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 However, the real problem isn’t our complex world, but rather our outdated mindsets.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

Long-Term Orientation and Visioning: Embracing a Long-Now View in the Development of Visions of the Future
In this last episode within the Thinking dimension of the Inner Development Goals, TWOP hosts Yvette Montero Salvatico and Frank Spencer get to talk about their favorite subject: Kevin Bacon! Correction… we meant to say “visioning.” (But who doesn’t also love a good 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon story?) Embodying the trait of visioning is about much more than supercharging our imaginations for greater possibilities, though that’s an important part; it’s about having the inner ability to sustain and act upon those visions so that we don’t lose heart on our journey to transformative outcomes. And that’s not all! Visioning also empowers us to expand our field of passion, purpose, and potential, both individually and collectively, enlarging our initial ideas to encompass spaces beyond our wildest dreams. So roll up for the magical mystery tour - we’re hoping to take you away. (Don’t worry, we’ll bring you back again, but we can’t promise you’ll be the same.)
