Daniel Hughes is a gifted speaker, poet, leadership coach, and community organizer. Holding a BA from Bluffton University and an MA from Bowling Green State University, he co-creates and uses his education in communication and organizing for the Future Change Makers Movement. Born and raised in Northwest Ohio, Daniel is a passionate advocate dedicated to fostering inclusivity and driving positive change through faith, mindfulness, anti-racism, group facilitation, and community organizing. Hughes believes that unleashing the power of unity by bridging gaps and breaking barriers across diverse communities will build a world where acceptance thrives and positive transformation blooms.

The Future Change Makers Movement will officially launch the first quarter of 2024 with a 6-week virtual real-time cohort, yearly subscription, weekly group and 1-1 coaching, and a DIY self-paced module. Their mission is to unite a diverse group of changemakers, including those who are just beginning their journey and those at pivotal choice points, to take on intentional leadership in the midst of complexity and uncertainty. Their passion is equipping, supporting, and organizing our people to be paid, promoted, recognized, and valued as themselves, confident, and compensated in their professional lives. They employ transformative theories of change such as H.O.W., Kairos, and P2P, emphasizing mindfulness, the fusion of interests, principles, people engagement, power structure reform, and evolving practices.

The Hive is a grassroots mindfulness community curating multi-week classes, workshops and a Membership community. It has been formed by facilitators asking the question, "What are the resources that lie within our vast lineages, traditions, and modalities of healing, and how can we place them in service of the common good?" In this series we’re talking to The Hive’s 6 core faculty members, all of whom have a unique perspective on navigating collective change.

The recited poem was An Invitation to Brave Space by Beth Strano which was adapted by Mickey ScottBey Jones. The musical clips were "Eight" and "Nine" by Sleeping at Last.
