What Does a Futurist Do? A Guide for Business Leaders

What does a Futurist do? The world is shifting at an unprecedented pace. Emerging technologies, evolving consumer behaviors, and global disruptions are reshaping industries faster than most businesses can adapt. The question is: How do you stay ahead vs. constantly playing catch-up? This is where a professional futurist comes in. But let’s be clear—futurists aren’t fortune tellers, and they don’t predict the future with a crystal ball in hand. Rather, they analyze future trends, interpret current trends, and help businesses anticipate change, with the goal of creating a better future.

Trends in Mental Health: The Future of Well-Being Is Changing Faster Than You Think

Mental health has been gaining momentum as a critical societal issue—but progress is not linear. While awareness and innovation are driving improvements, recent political and policy shifts in the U.S. are actively undermining mental health care, funding, and access. Under the Trump administration, rollbacks of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, cuts to mental health funding, and restrictions on key programs have created new barriers—particularly for marginalized communities. These shifts are reshaping the landscape of mental health support in the U.S., forcing healthcare providers, businesses, and advocates to adapt in real time.

The Future of Sport: Rewriting the Rules

What is the Future of Sport? Sport has always been more than a game—it’s a reflection of who we are and who we’re becoming. As a former NCAA athlete and a futurist with a background in strategy and wellness, I’ve seen firsthand how sport can be a vehicle for growth, transformation, and self-actualization.

But the sports industry is shifting. Technology, human potential research, and cultural evolution are redefining how we play, train, and even think about competition. At the same time, we’re seeing cracks in the traditional realm of sports—declining sports events viewership, a shift toward the individual athlete, and a growing hunger for connection, meaning, and even spirituality in athletic performance.

There are not enough mental health providers to meet the current demand for care. 121 million people in the U.S. lived in federally designated mental health professional shortage areas and estimates that 6,000 additional mental health workers are needed.

I recently sat down with Jennifer Fink to talk Mental Health - check out the online exclusive here or download it here.

“Already, we have seen human migration due to climate change and increased costs of living...I think there’s going to be a lot of shifting happening, which can absolutely impact areas of demand for mental health, as well as how it will be delivered.””
