Exploring Your Creative Genius: Episode 145
The past two weeks my radio shows have begun outlining the ways political leaders will serve us better when they integrate into their governance and policy making the creative and entrepreneurial ideas and concepts I have collected in my new book ‘Common Ground for US’, due out in early June.
Last week I focused on the great opportunity we have when political and community leaders embrace the certainty of a Universal Basic Income.
The book was near the end of the publisher’s editing process when a US Senate committee released their report predicting, and warning, that 90 million of our country’s 160 million jobs could be eliminated in the next ten years as businesses replace employees with AI and robotics.
You’ll find the book is shaped by the idea that no one can predict what will happen as we face a future of unknowable unknowns, so I don’t believe this prediction is accurate.
I do believe it is indicative.
The book shows how each of us can best prepare to successfully make our way in an unknowable future and offers communications strategies and policy ideas for politicians and community leaders to help them create advantages for all of us.
I often go to sleep at night smiling as I imagine the grassroots renaissance that would occur when leaders—in anticipation of a UBI—invest in creativity and entrepreneurship education and in common wealth utilities like maker spaces, new venture incubators, wet labs, and commercial kitchens.
It would be transcendent when they help us develop our human creative capital, then provide facilities where builders can build, creators can create, growers can grow, makers can make.
“Exploring Your Creative Genius” takes an expansive view on what it means to be creative and entrepreneurial in an ongoing conversation led by Carl Nordgren — entrepreneur, novelist, and lifelong student with decades of experience growing his own creative capacity and assisting others to do the same in exciting new ways!
