Ep 197: Innovation (with David Ashcraft)

About this episode

David Ashcraft discusses how innovation is accessible to everyone and not just the naturally creative.

When the word, "innovation" gets mentioned, there tends to be two broad reactions: some people love pioneering and creating new things. However, a lot of people immediately think, "I am not creative; innovation is something that comes easily to other people and not me." If you find yourself in that latter group, today's interview with GLN President and CEO David Ashcraft will hopefully dispel those thoughts and show how innovation doesn't mean creating something out of nothing. If you're ready to discover how to give yourself space for innovation, give this episode a listen.
