We Are In.Tuition – Remixing the Goods

On Love and Creativity
AcademyXi asked me to speak at an openIDEO event in Sydney. I couldn’t attend, because I was at Wir Bauen Zukunft in Germany.

remixing storytelling to do some good
These mornings when you wake up and the first thing you do is grab pen and paper to write down the epiphanies you had … 80% are rubbish. But sometimes they’re the bomb. Below is a list that I wrote down in a frenzy one morning: purposeful storytelling* as a remix of schools and techniques…
