Aaron welcomes Carl Nordgren, the host of “Exploring Your Creative Genius” on 97.9 The Hill. He’s just written a new book, “Common Ground for US,” which promotes a “creative populist” approach to politics and government (and problem-solving in general) that encourages everyone to harness their latent creative-entrepreneurial powers to improve society and fight polarization.

Visit CarlNordgren.com for more on the book.

Nordgren will be discussing the book at Golden Fig Books in Carrboro Thursday, June 4, from 6:30-8:00 p.m.  Click here to RSVP!
