In this week’s show we meet Dan Wake and learn about his amazing new book, ‘Eat the Wind: Travels with Dictators, Mercenaries, and Queens.’  And as I say in the show, that’s the coolest title for a book I’ve come across in years. 

In this week’s show our guest, Kevin Qian, spoke at one point about how he helps his clients ‘converge’ on the right actionable idea.

In this week’s show, host Carl Nordgren talks about complexity and suggest it could be seen as the science of creativity.

In this week’s show I talked about story, and how our brains get utilized in the processing of stories. New information means new pathways — fertile neural soil in which flowers of creativity and inspiration can bloom.

In this week’s show I shared examples of ‘Common Wealth’ from my new book, ‘Common Ground for US’. I shared two examples and mentioned there was a third. This is it, and probably one of my favorite stories to tell.

In this week’s show Elana Michelson told us about her new novel ‘Part of the Solution: A Counterculture Whodunit.’  The book sounds so interesting–“first-rate…addictive reading” one reviewer wrote–and its back story is great fun. 

In this week’s show Jori Hanna and I talked about her new novel, ‘The Regulars of Amanda Lexie’. She shares that the book flows from her asking ‘What if’ questions about the frequent customers of the coffee shop where Amanda works. 

Join host Carl Nordgren for this week’s exploration into the unique biological markers of knowledge, wisdom and experience.
