at home in case the system collapses, Faith is as unreasonable as they come.“I’m an alien. I don’t have age. So I live in the future.”This episode is a reminder that the future is rarely seen first by the reasonable people in the room.+++Resources mentioned:🌐 Faith Popcorn's BrainReserve: https://faithpopcorn.com📚 The Popcorn Report (1991) — her foundational book on trends: https://www.amazon.com/Popcorn-Report-Faith/dp/0887306136📚 Clicking — 16 trends to future fit your life: https://www.amazon.com/Clicking-Faith-Popcorn/dp/0887308023📚 EVEolution — the eight truths of marketing to women: https://www.amazon.com/EVEolution-Eight-Truths-Marketing-Women/dp/0786867302📚 Dictionary of the Future: https://www.amazon.com/Dictionary-Future-Faith-Popcorn/dp/0786867337🏛️ The Cassandra myth — Greek story Faith references: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Cassandra-Greek-mythology+++What now? 🎙️ Loved this episode?
