The Wicked Opportunities Podcast
The world is filled with Wicked Problems - incredibly complicated predicaments that don’t have simple solutions. However, the real problem isn’t our complex world, but rather our outdated mindsets. The way that we see the future directly impacts the actions that we take today, so a better world requires better visions. Join futurists Yvette Montero Salvatico and Frank Spencer each week as they use the Natural Foresight® Framework to reframe our Wicked Problems into the transformational ideas that they call Wicked Opportunities.

Foresight Deficit Syndrome
When it seems hard to think about the future with intention. When you feel surprised by events that could have been easily imagined, when nostalgia for the future seems impossible to embrace, if you or a loved one have struggled with any of these symptoms, you may have Foresight Deficit Syndrome. FDS can be hard to manage using the well-worn approaches in our present-day systems, but help is available. If you want to be free from the tyranny of short-term thinking - and want to bring others along with you on this journey of freedom - then Foresight and Futures Thinking may be right for you. Don’t hesitate to overcome FDS - join Futurists Yvette and Frank on this episode right away! (Side effects may include dry mouth from trying to explain foresight to others, blurred vision from seeing multiple viewpoints, and temporary confusion from overcoming persistent biases and assumptions.)
