He credits several key figures—including political mentor Zoran Đinđić, musical inspirations Milan Mladenović and Peter Gabriel, and strategic nonviolence thinker Gene Sharp—as formative “fathers” in different realms of his growth. Popovic focuses on Đinđić, a philosopher-turned-politician who became Serbia’s first democratically elected prime minister after the fall of dictator Slobodan Milošević. Đinđić, later assassinated in 2003, taught Popovic a powerful lesson: constant learning is essential to growth and vitality. Popovic recalls Đinđić’s relentless self-improvement—even learning English mid-flight to meet President Clinton—as an embodiment of this philosophy. Today, Popovic carries that passion into his global work training nonviolent movements, emphasizing that staying curious and committed to learning keeps him energized and engaged.\n
