The traditional approach to a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) environment has often involved attempts to eliminate uncertainty, simplify complexity, and overcome volatility and ambiguity. This relies on mindsets and systems built on ideas like strategic hindsight, efficiency, simplicity, certainty, and control. Recent events have highlighted that these existing systems are ineffective. Attempts to solve complex challenges with simple or temporary solutions often fail because they don't address underlying structures, values, and narratives.

The universe is, in its very nature, VUCA. Instead of battling it, we should consider embracing it.

Embrace the Long Now.

The Long Now is not about compressing time but stretching it. It's an idea of integrating the best of the past and the most vibrant aspirations for the future to inform decisions in the present. It means seeing the "now" not just as immediacy, but as a longer span, recognizing that our actions today have long-term effects and build upon the past. It is about a mindset that includes the past, present, and future together as one comprehensive timeframe.

Embracing the Long Now means leaning into the unknown, mystery, and emergence. It recognizes that complexity and uncertainty are not problems to be solved but inherent aspects of the universe. When embraced, this environment can lead to greater opportunities, generativity, resilience, and abundance. This shifts the focus from trying to control everything to being in a perpetual state of readiness for any future that unfolds.

Join Frank and Yvette June 26th for the Wicked Opportunities Livestream and explore how you can apply these insights to navigate and shape your future and contribute to a Long Now perspective today!

Lost your sense of place or purpose? You’re not alone.

Many of us are experiencing a profound identity crisis – an escalating loss of contextual meaning tied to connection and purpose. Traditional ways of navigating this complex world are falling short, revealing the limitations of existing systems and mindsets built on outdated assumptions.

What if this moment isn't just a crisis, but a gateway to a new way of being? Join us for the next Wicked Opportunities Livestream when Frank and Yvette explore the vital shift from this crisis to the potential of Extended Reality.

Extended Reality isn't just a concept; it's about adopting and integrating a mutually interdependent reality that manifests the benefits of we over me. This means moving beyond siloed thinking towards recognizing our collective nature and shared future. It calls for transforming our mindsets, social structures, technology use, and innovation processes.

This powerful transition is not merely philosophical but is increasingly recognized as the essential path for thriving in complexity and shaping a better future.

Ready to understand this crucial shift and how you can actively participate in creating this future?

Join this month's livestream to dive deeper into Extended Reality and discover the opportunities it presents for navigating our complex world.

From crumbling trust in institutions to the widening wealth gap, it’s clear: today’s systems weren’t designed with everyone in mind. Around the world, we’re watching top-down structures falter - and the consequences are real.

But what if this breakdown is actually a breakthrough?

It’s time to flip the script - from navigating the wicked problem of Systemic Barriers to embracing the Wicked Opportunity of Decentralized Prosperity. Imagine a world where wealth, power, and progress aren't trapped at the top, but distributed through communities, networks, and emerging systems that work for all.

This shift isn’t about patching the old. We’re creating something entirely new - regenerative systems built on transparency, inclusion, and shared leadership. The early signs are everywhere: community-owned businesses, open-source governance, mutual aid networks, and economic models that prioritize people and the planet over profit. These aren’t fringe experiments; they’re signals of a future taking root.

What role will you play in that future?

Join Frank and Yvette for a free livestream conversation that explores how we can transition from exclusion to inclusion, from centralized control to collective empowerment.

You’ll discover:

• Why systemic barriers persist - and how they’re being challenged by new, decentralized models of power and progress
• Real-world signals of decentralized prosperity already emerging across business, governance, and grassroots movements
• How to reimagine your role - as a leader, changemaker, or citizen - in co-creating equitable, regenerative futures
• Ways to move beyond reform and toward transformation in your organization or community

Don’t miss this powerful dialogue that invites you to become part of the transformation.

From melting glaciers to vanishing languages, we’re witnessing not just ecological decline - but the erasure of human diversity and cultural meaning. Welcome to the Homogenocene - an age defined by sameness, standardization, and systemized extinction.

But this isn’t the end of the story.

A new path is emerging - one of Anthropological Regeneration.

Instead of reducing the human experience to metrics and markets, we can revive what makes us truly human: empathy, story, ritual, diversity, and belonging. Regeneration goes beyond nature, it should include renewing our social fabrics, worldviews, and collective imagination as well.

In this free livestream conversation, Frank and Yvette will explore how we can transform the narrative from one of collapse to one of conscious creation. Together, we’ll look beyond short-term fixes and uncover long-range strategies for becoming better ancestors.

This is more than a discussion. It’s an invitation.

What you’ll take away:

• Big-picture insight into the Homogenocene and its impact on cultural and ecological diversity
• Inspiring examples of anthropological regeneration already happening around the world
• A mindset shift to reframe extinction as a doorway to human evolution
• Provocative questions to spark reflection in your community, organization, or personal practice
• A renewed sense of agency that regeneration isn’t just possible - it’s already begun

Let’s reclaim the power to imagine and regenerate the human experience.
