About

My work is driven by a belief that intuition, exuberant creativity, and authentic stretch goals can unlock phase shifts in people and systems. I am drawn to the unfinished task of protecting and growing the conditions where people can imagine a future fit for their future selves in a more‑than‑human world. I do this by exploring everyday micro‑utopias and preferred futures that are specific enough to be walked toward together.​ Bobby has sought to champion inchoate and emerging social innovations. Bobby co-founded Reframe It. Reframe It founded the CrowdDoing to help social enterprises. Bobby Fishkin has served as a board of Directors member of the Social Enterprise Alliance Bay Area. He worked as a social entrepreneur and Fellow of the Richard Florida Creativity Group and Fellow of the Office of the Mayor of Baltimore, USA. A magna cum laude graduate of Yale College with a B.A. in Philosophy, Bobby is also a playwright who has been produced in London and New York. A documentary about the making of one of his plays is available at: You can see CrowdDoing's systemic change research video here: Richard III ( TEDxHayward talk- 'Peace Innovation"​ You can see CrowdDoing's volunteer rol
