Beyond Buzzwords: Futures Literacy as a Way of Being
With Martin Calnan — UNESCO Chair for Futures Literacy in Finance
In this thought-provoking episode, we explore what it truly means to be futures literate — not as a framework or buzzword, but as a way of being in the world. Martin Calnan shares his personal journey from marketing and consulting to pioneering futures literacy in finance, and invites us to rethink how we define value, power, and leadership.
Together, we dive into deep questions about assumptions, vulnerability, and agency — and how asking “whose voice isn’t being heard?” can shift the way we imagine and act on the future.
Whether you're a leader, entrepreneur, or community builder, this conversation offers powerful reflections on how to navigate complexity with humility, curiosity, and care.
