Exploring Your Creative Genius

The last two episodes have shared animal stories that, in most cases, I experienced while living on our 6 acre ‘farmette’ in South Durham County for nearly 20 years. Humans need to be in close association with animals, I’m convinced, for they bring so much to our lives.

In last week’s episode I share stories about ‘Farmyard Animals I have Loved’—a favorite book of mine as a boy was Ernest Thompson Seton’s ‘Wild Animals I have Known’, so the title was a bit of homage.

Last Sunday Vlad Glaveanu was the guest of the show — and when you listen, you’ll understand why I am excited about Vlad returning on a regular basis.

In last week’s show I channeled a handful of guests and shared some of the key creative and entrepreneurial messages they shared with us over the past few months.

In this episode I interviewed Jake Axelbank and we learned about the new children’s television show he is creating along with Heather O’Reilly.  It’s called ‘Footy & Friends’!

In our last episode of ‘Exploring your Creative Genius’ I interviewed the short story writer, Ken Wetherington. There are two ideas I want to highlight for you.

John Lowe is such a great guest, don’t be surprised if this second visit isn’t his last. When he came back a second time he hit two really important topics, failure and leadership.

Last week Rob Cotter, founder and CEO of Environmental Transit Authority, was the guest. ETF manufactures the coolest and most fuel-efficient commercial vehicle on the road, the ELF.
