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 However, the real problem isn’t our complex world, but rather our outdated mindsets.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.

Openness and Learning Mindset: Curiosity About Multiple Ways of Futuring
A famous axiom states that “If you never know, you’ll never grow; if you don’t grow, you’ve got no place to go.” (OK, we just made that up, but it’s pretty catchy… right?) Even if it isn’t an actual timeless idiom, the sentiment holds true - when we’re open to learning and expanding our field of knowledge instead of becoming closed to ideas that shake up our cherished worldviews, we discover ideas, experiences, and wonders that exponentially expand our identity, capacity, and abilities. A life filled with constant curiosity produces amazement, awe, and untapped potential in each and every one of us, and when that happens, we become empowered to enact transformational change.
Join Yvette and Frank as they skip the light fandango toward a life-long exploration of learning, unlearning, and relearning that can make transformation our present reality. (Bonus points if you can spot the Procol Harem reference; “Trivia Royalty” status for those that can name that tune!)
