I had a blast appearing with crisis communications expert, Alex Greenwood, on his Mysterious Goings On podcast to discuss strategy, creativity, and innovation.
You may wonder how all those subjects fit together?
Well, it’s because Alex is a renaissance dude who is interested in and sees how all these varied topics fit together.
Put another way, he’s my kind of creative thinker!
That time Alex and Mike visited the Queen Emma Bridge in Curaçao
