• creativity is stronger than knowledge

"In times of change learners inherit the earth; while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists."
~ Eric Hoffer, authore of The True Believer

In solving problems in design, innovation, marketing, product and service developement the best answers are rarely in a book or the theories of ivy-brained academicians.

In the video below my long time friend and cohort at Disney Imagineering, Max Miller, talks of creativity in it's role in the classic "hero's journey."

Max is creating a wonderful series of brief video-casts on transformation in business and personal pursuits. Watch them all ...or as many as you can, on Max's author Facebook site: Max J Miller, Author.

Max also uses the video to review my new book HATCH! (ordering info and downloadable FREE PDF, above.)

Tea Ingredients:

MAD TEA PARTY
As a freelance stage director and Artist-in-Residence I have had two stints at Huntington University (Indiana.) Our playful production of ALICE IN WONDERLAND had an inventive cast including (L - R photo above, left): Kylie Edmonds as Doormouse; Mr. Jeffrey Blossom as March Hair; McNair Wilson, Director; Lauralee Brautigam as Alice; and the indefatigable Daniel Neil Olson as a very Mad Hatter. (Photo by Mr. Mike Burnett.) I love directing for the stage–call me, TODAY!
