UCLA LiveWell Everyone’s a Futurist: Structuring Tomorrow’s Thinking
“It is possible to believe that all the past is but the beginning of a beginning… the twilight of the dawn.” – H.G. Wells
But how do we shape what comes next—and prepare for futures we can’t yet see?
Join us for a compelling episode of the UCLA LiveWell podcast featuring Dr. Andy Hines — futurist, professor at the University of Houston, and expert in strategic foresight.
Andy guides us through:
- 🔭 How to scan for signals and build stories about the future.
- 🧠 Why vision is the antidote to chaos and uncertainty.
- 🐸 The role of “frogs”—those who bridge foresight and organizational reality.
- 🧩 How stealth strategies can embed future thinking in resistant cultures.
Whether you're navigating change or dreaming big, this episode will help you think ahead with clarity and purpose.
🎧 Tune in and explore how strategic foresight can help you live—and lead—with intention
