Create the Future – I Tell the Story

Jim Beach hosts an award-winning radio/podcast from Atlanta, GA. He calls the program School for Startups.

Jim interviewed me, and we talked about my leadership guidebook Create the Future – what it is about and why I wrote it.

The audio of the interview is HERE. Take a few minutes while you are driving and avoiding the news to listen to an informal chat about how leaders use Create the Future as their guide when they face an important decision.

Flowers on the Volcano

I hope you read about my vacation sailing from St. Lucia and St. Vincent in the Caribbean. These are volcanic islands with tall mountains rising directly from the sea. Green is the predominant color with black and white sand beaches. Banana is the common crop replacing the original sugar plantations. The large banana bunches are enclosed in plastic bags to ripen while still growing on the tree.

Here is a flower that made its statement in the panoply of green.
